Digesting sewage offshore Pattaya will not help

Perhaps main function of lifeguards is to retrieve bodies of the drowned.

My experience over the years of observing them is that they spend their time together in groups of 4-5, looking at smart phones, rarely looking towards the sea. Keeping a vigilant watch towards the sea doesn't seem to be in job description

When lifeguards realized it was Dave the dog-cafe Brit they tossed him back in.
