Uplifting footage shows the heartwarming moment a drenched security guard ferried shoppers through a monsoon.

The worker was outside a shopping mall in Bangkok, Thailand, last Friday when the heavens opened leaving people stranded inside at around 7pm.

But the man, named Hon San, grabbed a large parasol to go back and forth through the downpour, taking people to the metro station and bus stop.

He then took others back across the road into the mall despite getting soaked himself - making dozens of trips during an hour of torrential rain.

Onlooker Wipha Manuson, 32, who recorded the video said: ''The security guard took me from the mall to the metro station and I thought to myself how kind it was. So I recorded him doing it.

''He wasn't concerned about himself getting wet. I saw him go back and fourth a lot of times helping people get through the rain without getting wet.''
