A video of the “feeding frenzy” emerged online and was heavily criticized by the Thai media.<br /><br />In the controversial video, the tourists seemed desperate to hoard prawns as one woman was seen filling four plates, while others struggle to get what’s left using either their plates or hands. Towards the end of the video, the tourists were seen walking away with several plates filled with the seafood. <br /><br />Watch the shocking video.<br /><br /><center><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rMQwFuCWM-A" width="560"></iframe></center><br />A report claimed that hotel staff were horrified to discover that much of the food taken by the tourists were left uneaten. In fact, several photos showing a huge pile of the wasted food were posted on Twitter.<br /><br /><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><div dir="ltr" lang="en">What a waste: Chinese tourists in <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bangkok?src=hash" rel="nofollow">#Bangkok</a> spotted snatching tons of food in a buffet but left much untouched <a href="https://t.co/X8HMPzNt7S" rel="nofollow">pic.twitter.com/X8HMPzNt7S</a></div>— People's Daily,China (@PDChina) <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%E2%80%9Chttps://twitter.com/PDChina/status/710928949480722433" rel="nofollow">M]arch 18, 2016</a></blockquote><script async="" charset="“utf-8" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></center><br />More than the bizarre behavior, the tourists were blasted for the “shameful” food waste.<br /><br />A certain Facebook user revealed that the appalling behavior of the tourists are commonly seen in a typical Chinese buffet restaurant.<br /><br />He commented: “Chinese people need to be taught basic mannerism, so greedy about everything and rude.”<br /><br />Meanwhile, some Chinese explained that such behavior is not common among Chinese in the mainland.<br /><br />“It is so humiliating! Not all Chinese people act this way. I have to say that most of the mainland Chinese no longer behave like this,” the Chinese commenter wrote.<br /><br />Some commenters on Shanghaiist have suggested that such behavior is brought about by the outrageous price of shrimps in China. One customer claimed that he was asked to pay about $400 for a plate of shrimps. <b>-Mini, The Summit Express</b></div>
