Coconut Kidd Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 The wind was blowing very hard at Kamala beach this morning. No way would I have been in the water or on any rock near it. Very sad story, as the Chinese tourists seems to be a gazelle getting a drink from a gator infested watering hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer90210 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Poor girl... I am not familiar with Kamala Beach, but are they no lifeguards on duty in such tourist areas or at most, warning flags when the tides are rough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deli Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) And as long as they don't show just a little bit of common sense, they will continue to drown. Edited July 28, 2017 by Deli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave67 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I don't think they understand how dangerous swimming in the sea can be. It's not a common practice in the Peoples Republic . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
