Dangerous Seas

A Thai lady drowned off Karon Beach yesterday. That's the 3rd person to drown off Karon Beach in 3 weeks and there have been a number of other close calls. The seas are extremely dangerous and deceptive; you can get caught in a current as little as 20 yards from the shore. It's futile to swim against one of these currents. If you get caught in a current pulling you from the shore you've got to have the presence of mind to swim parallel to the shore till you're free of the current. Please be very careful if you're going in the sea and please warn anyone you know who's going to the beach.
