The Dangers of the Monsoon Season

Surin Beach, Phuket, Thailand - Monsoon Season

This photo was taken in July during the south west monsoon that affects Thailand during this period. Signs and red flags indicate that it is not safe to swim during this time but you can see that people still ignore the warnings. In the week that this photo was taken at least 4 people drowned on Phuket - 2 on Patong Beach, 1 on Bang Tao Beach and 1 on Nai Harn Beach. PLEASE heed the warnings if you go to Phuket during this period.
