webfact Posted May 13 Posted May 13 screenshot An influencer's antics on Bangkok's MRT have stirred up a storm! A foreign content creator, identified as the Iranian TikToker @shayanparsTV, found himself at the centre of controversy after a video surfaced showing him blasting music on a moving MRT train. The incident, which transpired on May 11, drew ire from fellow commuters who did not appreciate the unsolicited soundtrack. As the train approached Klong Toey station, frustration bubbled over when a local passenger could no longer contain his annoyance, shouting “Hey!” at the loud influencer. Undeterred by the confrontation, the influencer uploaded the incident to TikTok, cheekily captioning it: “He screamed at me like I ruined his life.” The clip rocketed into viral status, igniting a fierce debate across Thai social media platforms. While some commentators suggested that the reaction was overly dramatic, a substantial portion condemned the influencer for his lack of respect towards local customs. The issue raises important questions about the boundaries of public behaviour and the responsibilities that come with content creation in shared spaces. Despite criticism, the influencer remains unfazed, having previously orchestrated similar episodes at the Siam BTS station and on other MRT trains. Drawing in 731,000 followers, @shayanparsTV continues to amass views and followers through his disruptive escapades, seemingly making a career out of sharing his beats in public spaces worldwide. This latest stunt underscores ongoing concerns over how influencers can sometimes disregard the peace of everyday commuters in their quest for online fame. The ramifications of this event spotlight the growing tension between content creators and communities expecting mutual respect in shared public environments. @twoways #ต่างชาติทำคอนเทรนด์bts #ต่างชาติไม่เคารพคนไทย ♬ เสียงต้นฉบับ - master Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-05-14 16 3

Popular Post thesetat Posted May 13 Popular Post Posted May 13 These influencers use tiktok and FB making videos to earn money. They should be banned from working in Thailand without a work permit. Worse thing about this is that the fierce debate and comments from Netizens made him even more money simply by going to his page. Win-win situation for the influencer to make money which probably explains why he has done it at several stations. He should be fined at least for disturbing the peace doing this. But i think that all foreign influencers should be banned to make videos in Thailand without a work permit. 8 12 1 15 2 3

It is encouraged by the government (soft power promotion) 1 1 4

Popular Post kevden Posted May 14 Popular Post Posted May 14 Pretty selfish, impolite behaviour and he's benefiting from the publicity. He could have played and danced in a park or other area, Eben with supportive foreigners. I wonder if the music machine were confiscated would he learn anything? 3 2 1

Joe32 Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Does he ride horses? Look at the way he walks... People like these influencers who do this or act in public as if they just came out of a mental hospital are about as annoying as people who eat loudly in public places. What do they think? That everyone is just gonna dance with him? 1

This IS their life, and the sad part is that alot of other people have no life mindlessly scrolling on TikTok are influenced by him. But for what, I have no idea. There's nothing informative about such videos 1

This is the infuriating thing with sick nasty influencers, like that woman who was chastising men in Thailand, if you engage and go to their video they actually make more money, they love it. That is why they act so obnoxious, just to get attention. To make money. It's like women acting slutty on Instagram, all to get attention. Attention can make you money these days. 1

But i think that all foreign influencers should be banned to make videos in Thailand without a work permit. That isn't workable. The definitions of "influencer" and "marketer" are too close when you consider their purpose for making a video. Then, where do you draw the line regarding the types of video that would require a work permit? Who will police the internet? This will lead to internet censorship and a huge can of worms.
