Thailand prepares to mark the tenth anniversary of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the deadliest on record. The disaster killed at least 226,000 people in 13 Asian and African countries. In Thailand more than 5,300 people were killed, including several thousand foreign tourists, when the waves swamped six coastal provinces, turning some of the world's most beautiful beaches into mass graves.
Reuters photographer Damir Sagolj took these photos on Dec 12-16, 2014, as Thailand prepared to mark the 10-year-anniverary of the disaster.
