PHUKET: LIfeguards at Nai Harn Beach are urging people to swim only where red-yellow flags have been posted and lifeguards are on patrol after the Southern Meteorological Center today warned of heavy rain and storm weather set to last to Saturday.

“Today, the sky is still clear, but we have about two-metre-high waves. Please enter the water only in the areas between the yellow-red flags, and follow lifeguards’ suggestions,” Nai Harn chief lifeguard Chula Nontree told The Phuket News today (June 8).

“Right now, we do not have many tourists on weekdays, but the beach is quite crowded on days with good weather. I want every person to keep social distance in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” Mr Chula added.
