7 Time World Surfing Champion Layne Beachley’s Formula For Success

In December 2004, Rebekah Giles made the spontaneous decision to book a holiday to Thailand. After a busy year working as a lawyer, she decided a week on the idyllic Phi Phi Island would be the reset she needed.

But her relaxing break quickly turned into a total nightmare, when the deadliest tsunami in modern history struck. 

20 years on from that horrific day, Rebekah shares her story and reflects on the tragedy.
