An Indian woman's account of her recent trip to Thailand has sparked discussion online after she claimed that the warm treatment she received from locals stemmed not from ordinary hospitality, but from surprise at encountering a polite Indian tourist.
In an Instagram video posted on June 8, content creator Shree said she had been receiving gifts and discounts from Thai locals during her travels. However, she said the gestures left her feeling conflicted and embarrassed because they appeared to reflect negative perceptions created by the conduct of some Indian visitors.
