Thailandesi e stranieri accendono candele vicino a sculture di sabbia rappresentanti alcune delle migliaia di vittime

Thais and foreigners light candles next to sand sculptures representing some of the thousands of people that perished in the 2004 tsunami during a commemoration ceremony to mark the sixth anniversary of the boxing day disaster at Patong beach, Phuket island, Thailand, 26 December 2010. Six years after a tsunami hit Thailand’s Andaman Sea coast, claiming up to 5,400 victims - half of them foreign tourists - the disaster continues to haunt the tourism industry, this year in the guise of superstition.
