Passing motorists, fearing that the lone suitcase lying in the road might be a bomb, took snapshots, which quickly went viral on social media.

“Luckily, the case was empty,” said Lt Prachpong Keawkamjan, head of the Phuket Provincial Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit.

He should look more like this if he'd like to keep his life:
