Thailand is a masterfully beautiful place.  Ko Phi Phi Don island was devestated by the 2004 Tsunami.   With the advancements in Thailand's new disaster alert system no one person should be afraid to visit the beauty in Thailand.  Ko Phi Phi Don is a great example of how a place that has experienced a devastating disaster can be restored to the beauty that it once was.  The restoration took a few years to be completed with help from the government and other organizations.  This beautiful island is just one of many beautiful places to visit in Thailand despite the danger of another Tsunami.
