may they all rest in peace

[mybags]

My heart goes out to King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Queen Sirikit, and Princess Ubolratana at this time. It is devastating to see such destruction and death. Bhumi was only 21. So young. May he rest in peace.

It is an awful tragedy. I have neighbours who're currently in Phuket. They phoned yesterday, though and said they were fine.

It's just horrible that nobody was warned about it.

This is terrible tragedy. My sympathies go out to the Thai Royal family as well as all the families affected by this tragedy. May all their souls rest in peace.

My heart goes out to the people of Thailand for their misery and loss. God bless you!

[Ianna]

My sympathies go to everyone who have suffered in this horrible disaster..

Just to mention, HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn helped Croatian diplomacy in solving the case of missing Croatian girl. Unfortunately, little 3 year old was found dead and she is the first identified Croatian victim. There is 39 more people for which Croatian organisations don't have any information.

I read somewhere in the last few days, that the Prince was in a way handi-capped by autism?
Would that have worsened an already worse situation?

[MoonlightRhapsody]

The death toll is staggering...80,000 people and counting. Unfortunately, it's something people who live in that corner of the world have to be constantly on alert for. I lived in the Philippines and I still have family there. It's extremely dangerous being in the Ring of Fire and you have to be always aware of the world around you.

My sincerest condolences to all the families who have lost loved ones. So many lives cut short.

[Reina]

My condolences to the family and esp. to the mother. What a tragedy...:(
