Thai tourists have been praised online after a video showed them getting off their tour bus to help push a truck stuck in deep snow in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.
The clip, posted on TikTok by user @eggtanya on 31 January 2026, shows an incident on 25 January, when heavy snowfall blanketed Sapporo for around 16 hours, making roads difficult to navigate.
According to the post, the Thai tour group was travelling to a restaurant when they encountered a truck immobilised in the snow, blocking traffic and trapping vehicles behind it. Several members of the group got off the bus and helped push the truck clear so traffic could resume.
The video drew widespread attention online, with many commenters praising the Thais’ willingness to help. The clip has since gone viral, with viewers describing the moment as a reflection of Thai kindness and a helping spirit often seen as second nature.
