beechbum Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 The round disc like jellys have been getting beached here during the wet season for a very long time, the lifeguard must be either, new, blind or or due to currents they just don't get them up there? Have seen, Nai Harn, both Kata's and Karon shore lines covered in them at different times during previous wet seasons, have paddled through and surfed in the water with them and never been stung by that species.

Bang Tao Beach gets millions of fish egg sacs washed up periodically. The are small and look like jellies. Could it be that is what you are seeing ?
