A shocking video of a foreign tourist urinating while seated on a moving tuk-tuk in Phuket has gone viral, drawing widespread condemnation from social media users across Thailand.
The video, originally shared on Facebook by Thai user Wissawa Jed Dok Jick on Thursday, April 24th, shows the tourist seemingly unbothered as he relieves himself in broad daylight, with vehicles and pedestrians nearby witnessing the incident. The clip quickly gained traction online, sparking an outpouring of anger and frustration.
“This is unacceptable behaviour. I don’t like people like this—just urinating on someone else’s vehicle,” the uploader wrote in a caption accompanying the post.
Reactions online have been swift and harsh, with many decrying the act as not only disrespectful but also a health hazard. Several users called for stricter regulations and enforcement to prevent such incidents, while others emphasised the need for tourists to better understand and respect Thai cultural norms and public spaces.
The disturbing footage has reignited conversations about tourist conduct in Thailand, with growing calls for authorities to take stronger action against inappropriate behaviour that tarnishes the country’s image.
