News Report describing the damage at the Similan Beach and Spa Resort after the December 2004 tsunami. The article was found on www.USAToday.com

Near the devastated Similan Beach and Spa Resort, where mostly German tourists were staying, a naked corpse hung suspended from a tree Tuesday as if crucified.
