A German man drowned on KP swimming whilst Red flags were displayed. Chinese tourist drowns @ Koh Nang Yuan .

I heard that part of the problem is that a lot of beaches leave the red flags displayed even when it is safe ... So many just ignore them

Maybe because there is no lifeguards on duty...

If a beach can be dangerous and there is nobody to say it is safe to swim then at least a Yellow flag if not Red.

Maybe a notice in Thai, English & Chinese at 100m intervals on every beach explaining the reason for a red or yellow flag.
