Box Jellyfish Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines & The Region

Langkawi's popular Pantai Cenang was the site for a horrible box jellyfish death this year plus innumerable jellyfish stings including dozens inflicted by highly dangerous Irukandji that were serious enough to require hospitalisation with lingering painful affects.

This is a late post. At least it's not a premature post. The newspapers that carried this story helped light home fires across freezing Sweden weeks ago. Frozen Swedes were booked en masse for winter vacations south to Thailand and Malaysia, almost 10% of the population, that's a lot of newspapers and nightly TV News ratings. This sensational story lingers in the minds of Swedes which is probably not a bad a thing but the problem is, it may not have happened.
