A flash flood in southern Thailand has killed 35 people, while ten more are missing, according to the latest reports.
People swimming in the Prai Sawan and Sairung waterfalls, about five kilometres apart in Trang province, were taken by the sudden flood, caused by the recent heavy rains.
Authorities resumed the search for the missing people, but the prospects are bleak.
"The search is continuing but my belief is we might find more bodies of women and children as they couldn't escape in time, " the governor of the Trang province, Arnon Manasvanich, was quoted as saying by the BBC.
The waterfalls are a popular destination for locals. There were no foreign tourists killed, except a visitor from Laos.
