This is Thailand, and I have never seen life guards at most public beaches.

  Maybe in America, or Australia at a busy beach, but this is Thailand.

  I have swam at Kata beach in the Winter and have only had problems with

a few sea critters, lucky not to have been caught in a rip tide. RIP to the Indian 

fellow.
