Be alert but not alarmed. The Phuket Lifeguard Service are warning swimmers after blue-bottle ‘jellyfish’ that have recently been found on several of the island’s west-coast beaches and spotted along Patong Beach this morning (July 26).

 

“…found some Blue-bottles at Patong Beach and Nai Yang Beach. Swim Safe everyone,” the message reads from the Phuket Lifeguard Service Facebook page.

 

Blue-bottles are also known as Portuguese man o’ war. They are a common occurrence off Phuket’s west coast during the monsoon season. The ‘jellyfish’ are easily broken up by the south-west swell but their little ‘stingers’ still float around the water causing irritation.
