Bodies of victims of the tsunami that hit on Sunday lie on Khao Lak beach, about 900 km (560 miles) south of Bangkok December 28, 2004. Searchers have retrieved 770 bodies, both foreigners and Thais, along the Khao Lak beach north of Thailand's Phuket resort island, a regional disaster official said on Tuesday. The beach in Phang Nga province appears to be the area worst hit in Thailand by Sunday's tidal waves that were triggered by an earthquake. REUTERS/Bazuki Muhammad Pictures of the Month December 2004
