one  needs  another

Let us lay a WREATH close to the Andaman Sea, to remember our lost sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers...

Welcome to this HEDGE open for every one, for all we believed, we pray for a better world...

Thanks to all the people who gave us generous rescue. Please hold my hands, to build a human FENCE. After all, we all need one or another.

a living memorial

To minimize the visual impact on this prominent tropical forest, we have limited the site within a 56m-diameter. 12 mini towers ling on each other and embrace a tranquil platform polished from the rocky land. Inside this outdoor forum, visitors can rest, worship and hold events. Inside those towers, people  visit the museum, attend lectures and pray for their believes. Standing on the tops, one can overview the park, the sea and the beach. This is a memorial not only for commemoration of the disaster, but also for giving hopes to the livings and to our future generations.
