IN KAWTHOUNG A BRIDGE COLLAPSED BUT TOWN LARGELY UNSCATHED NGAPALI, CHAUNGTHA AND NGWESAUNG BEACHES HAVE NOT BEEN AFFECTED THE MAIN AFFECTED AREAS ARE IN THE AYEYAWADY DELTA - ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A LOT OF LOSS OF PROPERTY WHEN THE VILLAGERS SAW THE FIRST TSUNAMI THEY IMMEDIATELY FLED THE COAST AND THUS MOST OF THEM SURVIVED RECEIVED FROM SEAL
The dive sites in the Mergui Archipelago
were completely unaffected by the waves or surges and the islands also escaped
topside damage or destruction. They remain as beautiful and unspoiled as ever.
We had trips operating out in the Mergui Archipelago on the 26th December. Our
crews only noted strange surges and currents through the islands for a couple of
hours and definitely not large Tsunami waves, as seen on the Andaman coast
further to the south. The Moken sea gypsies that inhabit the waters of the
Mergui Archipelago are all safe,
despite press statements to the contrary.
WATCH THIS SITE FOR THE REAL NEWS!! JANUARY 27 AS THE ABOVE HAS NOW BEEN LARGELY CONFIRMED BY THE PRESS, THE UN AND NGO's WE WILL BE CLOSING THIS PAGE EARLY FEBRUARY
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONCERN |
