Contact Addresses Note On December 26th 2004 a massive earthquake registering 9.0 on the Richter scale struck off the west coast of Indonesia. The quake created a tsunami – a series of huge waves that spread destruction across many parts of Asia and reached as far as the east coast of Africa. Many areas along Thailand’s west coast have been badly affected by the disaster and non-essential travel to these areas – in particular Phuket, Krabi and Khao Lak – is advised against. The infrastructure in these areas has been severely disrupted. Travel elsewhere in Thailand is unaffected. Those wishing to travel to affected areas should check with a relevant tour operator, tourist board or embassy for the latest travel advice prior to travel (see Contact Addresses).
