A 65 years old Swedish man has drowned in Phuket Thailand on the very dangerous Kata Beach a few min from Patong beach.
Many people have drowned there especially during the low season. The only beach that is bit safer is Patong beach since it shaped horse shoe and stop the big waves.
In Kata and Karon the beach is long and the undercurrent becomes very strong in the low season from Mars to November.
The Swedish man was swimming despite the red flag warned him not to go into the sea.
