This is the adorable moment excited puppies swarmed around an overwhelmed little boy in Thailand.

The playful brown pooches were thrilled when the three-year-old Nong Mungkorn entered their enclosure in Kanchanaburi province on December 29.

However, the lively creatures proved too much to handle for the toddler, as he was left shouting for help while the dogs gathered around him.

Footage shows the chaotic pet puppies flocking around the boy before he broke down in tears.

Nong's relative Kanassanan Siangliw said: 'The puppies didn't mean to make little Nong cry. They just wanted to play.'

Kanassanan added Nong was removed from the enclosure and calmed down before he jumped back inside to play again.
