Tiktok influencer ShayanparsTV, is under fire among Thai netizens after he posted a video of himself dragging a loudspeaker and playing music at high volume inside the MRT train.
In a Bangkok Post article, the video may have occurred on May 11 at the Klong Toey Station. In the video, a Thai passenger is heard yelling “Hey!” in frustration, causing the “attention-seeking passenger to stop”. The Tiktoker then captioned the video “He screamed at me like I ruined his life.”
Thai social media went abuzz with some netizens argue that Thais tend to “overreact and dramatise such incidents”, while others praised the passenger for speaking up towards the disrespectful behaviour of the said influencer.
The same influencer also filmed a similar stunt, this time in another MRT train and inside BTS Siam station. His activities have raised further concerns about public decorum and the ethics of content creation in Thailand’s public spaces.
The same Bangkok Post article says that the influencer has done the same stunt in other cities.
