Abstract

The tsunami affected six provinces in southern Thailand located along the coastlines of the Andaman Sea: Phuket, Krabi, Sathun, Ranong, Trang, and the hardest hit province of Phang Nga. Three groups have been identified among the people affected by the tsunami in Thailand: (1) residents of the six affected provinces: fisherfolk, mainly Muslim; sea-gypsy communities; employees and owners of tourist businesses and hotels; small-scale business groups and hawkers on the beaches and agriculturists; (2) non-residents of the affected provinces: tourists, both Thai and foreign, migrant workers from various parts of Thailand and from the neighbouring countries, mainly Burmese migrant workers; and (3) workers in the service sector, now unemployed due to suspended businesses.
