A plane crashed into the sea killing five on board just yards from a luxury hotel along the coast of Thailand this morning.

Footage shows the Viking DHC-6 Twin Otter plunging into the water in Hua Hin, around 125 miles south of the capital, Bangkok.

Horrified guests at the Baby Grand Hua Hin Hotel watched as the aircraft slammed into the water shortly after 8 am local time.

Several locals, along with passing fishermen, rushed over to the wreckage. Five people were pulled from the water by divers, but they were pronounced dead at the scene.

One other person was reportedly seriously injured and taken to the hospital.

The registration of the plane, N964VK, indicates it was operated by the Royal Thai Police. Police and aviation chiefs were at the scene investigating the cause of the plane crash.
