The tourist also uploaded another TikTok video on Apr. 17, which showed her taking off her mask on the train, swinging it around and throwing it away, then proceeding to dance on the train.

She also called on her audience to follow her action as it is "crazy" to wear a mask in Bangkok's hot weather.

Netizens call for her arrest

Many TikTok users reacted angrily to her videos, criticising the tourist for her lack of respect and manners.

Some Japanese netizens said that she was Korean, on her Apr. 17 video, while a few users also called for her arrest.

According to Thai media Khaosod English the government has currently imposed a ban on the use of water guns for Songkran in light of the country's Covid-19 situation.

Masks are also still required to be worn in public with repeat offenders facing a fine of up to 20,000 baht (S$800) for repeat offences, according to The Thaiger.

Apologises for her actions in five different languages

The tourist subsequently apologised for her actions in a video uploaded on Apr. 19.

She clarified that she was of mixed Japanese-Korean descent and apologised for using her favourite Cambodian song in one of the earlier videos.

She said:

"I apologise for splashing water on many people, and not wearing the mask on the train. I'm really sorry to everyone living in Thailand and I am of mixed (descent) -- Korea father and Japanese mother. I also used my favourite Cambodian song too."

The tourist then reiterated her apology to people living in Thailand, Japanese, Koreans and Cambodians, and said "I am so sorry" in English, Thai, Japanese, Korean and Cambodian.

@shizu0405fc3I'm so sorry. ฉันขอโทษค่ะ 申し訳ありませんでした。정말로 죄송합니다. ខ្ញុំសុំទោស♬ オリジナル楽曲 - おしず
