Beachgoers in Phuket are on alert as the notorious Portuguese man o’ war, commonly known as the bluebottle, has been sighted at Mai Khao Beach. This news, confirmed by the Phuket Lifeguard Service on October 27, prompts immediate caution for tourists and locals enjoying the beach.

 

The bluebottle is a recurrent visitor during the southwest monsoon season, spanning from May to October. Just last month, 40 of these stinging creatures washed ashore at nearby Patong Beach, alerting marine biologists to the potential risks.

 

Tourists are advised that a bluebottle sting can result in severe pain and welts akin to lash marks. The recommended first aid includes rinsing the area with seawater and treating it with hot water or a cold pack for 20 minutes. Notably, vinegar should be avoided as it can exacerbate the sting.

 

In response, the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources has distributed warning leaflets, while lifeguards remain vigilant, ready to administer first aid for jellyfish stings and monitor the tides closely.

 

Previously, the lifeguards had their hands full, rescuing swimmers from dangerous rip currents and addressing various medical situations such as cuts from shells and other injuries.

 

Beachgoers are encouraged to heed warnings and stay informed about beach conditions to safely enjoy Phuket’s sandy shores. The Phuket Lifeguard Service continues to patrol the beaches, committed to the safety of all visitors while keeping a watchful eye on potential marine threats.
