Foreign Tourists Soak Up the Sun Despite Scorching Temperatures in Pattaya

[webfact]

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.

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....

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.......

[Rampant Rabbit]

"shockingly high"  gasp .............never  ending shocks in  all reporting  these  days, werent there any offended  netizens?

[ezzra]

Just wondering how many remember to protect themselves against sun burn and skin damage...

(my guess, not many)...

One of the three things they come here for... not including temples.

Somebody should educate these people about the dangers of excessive sun exposure and skin cancer.

Yeah, sure.

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.

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.

I see many Falang driving around on M/C here no shirts, just shorts and shoes. 

[retarius]

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?

I highly recommend YouTube to watch old Saturday Night Live skits with Debbie Downer. 
You will def relate to her.

5 people in sun, 200 under the shade.

[newnative]

Beach looks nice and clean.

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.

Indeed. I'm enjoying the Russian hotties in their thongs.

[impulse]

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.

That must be so much fun. !

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.
