Tourists who passed out from binge drinking have been piled into wheelbarrows by police and taken back to their hostel in Thailand.

Two women wearing swimwear were photographed unconscious in trolleys being pushed by a policeman on party island Koh Phi Phi in Krabi, Thailand, on Nov 29.

The German and Australian women, aged 19 and 23, were said to have been found at a nearby bar before Sergeant Major Saneg Jualaong came to their aid with a pushcart.

The scenes come after warnings over drinks laced with methanol in neighbouring Laos, which left six foreign tourists dead last month.
