A kindhearted policeman in Thailand found a unique way to carry two unconscious female backpackers to their hotel after a wild night, before tucking them into bed.

The island of Koh Phi Phi in Krabi, Thailand, is known for its wild parties – and two tourists, German Sina Baumann, 23, and her Australian friend TahliBenson, 19, overindulged at the bars on November 29.

Other attendees of the party the duo had attended tried to wake them up, but to no avail.

To prevent anyone taking advantage of the girls, father-of-three Sergeant Major Saneh Jualaong stepped in to help.

He spoke to a shop on a nearby pier and asked to borrow a pushcart to wheel the two girls back to their accomodation, resulting in a heartwarming and hilarious video.

Sina and Tahli didn’t appear to wake up during the walk back to their accommodation.

After arriving at their hotel, friends helped the pair into their bunk beds before Sergeant Major Jualaong placed blankets over them.

The officer said: ‘I know what it’s like to have a daughter and how much we worry about them. I thought about their parents back at home.

‘They were both too drunk to speak and too drunk to stand up. In that condition, they could have an accident, such as falling into the sea or falling down steps. I made sure they returned safely to their beds.’

Police Colonel Surasak Jaidee, superintendent of Koh Phi Phi Police Station, added: ‘As for why he used a trolley, it was because all routes on Koh Phi Phi are for walking, so we could not use a car.

‘The motorcycle was also unable to transport the unconscious passengers, so he had to use the trolley.

‘This was not the first time police have assisted drunk tourists. They have been doing this for over two years.

‘We understand that they come to the island to have fun. We don’t want to punish them. It is better that we are there to help and protect them.’
