A video clip showing an argument between a Buddhist monk and a woman on the BTS skytrain has been widely circulated on the internet, and has met with strong reaction from netizens.
The clip, uploaded to YouTube by a user who went by the name BA NQ, was taken on a BTS train going from Aree station to Bearing station, but it did not say when the incident happened.
In the clip, the eldery monk unexpectedly reprimanded the sitting men, saying that they should give up their seats to women. When some of them failed to heed his advice, the monk then started yelling profanities.
He also shouted at the people who tried to calm him down.
Eventually, a woman appears to be fed up with what is happening and gets into a heated argument with the monk. The scene was recorded on the video clip.
BA NQ says that the monk displayed lack of propriety by causing the commotion.
Netizens expressed mixed opinions about the incident, some thought the monk's action as unbecoming while others believed that it was within his rights to do so.
A poster in YouTube doubted whether the elderly man was actually a monk.
Some commenters said it was inappropriate for the woman to talk rudely to the monk.
