I've also seen reports on LOAN sharks 555, they have a much bigger bite, like a Grey White

That would be a great white 5555

No worries. Sharks aren't overly fussy. They will eat anything if they are hungry.

" I see recent reports of bull sharks at Hua Hin "

 

Yes, there have been quite a few bull sharks in the Chumpon Pinnacle area also, for many years already.

 

And there are of course the usual reefsharks, leopard sharks, bamboo sharks, and whale sharks as well. I also recall reading somewhere about a tiger shark in Thai waters, but have never seen one or encountered somebody who has.

And not all sharks are dangerous...

 

Have a few pics I took of a shark sleeping under coral.  

There a thousands of loan sharks in Thailand. Be careful😳

Of course there are sharks. The world's oceans are all joined. There are no borders. Sharks don't need visas. They don't even have passports. 😂

How do you know, have you ever asked one? 

shh... you'll scare the tourist away...

... this is probably not a photo of a shark I saw off Phuket/Phi Phi @ Shark Point 

 

One whole wimpy A$$ shark at a place called 'Shark Point' .. world class diving 

 

 

 

 

There aren't many sharks around Thailand, certainly large ones and aggressive species rare...I suspect because they had been over fished.... but by all accounts making a comeback here and there. Usually small reef sharks that bit someone accidentally over the last few years and authorities always quick to pass it off as some other mishap (misunderstanding?)

So you are used to being wrong?

There are actually a number of species. I've see blacktips a few times, and a leopard shark while diving. There's a full list that notes spcies, location and history of attacks here: https://www.thethailandlife.com/sharks-thailand

 

Don't be worried though; incidents are rare.

I saw some type of basking shark when sailing of the west coast of Thailand some years ago.Huge bugger.
