Pran Buri sea infested with jellyfish

By Thai PBS

 

 

No-swimming signs have been put up on the beaches in Pran Buri district, Prachuab Khiri Khan, due to the presence of huge number of jellyfish – some of them poisonous – in the sea with some of the tourists being attacked by poisonous jellyfish.

 

A Thai PBS reporter who was at one of the beaches in the compound of the Thao Kosa park, known as Khao Takiab, on Sunday reported many tourists taking rest on the beach with none of them venturing into the sea for fear of the jellyfish.

 

Many big jellyfish were washed ashore by waves and died as many more of various sizes and species, including the poisonous one such as the fire jellyfish, were seen bobbing in the sea.

I guess I wouldn´t swin there without jellyfish.

Happens every year a tonne this time. Nothing unusual, will be gone within a week. Plus it's a bonus for all the Thai fisherman in the area. The sell them to the Japanese. $$

in Hua Hin common at this time of year to see hundreds of 18" diameter jellyfish dead on the beach. I think the poison seawater kills them.  

many jellyfish spawn in river mouths,and head to sea around then end of the monsoon,but it can also be a signal of overfishing,no predators to eat them.

Even without the jellyboys, on looking at the colour of the water, would definately not want to take a dip....pity !!
