- In the second part of our series on the tsunami in Thailand, we look at the path of the tsunami in the South Andaman Sea. The tsunami here has already weakened considerably, but not enough to become harmless. In this area, it particularly affected the islands of Koh-Phi Phi and Koh-Lanta, which were greatly devastated. On Phi-Phi Island, due to diffraction, the wave achieved significant amplification, which brought significant damage to these islands. Learn more in the video. The video is intended for educational purposes and therefore you will not find explicit and purposeful footage of the destruction here. Thank you for like and subscribing to our channel.

I was on koh lanta beach when the first wave struck. At the 3rd wave I started running. With help of Thai locals made it to the high ground. Didn't understand the whole story till we got back to Bangkok. Terrifying.
That guy laughing at the end was sad. I became more educated about the dangers of tsunamis after 2004. I know if I was there I would have been on the beach fascinated like the rest of those poor souls.
Four Canadian's were lost to the tsunami at Khao Lak, one of them was my 32 yearold nephew. We went to see where he died in 2008 and are going to spend February 2023 in Khao Lak. He considered it the most beautiful part of the world he'd ever seen, we agree.
I’m so sorry you lost your nephew in this way
Hoping you and yours will enjoy meaningful trip and can gain some closure. Safe journey
Such a loss. I just visited Khao Lak 2 weeks ago and visited two tsunami museums there to pay my respects to those who lost their lives
@@laserpulse387 Thanks, we spent the month of Feb there. Such a fantastic holiday
Am so sorry for your loss and for the hundreds and thousands of souls who lost their lives to this terrible natural disaster..we remember you all x
Amazing! I just spent five days in Phi Phi. I didn't see anything reminding the terrible event. 1500 dead is a huge figure for this tiny island.
Yes😢
Great presentation. Gave me a better understanding of the Tsunami. We give our condolences to the families who have lost loved ones.
They were still felt here where I live, which is in Luderitz, Namibia. If you look at a map of the area, you can see a large bay next to the town, that's where it was felt the most. The bay near the entrance is about 70 meters deep, and the whole bay is 10 kilometers long and about 2 kilometers wide on average. Near the entrance the wave was about 50 centimeters high, but when it reached the lower end it was about 1 meter high, doesn't sound like a lot but still. When it reached the lower end of the bay it flowed 2 kilometers from the coast, over the salt pan that extends that distance from the beach. When it reached the road which passes the outer edge of the pan, it went another 100 meters past it.
Was this the Tsunami from 2004, Or a different one, because the tsunami from 2004 affected the Indian Ocean, Namibia which is on the Atlantic ocean would not have been affected
@@WeMayNeverKnow_2005 Actually it was the 2004 Asia tsunami. And yes it did reach us as well. There's an animation on TH-cam that shows how far it spread. Yes, the tsunami did affect the Indian Ocean, but the waves spread into every ocean, some areas like where I live still saw some waves, if they lived along a long deep bay like we do. That bay is 10 kilometers long, about 3 kilometers wide and up to 70 meters deep near the entrance. Those features not only forced a lot of water into it, but also forced it to increase in height dramatically.
If I lived in a tsunami zone I’d become an expert at climbing coconut trees.
In most cases the waves are usually taller than the coconut trees
If you watched the other video's about tsunami's from this channel. You would know you don't stand a chance in any kind of tree located on the coast. The height of the waves is depended on natural barriers for example. So you might get lucky in a tree....but it's a gamble.
or better yet, be an expert in running and PLANNING on where and when to evacuate.

Sorry for the essay I’m just really interested in tsunamis but If the ground starts shaking near the beach, a landslide, or volcano, that is a sign that a tsunami is coming. Move as high up you can. If you have enough time to, get you r family, pets, important things and move as far inland as possible because that is you best bet of survival. Tsunamis can travel for miles so you have to be quick. While still far back, tsunamis can travel of speeds up to 600 mph and could go faster than a jet. The waves usually start off small and increase in size with time so even though being at the ocean is a lot of fun, don’t try to ride the huge waves because even normal big waves cost people’s life. If your caught in a huge tsunami (which is extremely unlikely since the giant ones are so rare) try to find an object to protect yourself since you will die from getting hit by too many things in the water. If your stuck in one try to latch onto a tree and hold on tight. Tsunamis pull drain back into the water and pull everything with it once it dies down so don’t go back in any time soon. Tsunamis ate practically unstoppable so don’t save your house, save yourself family and others. Tsunamis are very rarely big so I wouldn’t worry too much about them, but be careful if you live in an area prone to tsunamis. I hope you are never caught in a tsunami and have a great day. Sorry again for the essay!
It is a good day when TOP Topics uploads!
Sjajan video i mnogo potresan! Turiste ne moze nista zaustaviti, oni su najbrojnija svetska sekta.
I find these fascinating, both the videos and that you are teaching us so much about these powerful waves. Thanks!
Thank you for the Video and your accent is WONDERFUL! ❤
I'm always happy to see a new posting from TOP Topics.
This one was very good, as ever.
Videos posted of the waves hitting the Racha Resort that were posted many many years ago, included a comment from the person who posted them saying that someone had managed to alert the staff at the resort, and they had been able to warn people, so the number of deaths wasn't so terrible.
So I was very sad to here that 250 people died nevertheless. I suppose I had been hoping too much for a good news story on that terrible day.
Great video. Thank you.
Great content, very well presented and not too long. Well done and thank you 👍
Great video! Such a beautiful place
I’m currently vacationing in phi phi. I tell ya if you’re on the beach you don’t have a chance
We where there 2 weeks before the tsunami..😢
Thanks for the video. Picture at 11:03 is not Phi Phi. This is Koh Nang Yuan island which is situated near Koh Tao island, Surat Thani, Thailand
Thanks!
Can't wait for malaysia 😮
I really appreciate your use of maps!
You should do a japan tsunami documentary on Ofunato City
yes, the anniversary of the tsunami in Japan is coming up, so you can look forward to videos on this topic soon. ;-)
Le bruit du tsunami est tellement terrible aussi.
Wow, do you have any new pics from PHI-PHI?
Such an awesome island it was we stayed in a week in a Bungalow directly on the Beach (1986)
I went there a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, it's a very touristy place. At the entrance Burger King, Macdo... and after a lot of bars and tatoos. Only for young people who want to make party. Not really local anymore
We must not forget that opposite the south of Thailand there are at the bottom of the Andaman Sea 2 Tectonic plates which push each other, this is what happened in 2004 No one can predict when it will happen again
You can imagine this Big Tsunami Happened 2004 it’s 2024 it’s 20 years ago.R.I.P. To All the he Victim in this horrible Disaster.
Thanks...pls do a SRI LANKA .tsunami in Galle city.. Great video..Dev SRI LANKA
Puke it island? dude...
300 people didn't die on Koh Lanta. There were 11 people. You have missed that pipi island accounted for most of those who died in the Krabi region.
you gotta rename your channel to TOP TOPics lol
5:05 “2th” 🤭
I was a small child when this happened. Not even in kindergarten. Found out about it from Soul Surfer. It was a nightmare
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fay fay islands…. Kewt
Honestly biggest kick to my soul 😩😩
Two of my friends (brothers) and their girlfriends were on the island when this happened. One of them even had a newspaper article written on him because he basically saved his and his girlfriends life by smashing down the door to their chalet whilst knee deep in water. The stories he has are awful. Dead bodies, people in hysterics. It's lucky he's made of very stern stuff.
4:05 actually we call "Pee-Pee" island, not Pine-Pine as you pronounced.
The palm trees when the tsunami hit be like forward and backward, normal position again. What?
If the tsunami struck at night, we would be talking about millions of lives lost.
The island "Phi phi" is actually pronounced as Pee pee. And "pang nga" is pronounced and pung like the word stung, and Nga, as a ng sound not a hard G sound.
At 2:06- 2:07ish what is that in the bottom right hand corner? Is it a dog trying to run but tied to something? I'm haunted.
It sure looks like a dog Cynthia. 🥲🐕🦺❤️
@@paulinejackson3227 😭
I think it’s a towel blowing out with the gust of wind
@@juliec4985 that's way better. Thank you.
