What resort areas in Asia are still functioning after the tsunami?
Which ones are not functioning as resorts?

Dear drrudnicki-ga;

Thank you for allowing me to answer your interesting question.

Here is a very well done and fairly comprehensive list regarding the
status of hotels and resorts in the areas hardest hit by the recent
tsunami. The list is complete with links and is updated frequently to
reflect each resort's progress:

Here are some maps from the same source that may help you identify
where some of these resorts are located:

Here is a frequently updated status report on the hotels and resorts
in the area as they struggle to resume business and promote their
venues:

Here is a very broad status report for many of the affected areas.
This will give you some idea as to how long some of the areas will be
under reconstruction before they are capable of accommodating the
tourism expectations as they did prior to the tsunami.

Finally, here is a report in the notable non-resort beaches, including
a list of those that were unaffected in Southern Thailand and the
current status of those that were:
