More would call this your usual BS. There are plenty of patrolled beaches, but if every beach in the world where tourists swim was patrolled, there would be nobody left to become a tourist. Can't you resist anti-Thai for just one day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you fail this task you're dead - so what's the problem? Edited August 15, 2016 by thurien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiSePuede419 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) I was just on the beach on Long Island, NY a couple of weeks ago. Thousands of happy people from all over the world. Speaking many different languages. A lifeguard ever 30 meters. Everyone was safe. No deaths. Why on earth would a "swimmer" go to a Third World country and think "swimming" on a beach with no lifeguards is "safe"? Go to the beach. Get wet. GET OUT OF THE WATER AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. Duh. 555+ Edited August 15, 2016 by SiSePuede419 Additional info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 The Policeman there Capt Rod Manthong is surely working overtime. I watched a Thai news expose a few years back. It seems on one beach. The locals remove the rip tide warning signs so they can still sell food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timendres Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 30 Million Tourists per year. 1 in a Million chance tragic event. 30 tragedies a year. It is simply the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on Mae Ramphung and rips have been pretty bad the last 2-3 weeks..., considerably more so in last few days. Lost a pair of Maui Jim Crushers taking a dip last weekend, the result of a quick pull on ankles in tandem with a wave over my head. Just enough time to lose them. Guessing they're closer to Hua Hin by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waighty Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 To Rancid. Agree 100% . Even with signage in Australia we still lose people. But every little but helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
