Tourists visiting Thailand's beaches have been warned of the danger of swimming in the sea after a boy died from a jellyfish sting.
The French boy died after being stung by a box jellyfish, which trails poisonous tentacles up to three metres behind its body.
The incident happened at Had Kuad beach, also known as Bottle Beach, on Koh Phangan island.
Local police have advised tourists to exercise caution when swimming and have also asked hotels to erect warning signs and prepare emergency packs in case more incidents occur.
