Sleepwalking girl survives 100ft fall after terrifying climb over hotel balcony

A little girl has miraculously survived after plunging 100ft from a Thai hotel's balcony while she was sleepwalking.

Terrifying surveillance camera footage from the hotel shows the five-year-old walking in the corridor on the 11th floor during the early hours on Sunday morning before her fall.

The unnamed girl had been unable to get back into the room on the 12th floor after realising it was locked, so walked down to the floor below.

The clip shows her calmly walking toward the balcony on the 11th floor and climbing over a ledge to try and go down.
