The sea off Karon beach is no joke, with much stronger currents than e.g. Kata. There is a more or less constant number of casualties there each year.

Read the link, this man has now been identified. Apparently a guest at Centara.

Yet another Chinese drowning death.

I was at at the beach yesterday in Rayong and went for a swim. The pull of the waves are strong. Not a wonder those that can't swim succumb to the water.

yeah, it's dangerous to swim in these days. Everywhere Cinese. Some are even speechless. Anyway RIP
