🇹🇭 A viral incident in Thailand has sparked backlash after an Israeli tourist refused to remove her shoes at a local restaurant, which is a common custom in many Thai eateries. When asked to comply, she allegedly insulted the staff, saying, “My money builds your country.”⁠
⁠
The moment was caught on video and has since drawn widespread criticism online for her lack of cultural respect. Many are now urging travelers to honor local traditions and show basic courtesy while abroad.⁠
⁠
🗣 What are your thoughts on cultural sensitivity when traveling?⁠
