Video of unruly behavior on Thailand-bound flight sparks debate on travel etiquette
A viral video of Indian passengers displaying unruly behavior on a Thailand-bound flight has ignited discussions about travel etiquette. Shared by Instagram user Ankit Kumar, the footage shows passengers standing in the aisles, eating, and chatting, despite repeated requests from Thai Air Asia cabin crew to remain seated.
Ankit criticized the behavior, calling it embarrassing, and concluded his video with the remark, “Put them on a train.” The incident drew mixed reactions online. Critics linked the actions to a lack of civic sense, with one user commenting, “Money doesn’t get you class!” Others defended the passengers, saying standing in the aisle isn’t problematic if the seatbelt sign is off.
In a follow-up, Ankit clarified that the passengers were disrupting others by hooting and ignoring crew requests. The incident has fueled a broader debate on the behavior of Indian tourists abroad, with one user noting frustrations among locals in Thailand.
