Ever since we moved here in 2012 we've been watching them re-building Pak Nam Pran after some sort of storm. I was amazed when I came across this photo in a Thai newspaper today, showing all of the good work, wrecked. I love to drive along that stretch of coast, and now it's ruined again.
Incredible the actual damage done up and down our coast for what seemed little more than a strong breeze. I doubt I live more than a mile from the sea, and didn't really notice.

Its the ocean doing its thing, every few years the high tides and current sucks all the sand back out to sea and deposits it elsewhere. They don't seem to plan for such things here.

Re: Pak Nam Pran Wrecked
Building a good seawall is quite a daunting project. At least 2 + meters below the top of the sand, Extremely thick with a curve and a rough surface to break up the shock of the waves hitting it. Costly projects and haven't seen but few walls meet that criteria. All the others fail and break apart this time of the year when the tide is high and storms stir up the sea.
