PHUKET: -- Lifeguards have repeated their warning for swimmers to obey the red “No Swimming” warning flags after a foreign couple were rescued from dangerous waves at Patong Beach yesterday (Aug 6).

 

The tourists reportedly ignored red flags posted along the beach.

 

“Patong lifeguards just rescued a man from a rip current. This is what happens when you do not listen to lifeguards,” the Phuket Lifeguard service posted on their Facebook page yesterday.

If they don't have the intelligence to heed the red flag warnings not to swim, then they are too stupid to be in the human gene pool.  Let them drown.

I wouldn't even expect Thailand to have a system where they warn people for dangers.

Once i saw a lifeguard on karon beach but he was asleep in his elevated chair.

Best you employ many more lifeguards if you want the idiots to all be given a personal warning and instruction about the meaning of red flags.
