Backpackers flock to rebuild Thai party island
Phi Phi, Thailand - Two young British men sit shirtless on a Phi Phi beach, wearing surfer shorts, leather thong necklaces and Indian bracelets -- an iconic image of one of the great party-hard destinations on the hippie-backpacker trail.
They’re also wearing tattered work gloves, though, and are sitting next to a gigantic pile of rubble dragged out of the sea after the unprecedented December 26 tsunami that left almost 228,000 people missing or dead along the Indian Ocean rim.
