A Thai woman, 31, died on Saturday after being stung by a box jellyfish in Koh Pha-ngan, Surat Thani.
Chayanan Surin was stung while swimming with her friends in front of a resort in the island around 8pm. She was sent to hospital and died shortly later.
Authorities warned against swimming at night. Box jellyfish is widespread during the raining season. Last year, a five-year-old French boy died from the jellyfish sting.
