This is the heart-warming moment passers-by carry a disabled man in his wheelchair up a bridge to help him get to the other side of the road.

The handicapped man was seen with his struggling to negotiate the busy traffic in Bangkok, on June 4.

But a group of four motorcycle taxi riders stepped in and hoisted him in the air and up the steps so he could cross the eight-lane road.

Onlooker Anurak Nontakanan said: ''The man in the wheelchair was a little bit stressed because he could not cross. Then this happened when the men came to help him. It was a very happy outcome and shows how kind people can be.''

Despite being one of the world's biggest tourist destinations, the city is notoriously difficult for disabled people in wheelchairs to negotiate.

Activists have made repeated calls for the city's metro sky train system to install lifts across all of its stations.
