webfact Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Pattaya — Foreign tourists continued to bask in the sun and enjoy the beaches of Pattaya despite shockingly high temperatures on March 6th, 2024. Despite the extreme heat, which significantly impacted the daily lives of Thai residents, many international visitors still sunbathed on Pattaya area Beaches, according to Thai local media. Tourists were observed relaxing on Pattaya’s beaches and engaged in water activities like normal. Some people opted to relax under beach umbrellas, enjoying seafood in the shade. This, according to local media, solidified that Pattaya’s picturesque coastline, which stretches over 3 kilometers, continues to be a magnet for international tourists, despite the scorching weather.

Popular Post flyingtlger Posted March 7 Popular Post Share Posted March 7 If you're from the cold climates, I understand. I have lived by the beach or the ocean all my life, I will use a lot of sunscreen when I do go fishing, swimming or surfing but I usually try to avoid the sun as much as possible. Everything I've seen and read, the damage sun can do to your skin is not good. Yes, you can get vitamin D from the sun and it's important for your circadian rhythm getting sun burned is not healthy.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I had a couple join me in the lift at a hotel, it looked like they had spent the whole day baking in the sun by the pool. Couple of fat little prunes....... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People come not only because of the temples but also because of the beaches. That's also what I told my neighbors when I travelled the first time to Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presnock Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 1 hour ago, ChipButty said: Why? yeah, we are bombarded about the dangers of too much exposure to sun...but, just like exposure to air pollution, since it takes quite a while for the dangers of such exposure, most people I notice just ignore it here in Bangkok/CM too. I seldom see folks wearing good quality masks to cut that pollution some. Regular news reports carried on this forum indicate that last year som 30 million patients were treated for air pollution related ills and so far this year over 650K have been treated by local medical facilities. But, folks continue to ignore those "fat" bodies reports too...latest is over 1 billion obese people...just another drain on the medical facilities and rising costs for health insurance...let the healthy pay for the sick who ignore good health practices in my opinion.

retarius Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Looks like there are very few there soaking up the sun. I can see two occupied sun beds, another possibly occupied, and a few people (about 5) walking. Have I gone blind and cannot see the crowds soaking up the boiling hot sun? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirHonkersTheFirst Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Enjoy the cancer! I stopped being a sun-crazy whitey, and started being a sun-conscious Asian after my first 10 years in Asia. I like my skin melanoma-free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) Meanwhile, Spring Break in Panama City, Florida... But I don't know that I'd want to have to deal with all the condoms in the waste system. Or the VD clinics back at Uni. And here's South Padre, in Texas. Closer to home for me... Oh, to be young and dumb again. 50 or 60 years ago, I'd have driven all day and all night for this.

JimTripper Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) The city seems mostly for people that like to have sex a lot & drink cheap beer a lot. Looks like everybody is having a beer all the time. I was just recently at a cafe having a smoothie. The guy next to me is on his second large bottle of leo beer. I wonder why he has to drink that much beer in the heat and can't enjoy a fruit smoothie or a coffee in the afternoon?? Does he need to be wasted everywhere he goes??

I know how afraid of falls you must be, but look up occasionally, if only to avoid hitting your head on an overhead hanging sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
