Tragic drownings in Phuket claim lives of boy and British tourist 

Another example of the flags on the beach having no impact.

I don't pay any heed to these flags in Phuket, got several times into what I believe was a rip current. I'm a good swimmer but it got exhausting pretty fast when I realized what was going on. I can't see myself dying in a one but someone less prepared - easily.
