A tourist was seen carrying a suitcase along a road by dragging it behind a motorcycle.

Footage shows the holidaymaker holding onto the large black luggage as it rolled behind the two-wheeler in Bangkok, Thailand.

The reckless traveller and the local driver maneuvered through the middle of the busy highway, sparking safety concerns among motorists behind them on June 29.

When a nearby car driver took a closer look, the suitcase's wheels were already broken, likely from being dragged at such speed.

The filmer said: 'We were confused and couldn't help but wonder why he didn't just take a taxi instead.'

Thailand has one of the world's worst road safety records. Ministers have set a goal of reducing fatalities from 32.7 deaths per 100,000 people to 12 per 100,000 by the year 2027.
