Thai Woman Complains About Smell Of Airline Passenger’s Feet Behind Her

While on a flight, it’s necessary to be considerate towards our fellow passengers. Otherwise, we may inconvenience them greatly for the whole trip, making for an unpleasant experience.

This was the case recently when a Thai woman took to TikTok to complain about the smell of a passenger’s feet.

He had rested them on her armrest, causing her grave discomfort for a good half of the flight.

According to Thaiger, the incident took place about two months ago. The OP, named Keng, was travelling from Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok to Vietnam.

When the flight attendants began serving passengers, Keng detected an unpleasant smell. She initially suspected it was from someone removing their shoes.

However, she then realised it was coming from the feet of a passenger behind her, who had placed them on her armrest.

Based on the footage shared, the passenger’s feet seem to be almost touching her shoulder.

Keng proceeded to shift in her seat to convey her discomfort but to no avail. The passenger even started moving his feet around.

Feeling that he was trying to find a suitable sleeping position, Keng did not want to confront him. However, she was still uncomfortable and, as such, chose to capture the incident on video.

 

Noticing the situation, a flight attendant told him to remove his feet from her armrest, which he did.

In the video, Keng grimaces at the camera before showing the passenger’s feet on the armrest. She then covers her nose with a finger to convey her disgust.
