An angry - some say prejudiced - rant against Chinese tourists has gone viral in Thailand, leading to a huge discussion on the Chinese internet.
Duangjai Phichitamphon, a model from Thailand, was waiting in line at Jeju International Airport in South Korea when a group of Chinese tourists apparently jumped the queue. Her response was to record a tirade on the spot and post it to Facebook. In the video, she accuses the tourists around her of stepping on her feet and pushing their way to the front of the line - and she also blames them for dirty airport toilets.
The original (which has since been taken down from Phichitamphon's page) is in Thai, but versions of the video with English and Mandarin subtitles uploaded on Facebook and YouTube have had more than two million hits.
On Youku - a YouTube-like site in China - the video has drawn more than 3,000 comments. Many of those commenting in Thailand and elsewhere in the world empathised with Phichitamphon, but others warned that her observations were sweeping generalisations.
Some even questioned whether the tourists were actually Chinese. One YouTube viewer posted: "Racist, racist, racist. It is disgusting that anyone can make generalisations like this. That this woman can use a small example to judge millions of other people".
On Chinese microblogging site Weibo, a serious discussion emerged about how Chinese tourists are perceived abroad. "Our people have done it wrong, I am very sorry and ashamed ... it's inarguable that we should admit our wrong and make it right," wrote Qiusxiaoyu, while user PhumjaiThai posted, "Isn't reflecting and correcting yourself the best way to show your love for the country? So that foreigners will no longer perceive that the Chinese are without manners."
As China's economy has grown and restrictions have been gradually eased, international travel has become more common. More than 5m were expected to travel abroad during the Chinese New Year last month and mainland media reminded tourists to "mind their manners
