OK ladies and gentlemen. I have got the right page this time.

Check out the paragraph on treatment.

And a good site for the children.

The original post asked a second question that hasn't been answered. What about human effluent from all the sewer pipes in Hua Hin? Does it go straight into the bay without treatment?

Finally I can say something good about Pattaya in that there are no jellyfish at all.

The last 2 times I've been to Pattaya, I had to stop my son going in to the sea because it was alive with jellyfish. Even this is not a selling point for Pattaya

My first time in Thailand I went to Pattaya and took the speed boat to an island can not remember the name now.

There were so many black sea animal which look like the porcupine, let call it sea porcupine under the crytal clear water.

If you careless and step on that thing it'll kill your foot. I was by accident got in that troble, badly bleeding and nothing could compare to that kind of painful.
You have no chance to remove all the tini sharp "thorn" out. The local guys told me to take a Coca cola botle and keep hiting on my foot, as he explained it'll break all the thorn to smaller pieces and it's the only way to cure it. Even the hospital could give you no help.
Finnaly when I got onland again I ask some other guys and they all gave me Coca cola or Beer Chang bottle...

I couldn't walk for the next 2 days ( don't know how come but I still went out chopping!!!)

So becareful

Sounds like a sea urchin. Painful!! I've never seen one around HH. Not sure if I've just been lucky.

Roasting the wife - urinating on the kids - I think the twinning plans with Worthing should be put on hold. Your town makes BKK look like a vicars tea party.

@TT - go away you boring fuck.

Lets keep this one sensible.

TT if you have nothing constructive to say I suggest you find another forum where things are more to your lively tastes.

Ah Worthing well there IS a place !
Was Worthing worth it or should I have visited Gay Brighton ?
When I first went there by steam train there was a load of jelly fish strewn across the stones on the exotic Worthing Beach.

Jelly Fish seem to be a problem in Who-Ar Hin ? I don't think wet suits do great things for the suntan. Take your geiger counter and first ensure that the Jellies are not Radio-Active like the prawns in Skegness where the sea air is so bracing with strontium 90.

In Greece we drink Ouzo to keep off the mosquitos, they do not like the aniseed taste. I think the same would be for the jelly fish?

Drink more Ouzo, if it doesn't work you wont notice the sting after the Ouzo. If you are sick in the water it will make the sea cloudy and that should confuse the little buggers.

I suggest at the first signs of jellies on the horizon we show the Thais how to make Vodka Jelly and have a jelly party !

I have never been to a vicar's tea-party in Edinberg so I can't comment although on the rare occasions I travel north of Hayes(Highbury is akin to Birmingham) I take the Landrover and native barers to carry the rifles.
Watch out for the Rhino on the way to Wigan. King Soloman's Mines and Alan Quatermain, he would have known how to deal with the Jelly Fish?
303's and leather whips. Fire at the blighters !

What!!
Do jellyfish have eyes??
Enlighten me please.

Do jelly fish have eyes ?

You are being literal with my dramatic licence ! Are you American ?

It is doubtful the jelly fish situation can be changed apart from
a constant warning of the dangers. Common sense is needed here?
If you or your kids want to swim use the hotel pool, if you want to swim
in the sea use a destination where there is no jelly fish problem.

Another attempt at humour:-

Beware the Portuguese Man-O-War ! Especially if she is a 'Estrella do Mar' !

In 1658 the Portuguese arrived in Thailand(Siam) bringing with them Chillies. They were astounded by the endemic prostitution there.
Little is new, little ever changes?

I can understand Spanish Nit Noi, but because I have not used it I am forgetting it all just like my Mandarin.

I think it something to do with a big lady from the sea that has some strange powers. (I hope that I am not trying to translate Portugese here.)

Maybe though it is one of those marvellous Spanish expressions that can not be translated into English.

Jaime, I think I need your help here.

No Guess, this could be a case for Horatio.
