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.

It is only for Thais to make noise .... foreigners not allowed

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.

Many of them come with a DTV visa for digital nomads which allows them to do digital work. It is encouraged by the government (soft power promotion)

Genuine JBL or copy?

Doesn't seem to be bothering most of the females intent on their phones.

Must have had a compatriot to take the photo/video.
