| | 2005 in Patong Beach on Phuket Island, Thailand. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | It seems that the larger properties along the beach, such as the Holiday Inn, The Merlin, Meridien, Cabana, and others that sustained damage, are using this period of time not only to recover and rebuild, but also to upgrade and improve their locations. |
 | | Early on, one of the amazing events was "Light Up Patong," where tens of thousands of candles were set in hollows in the sand on the beach, and lit at dusk, illuminating the entire beach front. |
 | | The far south end of the beach, as well as Kalim Bay to the north, sustained similar damage, and it is amazing to watch the speed and pace of the current renovation and construction, again, better than ever. |
