A pod of pink dolphins was seen in the sea off Samila beach in Songkhla on Sunday and a paddleboarder posted pictures and a video of them on Facebook.
Palakorn Nakarabandid said there were 6-7 dolphins in the pod seen by himself and other paddleboarders.
Mr Palakorn said the pink dolphins were about 1 kilometre off the beach.
He was happy to see the dolphins, saying he believed it shows the rehabilitation of natural resources in the Gulf of Thailand.
Mr Palakorn called on tourists and fishing boat operators to be careful not to harm the rare creatures so that the Gulf of Thailand would remain safe for them.
