This is the bizarre moment a paramedic had to ride to the hospital with a dead man strapped to the back of his motorcycle.

Emergency worker Montree Phiewphong and his brother Apichart carried the corpse of villager Leuang Chodkasem, 73, on August 14 after he collapsed while picking fruits in a forest in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.

The brothers took turns tying the man's mummified body to their backs as they rode through the remote terrain of the Thap Lan National Park forest, which was inaccessible by a pickup truck.

Montree said: 'This was the only way to take the deceased's body away from the scene. The path was too narrow for cars so we needed to securely fasten him to the back of our motorcycle. It was safe.'

Leuang had reportedly walked deep into the woods on August 13 afternoon in search of some black myrobalan fruit to harvest. However, his son said he never came back home, prompting an evening search that ended in vain at 2 am on August 14.

Four hours later, the distraught son returned to resume the search and found his father lying lifeless under a tree. He called the officers to help retrieve Leuang's body.

Montree said the operation proved difficult since the area where the pensioner died was more than 30 minutes away from the nearest homes. They resorted to alternately riding with the body to avoid tiring themselves out.

Leuang's body has been taken to the Wang Nam Khiao Hospital, where a post-mortem examination will be conducted to determine the cause of his death.

Apichart, the second paramedic involved in carrying the body, added: 'It looks strange to people when they see a dead person on the back of the bike. We said prayers for him and paid our respects when we reached the temple.'
