That's one good thing the tsunami did was to clean up the beach. The safe swimming area on Kho Phi Phi was getting smaller and smaller each year. They are back again now but it was good for a while need another tsunami.

Not being insensitive to the loss of lives and all with it, but agree.   We popped down to Khao Lak & Phuket just after the tsunami, and the beaches were all pristine again.  Sadly, didn't take long to screw it all up again.  Times 10 when it comes to Khal Lak, as it continues to expand.

 

Hua Hin doesn't really have that issue, as all beachfront is utilized already, so some regulations may help keep the stupid people from hurting themselves and others.  Not that I would swim in the gulf fronting HH anyway.
