Tourists die in Thai caving tragedy
A flash flood in Thailand has claimed the lives of six tourists and two local guides.
A British traveller reportedly survived after clinging to the face of a cave for 16 hours but her fiancé was swept away in a rush of water.
The tragedy occurred in the Tham Nam Thalu limestone cave complex north of Phuket.
The foreign victims included a Swiss couple and their two teenage daughters and a ten year old German boy.
