Six German tourists and a Thai tour guide died when they were swept away by flash floods while exploring a cave at a national park in southern Thailand, police said.
The group was trekking through the Khao Sok national park in Surat Thani province when a heavy rainfall caused flash floods that sent water surging through the cave, said police Lt. Col. Pichan Kanayasiri.
A German man and a Thai man were still believed missing, he said.
