The video, posted on Facebook by user Thanapol Pathan, was shared with the caption: “Netanyahu is not my father. Go away. You idiot, show me your phone and I’ll see Hebrew,” along with the hashtags #Alhamdulillah, #khanfullauto and #khanbutchery.
The footage shows a male foreign tourist dressed in a black T-shirt and black shorts walking along a street in the Bang Ma Lao area of Sakhu.
As the tourist walks past a shop, the person recording the video – believed to be the shopowner – repeatedly tells him to leave, shouting in English for the man to “read the sign” and get out of the shop.
The man filming can also be heard repeatedly shouting “Allahu Akbar” and “Free Palestine”, and swearing in English at the tourist.
The tourist appears to comply and continues walking away from the shop, but the shopowner continues to follow and film him.
The tourist is then seen taking out his phone and filming while speaking, though it is unclear whether he was recording the incident for social media or making a phone call.
Following the video’s release, it quickly spread across Thai social media platforms, attracting a large number of comments and sparking debate among netizens.
Some commenters supported the shopowner, posting remarks such as “The Jew got his comeuppance” and mocking the tourist’s appearance.
Others questioned the situation and urged caution, asking whether the tourist had done anything wrong prior to the confrontation.
“If he didn’t do anything wrong, this kind of behaviour could damage Thailand’s image,” one commenter wrote.
Some also noted the sensitivity of the issue, pointing out that many Thai workers are employed in Israel and warning against generalising or creating unnecessary conflict.
As of now, there has been no official report clarifying why the tourist was told to leave the shop or whether any prior dispute took place before the video began.
The incident continues to circulate online, with debate ongoing over what prompted the confrontation and whether the situation reflects a broader issue or an isolated dispute.
