Tsunami hit Thailand Hotels Overview

Many hotels on Thailand's west coast have been badly affected by the devastating Tsunami waves that struck shores Sunday morning.

Below is a complete update, received from a concerned hotel General Manager, of many of the hotels in the areas worst affected. It is important to remember that hotels on Thailand's East coast on the Gulf of Siam have not been affected, so hotels on Koh Samui, in Hua Hin, Cha-Am, Pattaya etc are all  functioning as normal without any affects caused by the Tsunami. As the situation with regards to the status of hotels in Thailand is constantly changing we suggest travellers or concerned parties to call hotels directly to check the current status.
