Ya Nui Tsunami House Shell Demolished...

[khall64au]

Anybody who knew Leonie Cousens will know that the Ya Nui beach house (Phuket) that she perished in during 2005 tsunami has finally been demolished.

After more than a year and a half since the tragedy, the local Or Bor Tor decided to clear the graffiti-ridden site on one of the planet's most beautiful beaches.

God bless Leonie's soul!!!

Let's hope that the site will be dedicated to a public park rather than an impromptu car park or an extension of the scrap heap that the area is fast becoming....

A park would be nice, was there yesterday and now the shell is cleared it is quite a large area, a small park with a memorial would be nice

Yes, still so sad to think about Leonie - she did so much for the animals! Hope they do a public park there.

A park is a great idea. I think of her often. We got one of our dogs from her. She was a great lady with a wonderful sense of humour.

Just drove down to Yanui and sat in peace... soooo many stars, so beautiful!

Was quite bizarre, cos I had loads of questions for Leonie... and everytime I asked a question, the lightening struck out over the islands - kind of like, BIG-yes and little-YES style... I'm still shaking my head!

Thankyou Leonie...

I believe the land (and house) is owned by Mission Hospital. (I think it is anyway)
