Lifeguards stationed at Nai Harn Beach today (Sept 19) posted a warning on the Phuket Lifeguard Service Facebook page warning that many, of what they say are Flame jellyfish, have been found on the beach. They have also been found near the rocks at the south end of the beach.
Signs warning tourists of the jellyfish were placed along the beach while lifeguards are continuing to monitor tourists going into the sea.
Lifeguards are prepared to administer first aid should anyone be stung by one of the jellyfish.
On June 18, the Phuket Lifeguard Service issued a warning of an influx of ‘flame jellyfish’ which had already stung beachgoers at beaches on the island’s west coast.
They posted two separate jellyfish sting cases with photos to their Facebook page, one from Bang Tao Beach, the other from Kamala Beach. (See story here.)
