26 DECEMBER 2014 - PATONG, PHUKET, THAILAND: A Thai boy lights a candle at the beginning of the candle light service to memorialize the 2004 tsunami on Patong Beach in Patong, Phuket. Hundreds of people died in Patong and nearly 5400 people died on Thailand's Andaman during the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami that was spawned by an undersea earthquake off the Indonesian coast on Dec 26, 2004. In Thailand, many of the dead were tourists from Europe. More than 250,000 people were killed throughout the region, from Thailand to Kenya. There are memorial services across the Thai Andaman coast this weekend. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
