Located just west of Takua Pa, south of Ko Kho Khao, and about 30 kilometres north of Khao Lak along Thailand’s Andaman coast, Baan Nam Kem suffered proportionately the worst losses from the tsunami of any town or city in Thailand. A tsunami memorial bearing the names and faces of some of the 3,500 Thais and foreigners who lost their lives in the area was constructed near a stretch of Nam Kem beach in 2006.
