An Australian tourist has been found dead after attempting a demanding hike to a remote cave in Thailand.
Edward Alchin, 69, from Sydney, was discovered unconscious at the Tiger Cave in Krabi province on Friday afternoon.
Just moments earlier he posted a photo of the stunning view to Facebook showing the steep stairs leading to the top with the caption: 'Just 1000 more steps'
The Aussie - who had been travelling alone - made the difficult journey to climb 1,260 steps to the popular tourist spot.
Mr Alchin reached the observation deck at the mountain's summit, but felt dizzy from fatigue and later collapsed.

He was found near the base of a Buddha statue by a passing local who raised the alarm.
