Thailand: life is back again slowly

Even if a lot of shops or hotels are seriously damaged, life is back again in Kata, Phuket island.
My father in law, like many Irish men, is not  a great swimmer, and the recent events have now stop him to approach any pool or sea.
My mother in law, Anita Whooley, who follow the events here for Ireland, was with the Irish ambassador in Krabi yesterday. The situation there is very serious and she had to see a lot of body bags.
I helped yesterday cleaning around a resort, and we had to stop quickly after one of the guy on my left discovered a body, under some debris. Hard and shocking, when you are not used to that.
Anyway as I said in this post title, life is back again, I was today enjoying my first swim with my wife in the Hilton pool since the events, and as many here, we will be at the beach tomorrow.
My thoughts are also for Leo, still looking for his wife, and for Barry Murphy, having his girlfriend missing, and there to help other tracing their relatives.
