It's not difficult to see how non-swimmers could get in trouble at Karon at the moment.

People say there is no surf in Thailand!

Good picture that.you can see that the waves breaking in the foreground and the 2nd wave breaking in the middle of the pic there is probably a under current or rip tide going out.just the sort of spot some idiot picks to go in as it's not got big crashing waves.

There's a couple of semi permanent rips there and the tourists flock into them thinking they are calmer.
