On Dec. 26, 2004, a fissure occurred between the Burma and India plates that caused a 9-plus magnitude earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, in the Indian Ocean. This resulted in massive tsunamis that branched outward to devastate the surrounding coastal areas. One of the worst-hit places was a region of Thailand called Khao Lak, which is dotted with both charming villages and seaside resorts. In all, an estimated 230,000–285,000 people died in the catastrophe.
