BANGKOK — A recent viral video of Chinese tourists mobbing a shrimp buffet in a Thai restaurant which prompted massive finger wagging actually took place two years ago.
The video which was held up as another example of a collective obsession with the behavior of Chinese visitors, was actually filmed in 2014 at a restaurant near Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport and not Chiang Mai as claimed on social media, according to a Wednesday statement from restaurant owner King Power.
