An Uzbek tourist fell 50ft to his death from a waterfall in Thailand after he ignored warning signs and climbed it in order to take selfies, police have said. Soipov Abdullokh, 22, who had been stranded in Thailand due to Covid, plunged to his death in Ngao Waterfall National Park, southern Thailand, on Saturday. Abdullokh then left the trail and ignored warning signs in order to climb the falls and take pictures, investigators said. His friends then watched in horror as he slipped and fell around 50ft to his death, landing on sharp rocks below. The park ranger said that Soipov had 'violated' a ban on climbing the waterfall because he 'wanted to take pictures'.
