A tourist from the Czech Republic has died after tripping and falling off a cliff on Thailand's popular island of Koh Samui.
The 32-year-old man travelled on Thursday in a group of eight to a forbidden waterfall in Koh Samui, 750 kilometres south of Bangkok, before he tripped and fell 30 metres to the ground, said Boonchai Wannawatchanasuntorn of Koh Samui's tourist police.
"There is a sign in both Thai and English barring people from entering, but tourists keep ignoring it," said Boonchai.
"Accidents happened often because the slope is very steep, at almost 90 degrees, and it is very slippery," he said.
