Amusing footage shows frantic villagers nervously rescuing a man from the river whom they thought was already dead, but was actually just having a swim.

The homeless man was seen silently floating in a canal before neighbours called the emergency services for help as they assumed he was drowning.

Motorist Kholar Phommachan was riding back home after visiting a local mart with a friend in Vientiane, Laos on July 4 when he passed by the commotion and stopped to film it.
