    Foreign tourist dies after falling from cliff at Ranong waterfall

    A tourist from Uzbekistan has died after slipping from a cliff edge while taking a photograph in the southern province of Ranong. The man, named in a Nation Thailand report as Soipov Abdullokh, was visiting Ngao Waterfall National Park with 5 Russian tourists. Ngao Waterfall National Park is between Ranong and Chumpon in Southern Thailand.


    The incident happened around 1.00pm yesterday. Rescue workers found the man’s body in a stream below where he fell. Witnesses say the Uzbek tourist was around 15 metres above ground level and trying to take a picture when he lost his footing and fell off the cliff edge. Signs in the area warn of a slippery surface.


    The man’s body has been sent for an autopsy.

    This happens all the time. Dumb fucks getting too close to the edge. Being afraid of heights is a survival skill

    You probably mean Darwinism.


    Given that you don't even know what it's called, I doubt you actually know what it is.

    Saying Darwin is just a way of being less formal. There's a popular Twitter account called Darwin culling the herd. You should go set them straight too

    Shouldn't you have inserted 'Sybil would say...' at the start of this post?

    That's how you normally begin posts like this, when it has feck all to do with me and it's actually just you being a bit of a dick.
