This is the shocking moment an overloaded wooden bridge collapsed while tourists posed for a picture.

The extended family were visiting the idyllic pavilion where they posed for a group shot in Udon Thani province, Thailand on December 26.

Relative Chophet Wongtimarat was heard calling out to them to look at the camera for 'a video, a video'.

But the aging structure not could bare the weight of the entire clan and suddenly gave way - plunging four of them into the dirty water below.

Chophet, who captured the amusing photo fail, said: 'No one was hurt and those who fell into the water were immediately pulled out. We laughed about it afterwards.

'We were having a party for my parents. The house was old and deteriorated. The bridge was already there for more than ten years.'
