Jellyfish Swarm Blankets Pattaya Beach, Startles Tourists

Over 100,000 jellyfish washed up along Pattaya Beach on June 16, startling tourists and stretching across 3 kilometres. The invasion, mainly of moon jellyfish, caused concern due to strong odours and sting risks. While officials haven’t confirmed the cause, similar events in the past were linked to storms and tides. Locals are urging immediate cleanup to avoid harming tourism. Authorities advise using vinegar for stings and warn beachgoers to remain cautious.
