A restaurant in Chiang Mai, Thailand, has sparked public outrage with a contentious discount offer that critics claim promotes body shaming.
Chiang Mai Breakfast World provided discounts of up to 20% to patrons who could successfully navigate through progressively tighter spaces between vertical metal bars. Thaiger reported.
The campaign faced significant backlash across social media platforms following its coverage by prominent British travel bloggers through an Instagram video posted on April 6. This clip quickly gained traction, amassing upwards of 58,000 likes along with more than 2,000 comments. The Straits Times reported.
