PHUKET:-- Lifeguards have warned Phuket beachgoers to be wary of ‘Portuguese Men of War’, poisonous siphonophores that deliver a painful sting if touched. 

“One of our lifeguards spotted a Portuguese Man of War on the beach yesterday. This is not the first one we have found during this monsoon season – several of them have been seen on Phuket beaches already,” Phuket Lifeguard Club President Prathaiyuth Chuayuan told the Phuket Gazette. 

“It’s normal for these kinds of species to wash ashore due to strong winds and waves during the monsoon season. Please do not panic, but be aware of your surroundings,” he added.
