Google "phuket pictures"
and look at the IMAGES, two pictures on the bottom left side of the first page.
OMFG.
All I wanted was to find some beautiful pictures. Instead I get some of the most awful pics I've ever seen. |

Don't be thick.
Of course they are pics of victims of the tsunami.
But why are bloody dead bodies taken by the police available on the internet without any secured entrance?
And why is it on the first page googled of "phuket pictures"? It certainly won't help tourism, and should be petitioned off, but it seems there's enough hits to place it on the first page otherwise. |

i'm not trying to be thick, really. whatever that means. the internet is, in theory, "unsecured." the most popular images pop up. so, i guess, over the past year or so, images of people who lost their lives there have been more prevalent than great dive spots and beaches. it seems more people have been concerned with lives lost than planning "let's sit on the beach and enjoy life" type vacations in the phuket and phi phi areas. |

| I don't think it can be put down to people just searching for loved ones. In Patong there were quite a few photo shops that were selling reprints of photos taken after the Tsunami that were just sick, and they were not photos that were for identifying people. The same idiot tourists bought them that also bought the "I survived the Tsunami" shirts and that were not around for it. |

The genuine efforts of people helping should not be negated by the stupid actions of those who followed. Two different things. Two different issues.
I believe the Anuphas group was sincere in their efforts, helped a lot of people, and did a lot of good.
But, public service does get p*ssed on from time to time - though perhaps unjustly so.
Just my opinion. |

I saw the same pics when I was planning for a trip with my gf. They are pretty sick, but when I saw them I thought most of the foreign guys seemed to have a similar profile. They all looked like a bunch of dead crusty old perverted sex tourists to me. |
