On December 26, 2004, seismic ocean waves, known as "Tsunamis", hit the shores of the six resort provinces along the Andaman sea in Southern Thailand. In Thailand the waves killed 5,395 people, half of these numbers were foreigners. In all the countries surrounding the Indian Ocean, the death toll reached over 280,000. The tsunami disaster shocked the world.
The Government of Thailand has selected a site in the Khao Lak - Lamru National Park in Phangnga Province, on the hardest hit area in Thailand, to build a Tsunami Memorial as a permanent tribute to those who lost their lives.
The Tsunami Memorial will be created through a two-stage international design competition. Stage I is conceptual design which is open to professional architects, designers, artists and laypersons. A jury consisting of prominent design professional from Thailand and other countries will select finalists, who will then be invited to further develop their concept in Stage II of the competition. A second jury will review these designs and recommend the best design for submitting to the Government of Thailand in May 2006.
