My brother says: One of our clients lost his wife and children. My friend's friend lost his family. One girl I know turned down a position at Le Meridien which was destroyed with almost all the staff being killed. Her hotel in Laguna survived the brunt of it all. THe hotel I was at 3 weeks ago was destroyed and staff killed. Which is sobering. I have one friend who we haven't heard from. He owns a scuba resort in Krabi. Some resorts there were barely touched, others levelled. It is mind numbing.
