Re: Warning: Boy Badly Blistered by Jellyfish at Kep Beach
Looks like a Box jellyfish sting to me, lucky it was only on his arm if was across his abdomen and chest as well he could have gone into cardiac arrest.
We have "stinger net" swimming enclosures on the beaches here in North QLD from November to May due to the high numbers that swim along the shallow warm coastal waters, The box jelly fish are actually a purposeful swimmer unlike most jellyfish that just float where the currents take them.
The most dangerous marine stingers found in Queensland waters are the Box Jellyfish and Irukandji Jellyfish.

That's a blubber jelly.
It knows it's own.
Hope you pissed on yourself quickly?

I sent the pictures to a friend who is Director of the Tropical Stinger Research Unit in Cairns Australia
He said it was a box jellyfish without doubt.
“ It will be Chironex sp. Some debate about the species in that area as no one has really done the work on it.”
Certainly very painful and potentially life threatening

Ouch! Jellyfish attack.
Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): According to a Facebook post by Sreymom Meng, she said that she was stung by jellyfish while swimming in the sea during the holidays on April 15, 2022.
The victim's daughter, Ma Ny, said that the victim had just gone into the ocean and then had her left arm stung multiple times by the tentacles of a jellyfish.
