A seriously overloaded delivery rider crammed 40 parcels onto his motorcycle as he set off for work.

Sayomchai Meksorn wanted to take the packages on time so he loaded as he could onto his two-wheeler in Surat Thani province, Thailand, on January 23.

Footage shows Sayomchai leaving the warehouse with the large cargo, amusing some of his coworkers.

However, the postman almost lost his balance when he rode through a bump in front of the building.

Colleague Nattapol Wasan said: ‘There were many parcels for delivery that day. He put as much on the scooter and tested if he could leave with them.

‘When he was comfortable about it, he was about to leave but almost fell. He delivered them all that day.'
