Cave Flooding Kills one in Surat Thani, Thailand

A heavy downpour triggered flash floods that swept through a cave in Surat Thani, trapping 24 people including 22 tourists and two tour guides. Rescue teams managed to save 23 people from the Namtalu cave, located near the Ratchaprapha dam, but the guide, 37-year-old Pongyos, was swept away by the rushing waters and his body was later found inside the cave. 

The incident occurred on Tuesday when a group of 22 foreign tourists and their guides entered the cave. As they were exploring, heavy rain caused a sudden surge of water, forcing the guides to evacuate the group. However, one tour guide went missing during the evacuation.
