In an extraordinary natural event, jelly blubbers, a species of jellyfish, have reappeared in a river in southern Thailand after being absent for over three years.
Aerial photos capture the mesmerizing sight of countless jelly blubbers, typically found in the sea, now floating in the Khlong Bang Rieng River.
This rare occurrence is attributed to occasional inflows of seawater from the Gulf of Thailand. Join a unique environmental activity where volunteers kayak amidst the jelly blubbers, collecting plastic waste and garbage from the river.
Don't miss the opportunity to witness this incredible phenomenon up close, but beware of jellyfish stings. Although the jelly blubbers' sting is generally not harmful to humans, caution is advised while swimming in the sea due to the presence of more dangerous jellyfish species.
Learn about venomous jellyfish stings in Thailand and stay informed about the latest environmental news in the region.
