‘Embarrassment' or ‘just fun'? Indian tourists dancing in Thailand sparks heated debate online
A video featuring a group of Indian men dancing in Thailand is going viral, but for all the wrong reasons. Originally posted on TikTok in May, the clip has recently resurfaced and gained traction online, becoming part of a broader trend of videos showing Indian tourists dancing in public spaces abroad. In the brief video, a group of Indian men is seen dancing enthusiastically on a stage. The audience appears to be mostly Indian, though a few onlookers of other nationalities can be spotted in the background. They appear surprised and slightly annoyed. The setting, based on visual clues, appears to be Safari World in Bangkok. The video has an overlay text saying, 'When you visit Thailand to see Thai people but… Indians everywhere.' Originally uploaded by TikTok user @ the video was later reshared on X by @baldwhiner with the caption, 'Dear desi tourists abroad WE BEG YOU … if you weren't a singer, dancer, stand-up comic or wildlife whisperer back home … this is not the time to start let's not make the whole planet suffer 2nd-hand embarrassment on our behalf.' dear desi tourists abroad WE BEG YOU 🙏🏼… if you weren't a singer, dancer, stand-up comic or wildlife whisperer back home … this is not the time to start let's not make the whole planet suffer 2nd-hand embarrassment on our behalf — JΛYΣƧΉ (@baldwhiner) June 20, 2025 Some users expressed embarrassment and criticised the tourists for their behaviour. One user commented, 'Our behaviour will ensure that even the 2nd and fellow 3rd world countries will stop issuing visa on arrival.' Another user echoed a similar sentiment, saying, 'It's shocking how people don't realise what an embarrassment they are & that the world is starting to detest them more and more.' However, others stepped in to defend the tourists and offered a different perspective. One user said, 'The song is playing in the background. You never know if they were encouraged to do this. During our Vietnam Cruise, we were encouraged to dance and sing, and so were Japanese and philipino people as well. It was well organised. Background context: it was a party.' Another user made a comment about the double standards in such criticism: 'If there was a western pop song playing and whites dancing, you wouldn't bat an eyelid saying they are just happy and having fun. When Indian tourists do it, it's embarrassing. Stop with the self-hate buddy.'
