IBNS-CMEDIA: A viral video on X showing a group of Indian tourists enjoying a meal while sitting on the floor of an airport in Vietnam, using disposable plates, has drawn criticism from a section of social media users.
The incident has once again sparked a debate over travel etiquette and public behaviour among Indians travelling abroad.
In the video, around 15 to 20 Indian tourists can be seen sitting on newspapers spread across the airport waiting area and eating from disposable plates.
Despite several empty chairs being available nearby, the group chose to sit on the floor and have their meal.
Very proud to tell y’all that our fellow Indians organized a bhandara inside terminal building of an airport in Vietnam. I would request everyone travelling abroad, please do’nt consider organizing this kinda setup in any airport. 🇮🇳 https://t.co/HNHmoa9Uib

Another wrote: “This is embarrassing to even watch.”
