alien365 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Does anyone have details on the dangerous and non dangerous Jellyfish in Thai waters? I was at Bang Saphan this weekend and there were loads of small Jellyfish floating around (10cm diameter), some transparent, others with brown and yellow spots. Whenever I search the net I only find information on box and Man-of-war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be daft, this is Thailand not some namby-pamby nanny state that requires stickers to warn that a kettle gets hot! What ever happened to people using their eyes and plain common sense.

What ever happened to people using their eyes and plain common sense. Complete foolishness. Lets remove all warning signs of sny kind of danger then. What need for road signs warning of dangerous curves? Why post about dangerous riptides? Everybody should just automatically and magically be aware of every hazard according to your logic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
