PRACHUAP KHIRI KHAN — 24 June 2026, A Japanese travel content creator has gone viral after posting a video of an unexpected mishap at Hua Hin Railway Station, where a chair suddenly broke beneath him as he leaned back while waiting for a train.
The creator, who runs the travel channel jun_suga_sekidou, shared the clip under the title “Thailand almost stopped my heart.”
In the video, he is seen sitting on a chair at the station. As he leans back against the backrest, the chair suddenly gives way, causing him to fall backwards onto the ground with a loud crash.
Fortunately, he was not injured in the incident.
The creator’s friend can be heard laughing and joking, saying, “Don’t break things.” The Japanese tourist later commented that he had properly apologized to the station master following the incident.
The clip quickly attracted attention online, with many social media users expressing relief that he escaped unharmed while also finding humor in the unexpected accident.
Some commenters, however, noted that the incident raises questions about public safety and maintenance standards. They said authorities may need to inspect station facilities more thoroughly, as a similar accident involving a child, elderly person, or pregnant woman could potentially result in more serious injuries.
The video has since been widely shared across Thai social media platforms, drawing both amusement and concerns over safety at public transport facilities.