The part about Phi Phi Island is not right. As seen in the footage of a swedish couple named Widelius (you use it in your video) the landbridge was first flooded from Tonsai Bay and in less than two minutes hit by the bigger wave from Lodahlum Bay. In their TH-cam-Video you can see it in real time. The flee the flooding from Tonsai Bay into the nearby Cabana Hotel and once they are up in the second floor you can see in the video that the more violent other wave has already arrived from the other side. The same is suggested by other whitnesses like the Austrian Haslinger family. They fleed the wave from the Lodahlum Bay by heading to the other side of the landbrige where they were halfway met by the smaller wave from Tonsai Bay which presented itself as a small but rapid flood. A couple of seconds later they were hit from behind by the bigger wave from Lodahlum bay. Besides that I only know about one more wave from Lodahlum bay having about the same size as the first one. (Haslinger report) This second wave came in about ten to nine minutes later. (Haslinger report) It seems to be the one you show in your video with the pool and the pont cause the place is already devastated before this new wave hits. As far as I know this second wave flushed all the trash in the Tonsai bay. So if there was another wave coming from there it must have been a smaller one
Mc Donald's and bk is in the island
ese día tuvieron la oportunidad de resguardarse pero quedaban esperando la ola 🌊 y después no le dió tiempo de escapar los tsunami no son juegos
lots of lifes could be saved if damns schools was teatch correctly about tsunamis, how percept signs, how many time u have to find safe a spot, tsunamis arent a "giant wave" is a massive water mass
Should I be worried about going there😂😂😂
That guy laughing at the end sounds sinister,evil, demonic ,like as if he knows People will die , maybe he's an evil spirit impersonating a human form (shapeshifter)
Being innocent to this kind nature dissaster makes people died.
I mean, the ocean disappeared. Common Sense tells you to run!!!!
it's pronounced pee pee and phu-ket
As a fan of Top Topics I would urge finding a narrator that everyone can understand and sticking with him or her. This narration was too difficult because of the mix as well as the pronunciation so the value is lost. I continue to hope for the best.
English is not my native language and still I find both narrator exilent. Maybe you should try a bit harder.
I speak native English and found the narration to be excellent. I don't want an American or British voice narrating this event, it makes it feel less authentic. Would much rather have a real voice from this area narrating these events.
I found him perfectly understandable.
Ummm I'm American and I understood him PERFECTLY. Perhaps YOU need to LISTEN MORE AND CRITICIZE LESS..😉😉😉😉😁
yes 100 %! I'm American and I understood him PERFECTLY.
1th 2th and 3th 😂😂😂
Oh look huge waves coming our way what we do 🤔 wtf wtf stand and watch. Ahhhhh. !! I dreamt this night before it happens all of it . 250k dead washing machine waters and family walking past me asking where their children are . Still taste the rancid mud and salt water as I post this .

Why? He's not teaching English. Very rude.
@@isking1715 It's not rude. You can't understand 1/2 the fing things he says, he needs to E NUN CI ATE ignoramus
@@lostundgefunden8023 There you go again. AH. Get some self awareness. You are RUDE.
@@isking1715 sure sweetie, let someone have a sub-standard presentation because you're such a sweet person, let me give you some news, YOU'RE NOT. That's pretty clear by your on-line ghetto nastiness.
@@lostundgefunden8023 Me? Sweet? Nope, never be said so you're absolutely right. Ghetto? I'm from a tiny island in the far North of Scotland, mother of 5, wrong side of 50, ghetto? Love, love, love it. Thank you sweetie, you just gave a lot of people huge lols. Never thought straight talking Scot would be considered ghetto 😆 I'm not ghetto and you're not the fucking language police so shut the fuck up, IDIOT.
😅😅😅😅
พากันยืนเบิ่งเสยร่ะบ่อย่านตายจั้กเม็ด
😅😅😅😅
Thankyou for your time and effort in making this video.
Very good visuals and info.
My blood runs cold every time I see the people standing there, looking at the water running away before impact.
