Thailand to build tsunami attraction

The Thai government has unveiled plans to build a simulated tsunami attraction in the region worst hit by the disaster to draw tourists back to the area, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

""Authorities would open a tsunami memorial museum complete with a simulated tidal wave in Khao Lak, the region made infamous by post-tsunami photos of bodies and debris floating in the water.

"It would firstly educate everyone who comes to Phuket to make them aware of how these kinds of things happen," Ms Siriwan told reporters at a conference on the island.

A tsunami early warning system based on marine monitoring and SMS warnings would be in place later this month and lifeguards would be installed on all tourist beaches".
