点评:My wife and myself are currently holidaying in Kaolack and earlier today we visited the Tsunami Memorial Park at Ban Nam Khem - one of the worst affected Thai Fishing communities by the 2004/Tsunami.
Although we narrowly missed the 2004 Tsunami (departing Phuket the week before!), and having been in Thailand for the first Anniversary, this was my first visit to Ban Nam Khem. Whilst it was good to see the Memorial Park, it was equally sad to see how many members of the local community are still suffering - in one way or another - from the after effects of the Tsunami!
Important, however, to see both the International Tsunami Museum (Home of the famous Patrol Boat 813 and see my subsequent Review) and the Bang Nam Khem Tsunami Memorial Park to get a better understanding of the scale of death and destruction that took place on Boxing Day 2004. Hopefully, something that won’t be repeated!
翻译:我和妻子目前正在考拉克度假,今天早些时候我们参观了位于班南克海姆的海啸纪念公园 - 2004 年海啸中受灾最严重的泰国渔业社区之一。
虽然我们与 2004 年海啸擦肩而过(前一周离开普吉岛!),并且已经来泰国庆祝了一周年,但这是我第一次参观班南克海姆。虽然参观纪念公园是件好事,但看到当地社区的许多成员仍然以这样或那样的方式遭受海啸的后遗症,同样令人难过!
然而,重要的是要参观国际海啸博物馆(著名的 813 号巡逻艇所在地,请参阅我随后的评论)和班南克海姆海啸纪念公园,以更好地了解 2004 年圣诞节当天发生的死亡和破坏的规模。希望这样的事情不会重演!
