An inspirational disabled Thai woman can climb trees to collect durian fruit.

Noona Aornamon Saming, 36, from Surin province was filmed deftly scaling the branches of the steep durian tree to reach its spiky fruit, impressively completing the feat without the use of her legs.

At the age of 28, she was devastated when doctors had to cut off her lower limbs due to acute pulmonary embolism. But despite the amputation, Aoramon refused to wallow in self-pity, and instead chose to continue helping her husband sell fruit in Chanthaburi province.

She would occasionally climb up the durian trees and collect the fruit to sell. When she's at home, Noona would spend most of her time in their garden tending to the plants.

Noona said: 'I laugh thinking about what happened in 2014. The doctor almost had to get rid of my arms too, so I'm really happy I only had to get rid of both my legs.

'My husband has been very supportive and caring. It was bad luck that led me to losing both my legs, but I am lucky to have an amazing partner. '
