Mockery and Even the Middle Finger... Italian Teenagers Causing 'Trouble' in Thailand Finally Resign (Seoul = Yonhap News) Italian students who mocked a woman and caused a nuisance to citizens on the Thai subway have finally bowed their heads in apology. According to foreign media outlets such as the UK's Daily Mail on the 27th, a Thai woman posted a video on her social media showing the incident, claiming she was publicly insulted inside the Bangkok subway's 'BTS Skytrain' on the 24th. The video captures dozens of Italian teenagers on a school trip to Bangkok. When the students were talking loudly, the woman asked them to be quiet, but they continued to cause a disturbance regardless. They glared at the woman's face and laughed at each other, bumped the camera, hurled profanities, and even made obscene gestures with their fingers. The supervising teacher, far from restraining the students, also mocked them by saying, "I'm sorry for bringing money to your country." The video spread rapidly, surpassing 10 million views within just one day of being posted. As protests from netizens continued and public criticism intensified, the Italian Embassy in Bangkok posted an official apology, and the students involved in the controversy also bowed their heads in apology. Watch the video.
