A clumsy tourist capsized the boat he was travelling on, while trying to disembark for a restaurant beside a canal in Lopburi, Thailand.

Footage shot on May 15 shows the nervous man clinging to the structure beside the water, as he slowly sinks the vessel with his weight.

His friends finally help pull him out as his legs are submerged in the canal.

Canals have been used in Thailand for centuries as a means of transportation and trade, and continue to be an important part of the country's infrastructure to this day.
