Warning of Jellyfish Spread at Popular Tourist Sites in Trang
Picture courtesy of National Parks Department. A warning has been issued after toxic jellyfish were discovered in popular tourist destinations across Trang province. The National Park of Hat Chao Mai has announced that the venomous jellyfish have spread across several key locations including Koh Kradan, Koh Mook (Emerald Cave), Koh Meng, and Yong Ling Beach, all well-known coastal attractions in the area. The jellyfish species identified as Pelagia sp., are commonly referred to as fire jellyfish. Officials from the Southern Andaman Sea Marine and Coastal Resources Research Centre (SAC) have collected samples from the affected areas. Tourists and the general public are advised to avoid swimming in areas where the jellyfish have been spotted and not to touch the creatures. If stung, individuals may experience a burning or stinging sensation, though the sting is not life-threatening. To alleviate symptoms, it is recommended to rinse the sting area with vinegar for at least 30 seconds. Should symptoms persist or worsen, medical attention should be sought immediately. Local authorities are urging visitors to stay cautious as they continue to monitor the situation. -- 2025-02-14 -

Nigerian Arrested in Thalang for Selling Cocaine to Tourists
Picture courtesy: The Phuket Express Phuket Immigration authorities apprehended a Nigerian national on Thursday, February 13th, in Thalang. The suspect, known only as Mr. Johnpaul, aged 37, was detained at a rented property in Thep Krasattri with a possession of 7.2 grams of cocaine. This arrest is part of ongoing efforts to curb drug trafficking in popular tourist areas. Mr. Johnpaul confessed to purchasing the cocaine from an unidentified foreign individual in Bang Tao, Cherng Talay. He reportedly acquired the drugs at a cost of around 2,000 Thai Baht per bag, with a total transaction covering 12 bags. He admitted to already having sold some of the narcotics to foreign tourists for approximately 3,000 Thai Baht per bag, hinting at a network supplying these illegal substances to the island's visitor population. The arrest comes amid heightened scrutiny and enhanced law enforcement actions in Phuket, aimed at dismantling drug networks that have become increasingly brazen. Recognised for its beautiful beaches and vibrant nightlife, Phuket attracts millions of tourists annually, making it a lucrative market for illegal drug operations. As a result, authorities are intensifying surveillance and investigations to maintain the island's reputation as a safe tourist destination. After the arrest, Mr. Johnpaul was taken to the Thalang Police Station, where he is facing charges related to the illegal possession of category 2 drugs with an intent to sell. Law enforcement officials are scrutinising his claims of being unable to identify his supplier, with efforts underway to trace and eliminate higher levels of this drug network, reported The Phuket Express. Authorities assert that significant steps are being taken to identify and capture larger criminal syndicates responsible for drug trafficking in the region. The police are urging both locals and tourists to report any suspicious activity, promising anonymity and protection to whistle-blowers. The clampdown in Thalang serves as a stark reminder of the relentless pursuit of law enforcement officials to maintain a zero-tolerance policy on drugs. It reflects a broader strategy to protect Phuket's allure, ensuring it remains a haven for peaceful holidays rather than a hotspot for illicit activities. -- 2025-02-14
