A prank by a young Australian tourist has backfired in a spectacular way after he was left needing medical attention while on holiday in Bali.
Isaac Power shared a cheeky photo of himself drinking water from a hose held by a statue above the pool at his rented villa.
The photo in the Bali Bogans Facebook group was accompanied by another image of the Brisbane man receiving medical attention from a team of travelling doctors.
"Shout-out [to] doctor Ari, he's still alive," he wrote in the group.
The self-deprecating post garnered more than 1000 reactions from fellow travellers, who expressed sympathy but also let Mr Power know it was his fault.
Numerous travellers labelled Mr Power a "rookie" for making the error of drinking the water in Bali.
"Must be a first time rookie drinking that Bali water," one traveller wrote on the page for Australians travelling to Bali.
"OMG you drank that ha … I guess we all go through it," a Melbourne resident commented.
