Following the Asian tsunami in December 2004, the ammonium-nitrogen concentration in the surface water in Ranong province ranged from 8.45–14.08 µM, while in Phang Nga area, it was between 9.99 and 25.11 µM. Mean sea surface temperatures in Ranong and Phang Nga were 30.6 0.4 °C during ± the dry season. The growth rate of Acropora spp. in Chong Khat bay, Surin Marine National Park, was 1.0 cm/month during the first 5 months after the tsunami. After this five-month period, corals, especially Acropora spp., showed signs of recovery but then faced extensive bleaching in May 2005. Three years after the tsunami, the coral reefs in deep water areas could grow and recover rapidly although they faced serious bleaching while coral reefs in the shallower waters were in a poor condition after serious bleaching in May 2005.
