A schoolboy tumbled from the walkway but climbed up again to finish his walk at a class fashion show.

The youngster joined the costume-making contest using recycled materials and appeared in a gold rocket ship suit with the help of parents in Phetchabun, Thailand.

However, the kid tripped with the narrow suit when it was time to parade it before the judges. Instead of being embarrassed, he continued to show off his work to friends and teachers.

Footage shows the boy plunging from the side of the stage. He fell headfirst, but the triangular hat piece saved him from injury.

The pink cone was slightly torn, and he widely smiled, proud of the costume he had made, as the school cheered for him.

Teacher Sasita Tuaisiri said: ‘Not only was his costume unique, but he was also confident of his work. The theme was prince and princess. He arrived as the Prince of the Rocket Ships. He is very adorable.'
