webfact Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Red flags fly on Hua Hin beach warning against swimming in the sea HUA HIN: -- Red flags were flown on Thursday on Hua Hin beach by hotels and resorts warning tourists against swimming in the sea due to high waves, strong winds and high tide. Winds were stronger than yesterday and will remain so for the next couple of days as cyclone is forming south of Tonkin Bay off Vietnam, according to the Weatherman, its epic centre is slowly moving toward the Gulf of Thailand.

JustNo Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 how many people really know what a red flag means at a beach, and furthermore will notice it? They should put up signs in the sand or something, but one would imagine people should have common sense to look at the sea and conclude 'na I think I'll stay out today' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry The Bull Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I hope no one will ignore the red flags, no more drownings for nothing, life is so short anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfx Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Now I know what those red flags were for I saw every now and then in my year living in HH. There were a few drownings whilst I was there, and it was certainly surprising on our move to Da Nang, Vietnam to see actual Lifeguards patrolling the beach in large numbers. Not sure if they can actually swim or not but they take the job half serious and there is plenty of whistle blowing. Just think of the parking attendants at Market Village. They even have designated swimming areas etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhythmworx Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Flags are useless in this situation, the strategy that needs adopting is to put some fake plastic sharks in the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 How about the wind surfing crowd? Did anyone see some of them out in the waves? I hope the ocean level goes down a bit by mid January. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
