Hi guys,

I already posted this in the general section, but as was suggested, I post it here bucause you guys are in the area.

A friend and I would like to make a little short film about thailand and thai people. We want to depict industriousness in connection with rebuilding life, business and livelyhood after the tsunami.

Therefore I want to ask here in the forum if any of you guys have met such a thai person, know someone we could talk to and maybe portrait, or if you in the last months yourself have seen such entrepreneurship depicted on your own travels.

We want to hear your story.

Thanks for all input.

Simon and Chris

Hello again,

There havent been any answers to my query here yet. I am thinking about why that might be, and the only thing I can come up with is that the people in the know around here choose not to answer. Maybe it is too early to talk about the tsunami again, after all we have been overfed by the media about the wave and everything around it.

I also think that me and my mate could just go to Phi Phi and see for ourselves how the reconstructions and cleaning up is proceeding. We will do that.

However, maybe some of you could fill me in as to how things look at Phi Phi now. Is Ton Sai beach cleaned up? Is it possible to go and stay there now, and if not, when do they expect the area to reopen to overnight stays.

If you dont know about these details, I would be happy if you could advise me who to turn to. There must be someone knowing about these things in phuket area.

Best,

Simon
