Free visas don’t promise free common sense! When the OG sanskari Indians are set free to travel wherever they want, they’ll bring their exclusive civic sense and behavior all along. This is exactly what happened in this viral incident when a group of Indian men was caught shamelessly urinating in Pattaya Beach on a busy evening. What happened next will leave you shocked!
While it is common to spot men urinating openly on the streets in India, it is rather unexpected in other cultures, and when one such incident came to light in Thailand, it instantly went viral on social media. In an unfortunate experience, some Indian tourists were filmed urinating on Pattaya Beach, a famous tourist destination in Thailand. A Thai local had discreetly recorded the video of the act as he was concerned about the mindless behavior of foreign travelers to the country.

As the video went viral on social media, it sparked outrage and gained severe backlash from the citizens of Thailand. They expressed disappointment and emphasized the need for a basic civic sense among tourists. The video of the 5-6 men pissing openly on the beach during the late evening drew excessive criticism from both Thai and Indian citizens. The Thai expressed their concern about the safety of their people and culture calling for stricter rules and supervision. The Indians, too, expressed disappointment asking, “Where are your sanskars?”
While the underlying issue points toward a lack of awareness and cultural insensitivity, the question still revolves around the basic civic sense. Let’s face it: Indians generally don’t have a good reputation when it comes to traveling abroad. From being loud and irritating to being dirty and unruly, Indians top the list when it comes to shameful behavior and public places, especially tourist spots. This is exactly what was proven again with the kind of hate received on the viral video. People went on to comment how Indians use the “chalta hai” attitude in other countries too. Some even called out the free visa schemes pointing out how most creeps have started traveling to decent destinations and corrupted them already.
This incident, however, is a reminder that some Indians need to reflect on their unruly behavior and show more respect when it comes to cultural norms and local customs in foreign countries when traveling.
