Trat beaches prepare for tourists seeking multi-coloured jellyfish

Local fishermen in beach communities in Trat’s Mueang district are gearing up for the return of tourists in search of the multi-coloured moon jellyfish.

With the heavy rains ending and the seawater becoming clearer, the jellyfish become visible. Already, some jellyfish have been sighted in the shallow seas off the beach at Ban Klong Son village in Tambon Laem Klad of Mueang district.
Local fisherman Apichai Wongthong, 42, said the village is ready for an influx of tourists, who pay Bt100 each to view the jellyfish from a boat.
Each boat can hold four tourists. Children travel for free, he said.
