Moon jellyfish wash ashore at Koh Racha Yai — confirmed details at this stage for Phuket readers.
Hundreds of moon jellyfish washed ashore on Koh Racha Yai, south of Phuket, on April 9, according to local marine officials. The sudden appearance of the translucent creatures prompted warnings to tourists and boat operators visiting the island’s popular beaches.
Marine Officials Advise Caution
Phuket’s Department of Marine and Coastal Resources reported that the jellyfish were most concentrated along the eastern shoreline of Koh Racha Yai. Officials said the influx likely resulted from seasonal changes in ocean currents.
The agency urged swimmers to avoid direct contact with the jellyfish, noting that their stings can cause mild skin irritation. Local resorts and tour operators were advised to display warning signs and monitor beach areas for further jellyfish activity.
