Hired a boat, took us a short distance away from the beach and anchored off an island for swimming/jet skiing. The whole time I swam, my skin was irritated, like many pin pricks on my skin. Was told it was sea lice. It wasn't really painful, but after 10-15 minutes it was getting more irritating, so I got out and never went back in, or to Samui. Recall similar experience in Phuket and once in Mazatlan, Mexico but didn't know what it was at the time. http://www.nola.com/health/index.ssf/2016/06/sea_lice_florida_coast.html Those irritating small "stingers" are only around at certain times of the year, sometimes, January from my experience not on all beaches.
