This is the wholesome moment a caring policeman used a trolley to wheel two drunk and unconscious female backpackers to their hotel - then tucked them into bed.

German Sina Franziska Baumann, 23, and her Australian friend Tahli May Benson, 19, had overindulged at bars on the party island of Koh Phi Phi in Krabi, Thailand, before passing out on November 29.

Concerned revellers attempted to rouse the foreign tourists in bikinis but they eventually gave up.

So to stop anyone from taking advantage of them or prevent the girls from having an accident, kind father-of-three girls Sergeant Major Saneh Jualaong stepped in to help.

The understanding officer borrowed a pushcart from a shop on the pier and calmly wheeled the pair to their accommodation.

Footage shows the duo aboard the trolley slumped over as they were wheeled back to their hostel. The attentive official cautiously manoeuvred the two-wheeler cart to prevent them from falling out of place.

Their friends later helped to carry them to their rooms and hauled them onto their bunk beds, with the kind officer placing a blanket over one of them.

The cop then informed the lobby staff of the guest's return. The hotel owner thanked him for ensuring the safety of the tourists.

Sergeant Major Saneh Jualaong said: 'I know what it's like to have a daughter and how much we worry about them. I thought about their parents back at home.

'They were both too drunk to speak and too drunk to stand up. In that condition, they could have an accident, such as falling into the sea or falling down steps.

'I made sure they returned safely to their beds.'

The officer also reminded tourists not to ride rented motorcycles or cars while they are enjoying the party lifestyle on the islands.

Police Colonel Surasak Jaidee, superintendent of Koh Phi Phi Police Station, added: 'As for why he used a trolley, it was because all routes on Koh Phi Phi are for walking, so we could not use a car.

'The motorcycle was also unable to transport the unconscious passengers, so he had to use the trolley. This was not the first time police have assisted drunk tourists. They have been doing this for over two years.

'We understand that they come to the island to have fun. We don't want to punish them. It is better that we are there to help and protect them.'

Last year, police officials from Patong Police Station implemented a similar safety measure, offering assistance to inebriated tourists by ensuring they were safely transported to their accommodations.

This initiative has been credited with helping to prevent accidents and other alcohol-related incidents in the region.

The Ministry of Public Health previously suggested that nightspots wanting to extend their operating hours should implement breathalyzer tests for patrons before they leave and arrange transport services, if necessary, as part of efforts to enhance tourist safety.

The caring attitude is a stark contrast to undeveloped Laos, where last month six backpackers died from tainted methanol alcohol in Vang Vieng.

The victims included a British woman, an Australian teenager, an American, and two Danes. Holly Bowles and Bianca Jones, both 19, had been on life support but succumbed on November 21.

Global statistics reveal 58 incidents of methanol poisoning in the past 12 months, affecting more than 1,200 people and resulting in over 400 deaths.
