Deals with the restoration of Tsunami-hit communities of the fisherman village in southern provinces. Mentions a network of civil groups and credibility with the provincial authority together with non-governmental organizations to help with the restoration as the network encourages communities to identify their own needs, draw up their own restoration plans and manage them as a group in a transparent manner instead of the state top-down and uniform aid programmes and the compensation money which will be soon gone. Confirms that the communities really benefit from self-help initiatives and the money problem can be overcome, referring to the alliance between the NGOs and the business which supports people's empowerment. Mentions the need of boat repairing and long-term help, including the conservation of Andaman sea and the needs for community shipyards and community dockyards. Cites the interview of a scholar, Nidhi Eowseewong and Michelin Siam president, Prayong Hirunyawanich.
