The incident triggered a strong online reaction, with many users citing it as an example of increasing frustration over the behaviour of foreign tourists, especially Israelis, in Thailand.
It also revived discussions about earlier controversies involving Israeli travellers, prompting reminders of past advisories by the Israeli embassy urging respectful conduct.
The ministry reported that the top ten countries with the highest number of visitors to Thailand last month were:
China – 662,779 tourists Malaysia – 443,015 tourists Russia – 255,920 tourists South Korea – 209,065 tourists India – 185,809 tourists United Kingdom – 121,529 tourists United States – 118,038 tourists Taiwan – 116,779 tourists Germany – 112,828 tourists France – 110,515 tourists https://www.nationthailand.com/news/tourism/40046089

It's kristallnacht, or worse, a tragedi oktober all over again for this poor gal. How can the world stand still and watches with indifference and apathy while a spesjus is being subjected to a barrage of anti-semitism by the locals?

She got raep in her mind? Also you say anything against them = anti-semitism
Cohen, reportedly a tourist from Israel, has since responded to the backlash, insisting her remarks were 'taken out of context'. Via a post on her now deactivated Instagram account, she said: 'I intended to say that Israeli tourism contributes positively to the Thai economy.'
She also alleged she had suffered 'verbal and physical aggression' during the incident, claiming that the individual who filmed her was not a staff member but another café guest. Cohen maintained that she had received permission to wear shoes due to a foot injury.
'I had already chosen to leave the café to avoid further confrontation, yet I was met with aggression. The video is misleading and does not show the violence I experienced,' she added.
normal lah, play victim card again
