Admittedly Hua Hin is short on Russian mafia, socially outcast farangs and opportunities to have pudenda shoved in your face while you're trying to have a drink, but aside from that I think it's a nice place!

There was an earthquake in Indonesia on the very same day, though, wasn't there? Which is why I thought it must have been the reason. What you said about the death ratio is very sad and, as you said, my point - the death toll in numbers is low compared to 2004, but the effect on such tightly-knit communities is enormous. Thanks for reading and my thoughts stay with you and yours in Samoa. Thanks for the feedback, Rob. There was an earthquake in Indonesia on the very same day, though, wasn’t there?

Agree with your main comment though.All of us that live here know people who died and the ratio of those killed by this disaster more than 1:1000 Faofao beach fales and all Lalomanu and Saleapaga are totally wiped out and even if some houses left standing all belongings gone Oliver – small correction to your blog regarding the epicentre of the earthquake that caused the Samoa/Tonga tsunamis -I think you will find the epicentre was between Samoa and American Samoa.
