Indian tourist alleges racist abuse in Thailand restaurant — Video sparks outrage online

In the video, he claims that a woman was called by the restaurant staff to assist with translation. However, he alleges that after learning his nationality, she began verbally abusing him.

The tourist said he was forced to contact the Thailand Tourist Police to resolve the situation.

“We literally had to call the tourist police to sort this out. For all the people who say Thailand is good and all of that, this is the first time I am experiencing racism in Thailand,” he said in the video.

The video also shows the woman allegedly hurling abuse at the tourist.

Sharing the clip on Instagram, he wrote: “Racism is never okay, not in debates, not in real life. We faced it in Ao Nang, Krabi - Thailand and had to stand up for ourselves by calling the police.”
