Rented a bungalow near Ban Chaloklam, went swimming every day until the day that a box jellyfish stung me in the bay. The last 2 people stung by a box jellyfish on KPN died within 10 minutes. I lay on the floor of a beach restaurant with my limbs jerking like a punk rocker dancer while the restaurant owner rubbed vinegar into my skin while we waited for the ambulance. The Thai people watching said to each other 'Look, he will be dead in 5 minutes...' I truly thought that I would die. Happily for me, I did not die. But it put me off being a beachbum on KPN Good to hear the restaurant owner didn't pis*s on you instead, widely thought to help after a jellyfish sting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
