AFP: Surrounded by water, a Buddhist temple is one of the last remnants of a Thai village that has vanished beneath the sea — a scene being repeated across Asia and the world.
Around 60 families have already been forced away from the once idyllic fishing community of Khun Samutchine, as the sea that local people rely on for their livelihood advances inland by more than 20 metres (yards) a year.
“I live on somebody else’s land, I can’t escape the village because I’m too poor,” says Noo Wisuksin, 71, as she points to the spot in the water where her home used to be decades ago.
