Social Media Trend Shows Foreign Tourists Expressing Gratitude to Thailand

BANGKOK — A new social media trend has emerged where foreign tourists are creating viral 'Thank you Thailand' videos at the end of their trips, bowing in gratitude and sharing detailed personal experiences. The videos typically include specific travel details like days spent in the country, steps walked, money spent, and playful counts of tuk-tuk rides, 7-Eleven visits, Thai massages, and meals like pad Thai and mango sticky rice. Some tourists even candidly share less glamorous moments like mosquito bites or bouts of food poisoning. Most reviews highlight Thailand's appealing aspects, including delicious food, traditional massage, beautiful attractions, and the renowned hospitality of local people. Thai social media users have warmly received these videos, seeing them as a fresh perspective on their country and noting the significant return of European tourists this year.
