New year's day go to Phuket

After the Indian Ocean tsunami, have always wanted to see Phuket post-disaster situations.

It happens that ctrip Phuket disaster relief Yi held the "shoot", I have five days and three nights of Phuket free line, the departure time is February 9 – new year's day.

The first thing in the morning to Pudong airport, rainy and cold mist, weather special.

Flights to Bangkok Thailand aviation Airbus 300 aircraft was only 50 passengers. Each of us found a long seats, flying to Bangkok for four hours in Yosemite bed sleep. Noon Bangkok airport, and then diverted to Phuket.

From the plane seen Phuket still green valleys, the azure blue sea and stretches of coastline.

However after landing, we found that the tsunami destroyed the ability to really have a very strong. Alba East Beach original coconut trees have been crossed in the dash not so much the seabed sediment, Blackstone is on land, the original gold beach. At the same time in Alba East Beach a great section of coastline, from beach to inland several kilometers of scope should be barren of tsunami impact.

Good in Phuket climate very well, from tsunami to April are non-rainy season.

Thailand government investments to rebuild the entire island of Phuket, everywhere is post-disaster reconstruction of hilarious scenes.

When I arrived at February 9, Phuket, the seaside beach basically have clean, Thai massage service, beach bars, restaurants are starting to resume business, Alba East Beach night market has begun operations.

The growth of most tropical plants, and the sea and lush mountain new wooden Villa more than before the tsunami of chic and beautiful.

Only few visitors, bars, restaurants, hotel resorts.

The few tourists especially in Asia, except Thailand local people basically do not see the human face of Asia. Phuket locals very warmly to our description of past years Winter Beach, very busy at the Grand, accessible from the front this scoff at the scene, I can hardly imagine that year.

Tourists are rare and unique benefits.

You can freely swimming in the sea, you can quietly lying on the beach in the Sun, enjoy a Thai massage at any time. Cleanup after very quiet beach, white sands of the stem, the sea, blue sky. Lying on a beach chair, to a chilled fresh coconut, enjoy an authentic Thai massage, breathing pure air, simply can't imagine here have experienced the terror of the tsunami.

I live in the hotel there is a stretch of private beach, quietly lying on the Beach Chair sees a day book, sleep sleeping, one day on the beach from my eyes of the people will not exceed ten.

Blowing sea breeze, listening to the waves, watching the sun slowly rises and falls, I really intended to leave the remaining time left on this beach.

Because is coincided with the Chinese new year, local Phuket tourism also refer to China's theme of hope to attract more tourists.

Alba East Beach's famous renyao performers dressed in traditional costume in China, in the Ballroom at touting, I live in the hotel industry organized buffet dinner and beach BBQ celebrates Chinese new year.

Big red lanterns of the rise, the vibrations of percussion, firecrackers on the Chinese lion dances and flying lantern in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Phuket seems to have not experienced the tsunami, or those same lively.

Phuket local people do not like to revisit the tsunami disaster, probably in the shadow of their heart left after many years to gradually ease.

Local people are busy building and put their new house built on the hillside. At dusk, we at the beach, or the little square to see men and women, old and young, less dance similar to set the same dance gymnastics. A small tape recorder, a lead dancer in young people, a fast-paced pop music, the attitude of different happily dancing. Is this not optimistic, and progressive people, I believe that Phuket can quickly restore its former beauty.

Before departure from Phuket, I tend to take a sunset on the sea.

Back to Shanghai, I put it as my office computer desktop pictures. Whenever I see this picture, I will remember the calm sea, beautiful islands and the sea, there are also local enthusiasm, optimism of the residents.
