Relatives of tsunami victims commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Boxing Day Tsunami in the southern coastal province of Phang Nga.

In the morning of Dec 26, 2004, a 9.3-magnitude earthquake off Indonesia's western coast generated a series of massive waves that killed more than 220,000 people across 14 countries around the Indian Ocean.

The disaster killed some 5,000 people in Thailand, many of them foreigners vacationing in the area. Germans and Swedish nationals were among the highest of the foreign death toll. — Patipat Janthong
