A tourist plunged to his death after allegedly ignoring warning signs to take selfies at a waterfall. Soipov Abdullokh, 22, from Uzbekistan, had been hiking through the beauty spot with six Russian friends in Ranong, southern Thailand, on Saturday morning. The backpacker, stuck in Thailand during the pandemic, allegedly ignored warning signs not to stand at the top of the waterfalls in the national park. His friends watched in horror as he slipped on the wet surface of the rocks and fell around 50ft to his death.
