A foreign woman apologized on TikTok for splashing water at people and dancing in the BTS without a mask during Songkran.
TikTok user Shizu0405fc3, who is believed to be Japanese, this morning apologized to Bangkok residents for not wearing a mask while splashing water at passengers and a security guard at a BTS stop and dancing frantically inside the train, apparently for the sake of her fans.
“I apologize for splashing water and not wearing a mask on the train,” the woman said in English on TikTok early Tuesday. She went on to extend the apology to people of many nationalities: Thai, Korean, Japanese and Cambodia.
She even made a dramatic wai, “chan kor tod kaaa (I’m sorry).”
Her contrition was very different than her tone in a Sunday video in which she stripped off her mask on a BTS train and attempted something resembling dancing as confused commuters looked on.
“No more mask! Any more mask! Don’t you wanna take off your mask?” the video was titled.

On Friday, she shot water at an unsuspecting commuter and then the private security guard who tried to stop her, all while smiling vacuously into the camera. Thai users flooded the comments to criticize her.
“1. Wears Indian clothes. 2. Japanese channel name 3. Captions in Korean 4. Looks Filipino 5. Uses Cambodian music. 6. Lives in Thailand,” TikToker Runsmax wrote.
In a Saturday tweet, she was filmed dancing badly to music from a portable speaker she had brought onto a BTS train.
A representative of the Bangkok Mass Transit System, who would not give their name, told Coconuts this morning that trains are disinfected daily per COVID-19 preventive measures. More staffers were instructed to patrol BTS stations more frequently to prevent such incidents from reoccurring.
According to the Communicable Disease Act, people who fail to wear masks in public can face a heavy fine of up to THB20,000 (US$593).
