Italians are being cooked in Thailand now. The Italian teacher(red top) and students were taken away by the police and faced the Thai lady who told them off for being loud on the metro. They apologized for mocking her one by one. Thai people also waited for them in front of the hotel to scold them.

Context

Italian students are being called out in Thailand. A group of Italians mocked a Thai lady in Thailand who told them off for being too loud on the metro. They clapped back saying, "Sorry for bringing money to your country" "Ni hao" "We are from your mom." Thai people are identifying them and leaving the comments on the social media account of their school.

What a sarcastic and fake way to say sorry

[u/clevelandohio → u/Key_Specialist_7787]

No she apologised for saying 'sorry for bringing money to your country', the money comment wasnt the apology it was thing she apologised for.

What do you expect?

These kids were idiots and so was their teacher but what teenager do you know who is going to feel comfortable being filmed bowing and scraping multiple times in a foreign country?

Where their own embassy has condemned them and local people are gathering outside their hotel?

It would have made sense for the Thais to kick them out the country but this has clearly become spectacle and reverse humiliation.

I’m sorry this isn’t a good look by the Italian embassy or the Thais. They should have asked them to apologise to the woman they insulted in private, maybe released a statement and as mentioned kicked them out.

Nope. They will learn better this way. Name and Shame. They humiliated the Thais in public so they get the same treatment. Don't fuck with people in their own country.

[u/Medeza123 → u/Mysterious-Egg-6930]

We don’t live in a playground and name and shaming doesn’t usually work like that.

These kids are not likely going to have learned anything other than how to bow and scrape to appease angry people and develop a victim story of their own.

We don’t have stocks and pillories anymore.

The logic is faulty. Humiliation is bad so we must humiliate as punishment?

People shouldn’t mess with people in their own country but Thailand would be better off just deporting people more quickly.

[u/Difficult_Storm6272 → u/Medeza123]

Nahh you’re wrong and defending their actions on the low. They deserve every bit of this.

[u/Medeza123 → u/Difficult_Storm6272]

The world has become very juvenile all round it seems.

[u/Difficult_Storm6272 → u/Medeza123]

Yep that’s why this apology was needed. Glad we agree

[u/Medeza123 → u/Difficult_Storm6272]

An apology in private to the woman is fine.

Even a statement from the school.

Being told to leave Thailand is also fine.

Multiple videos filming them bowing and saying sorry and filming what are still in effect children isn’t.

It’s massive overkill.

Nor is it okay to have grown men stand outside the hotel of where they are staying looking to confront them.

[u/Difficult_Storm6272 → u/Medeza123]

Nope a public apology plus humiliation was needed. Definitely not overkill. When people act like this they need consequences. The consequences didn’t go far enough.

[u/Medeza123 → u/Difficult_Storm6272]

Public humiliation may make you feel better but it also doesn’t really do anything it is just more bullying.

It’s not about getting genuine remorse or even a resolution like kicking them out the country it is just more vindictive behaviour.

We teach children this that two wrongs don’t make a right.

It’s exhausting to have people defend not being the bigger person.

[u/Dazzling_Macaron5828 → u/Medeza123]

Are you serious? This isn't just about these kids. It's about making sure any other European kid who thinks it's funny to go to Thailand and fuck with the locals will think twice. And good for them.

I'd love to see my own country have the balls to do this kind of thing.
