I walked the length of Jomtien Beach just about and there seems to be strange folk here and strange goings on . I think most of them are eastern European and there are definitely a lot of Russians. I’ve never seen so many  fat people on a beach before being loud and proud of their considerable bulk.  I was quite fascinated by them and found myself staring, mesmerised really, watching the fat wobble about when they lumbered across the sand. The stomachs of some seemed to defy gravity and looked really solid. They didn’t sag like some I saw, you know when the knees get covered. These ones would over hang from the body a good foot or more and were completely unsupported. Mind you if it was a building it would be condemned.

They stood around in groups of around two or three and sometimes there would be one on its own. But the other odd behaviour I witnessed was the way they stood with fingers spread and arms about 25° from the side of the body, there legs were also apart and it looked like legs and arms are in perfect symmetry. Their palms would be facing back and of course their bodies were oriented towards the sun. I tried to get a picture of this but it was too difficult so I hope you can understand what I’m trying to describe. A few stood very close to the water but when a small wave would approach they ran up the beach a little to get away from it.

Further along the beach I saw a similar behaviour from skinny folk.There was one guy that looked anorexic with a bald head,  he looked scary. So let’s say over a kilometer on the beach there are people standing in unison all with the strange pose and angled towards the sun just like the flowers do. Some fat and some thin and I bet you not an SPF in sight.
I might have stumbled across a cult like society or maybe they’re just fuckin weird.I’ve had a thought, maybe I could develop a platform they can either lie or stand on and it can track the sun automatically. They would be left free to either read and of course think even less. The angle the sun would strike them at would always be optimised for the best coverage. Something like a spit roast might also be an option. Instead of deck chairs we could adapt a spit rotisserie to clamp them in place for either horizontal or vertical use.

I visited Crosby beach in Merseyside UK this year and you will see statues staring out to sea and some are even in it.

Maybe this is where they have taken their inspiration from.
