THAILAND'S tourism boss wants to build the "Universal Studio of tsunamis" simulating how the deadly waves struck and killed hundreds of thousands of people and laying waste to coastlines across southern Asia.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand governor Juthamas Siriwan tested the limits of taste by suggesting the proposed tsunami museum could become a tourist attraction along the lines of a Hollywood theme park.
Visits should be enjoyable and involve a virtual-reality experience of the monster waves hitting last December 26, she said.
"Maybe the next Universal Studio is in Khao Lak," Ms Siriwan said, referring to the devastated resort strip north of Phuket where thousands died, many of them foreign tourists.
