A #Japanese#TikToker with around 600,000 followers has apologised after posting a staged pickpocketing video filmed on #KhaoSanRoad that falsely portrayed a local man as a thief.
The creator admitted paying the man to act in the scene without explaining the footage would be edited to appear as a real theft. After the video went viral, the man reportedly faced public suspicion, lost his job, and filed a police complaint over reputational damage.
The prank also drew criticism in Japan, with many accusing the creator of unfairly harming Thailand's image as a tourist destination.
The TikToker said he made the video for views, accepted full responsibility, and apologised to the victim, his family, and Thailand. He later claimed the man had been allowed to return to work after the misunderstanding was clarified. Authorities have not yet provided an update on the legal case.
