Tourist in Thailand insults taxi driver eating out of plastic bag by comparing him to dog<\/h2>\n

An Italian tourist has sparked a storm of online backlash after posting a series of videos insulting Thailand and its people, including comparing a taxi driver eating from a plastic bag to a dog.<\/p>\n

Tourist mocks taxi driver over meal choice<\/h3>\n

The controversy erupted on 11 Jan when the tourist, who was visiting the country during the New Year break, shared a video on Facebook, now deleted, showing a taxi driver parked at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok.<\/p>\n

In the footage, the driver can be seen sitting on the rear bumper of his car, eating food straight from a plastic bag with a plastic spoon.<\/p>\n

Speaking in Italian, the man then said that eating food out of a plastic bag is something a dog would do.<\/p>\n

“I love dogs, but this kind of people is disgusting,” he continued.<\/p>\n

He even went on to ask his own dog, which he had brought along for the trip, if it agreed with him.<\/p>\n

According to Thaiger, the clip quickly went viral and drew outrage from both Thais and Italians.<\/p>\n

When confronted with criticism, the man posted his hotel location online and challenged people to confront him directly.<\/p>\n

Though the video of the taxi driver has since been deleted, several other clips, in which the tourist continues to mock Thailand, remain available.<\/p>\n

In one clip, he can be seen walking along a street in Thailand and stopping at a food cart.<\/p>\n

In the caption, he called the digital marketing around Thailand a lie and pointed to the food cart as an example of how “disgusting” the country is.<\/p>\n
