CHIANG MAI:-- The behaviour of a group of Chinese tourists gorging on an all you can eat buffet in Chiang Mai has been widely criticised on Thai media, reports Thaivisa News.

A video showing the feeding frenzy was posted on the Shanghaiist website and shows Chinese tourists pushing each other out for the way in order to try and scoop up large plate fulls of prawns.

If the behaviour of those in the video wasn’t bad enough, pictures taken later revealed that much of the food actually went to waste.

The video has now been viewed more than 3.5 million times and as well as being reported by Thai media, has also been reported by Chinese state media.

Commenting on the video, one netizen wrote: "What on earth? Have you never eaten shrimp before? Could you lose any more face abroad?"

While another comment read: "I don't know who's more savage... those old people trying to fill their plate with shrimps like there's no tomorrow, or that one lady with THREE plates pilled up, LOL."

Hotel staff were said to be dismayed at the behaviour, while Thai media have lambasted the actions of those in the video, calling them ‘greedy Chinese tourists’.

Just let them pay for the food that was not eaten. The Thais wanted the Chinese tourists now they got them.

About 9 years ago I stayed at the Windsor Suites Hotel in Bangkok and witness the exact behavior from Chinese tourist.

At the airport yesterday, it was like being in China. Of course, the main entrance door has about 100 Chinese people just shouting at each other with their carts and bags, blocking anyone from entering or exiting the airport, or just to walk past them. I had to physically push them so I could get past.

Exactly ! Have they no regard for their cholesterol levels ?

I have seen them remove whole trays of food from buffets. No manners at all

At least dogs will let nothing go to waste, plus they can be trained to sit before the frenzy starts.

Dogs > Chinese tourist trash.
