Yellowstone tourist video prompts fierce Thai social media witch-hunt

The apparent trespass was recorded by a non-Thai who posted the video clip online.
In response, a Thai Facebook page called “Social hunter1” has published photos of members of the group along with data from their social media accounts, accompanied by threats of a “witch-hunt”. 

“I am not going to just let things go with such kinds of people. Even if you are going to close your Facebook account, I am going to dig deep into your lives. In fact, I don’t want to engage in a witch-hunt. But this time, I must do it,” a recent post on the page read.
The post has attracted many comments, most of them ridiculing and attacking the tourists, who apparently ventured into an off-limits area of the park unknowingly. The original video shows a warning sign saying the area was dangerous, but the sign was small and poorly displayed.
Some commentators have posted they had used chat functions to lash out at the group. 
But others have objected to the apparent witch-hunt. “Think about the huge stress the cyberbullying victims will have to endure. What if they become depressed? Do you want to see them commit suicide? … What if one day you too do something stupid out of ignorance, just like in this case?” one person wrote.
Nukool Moolchot, one of the Thai tourists depicted in the video clip, said members of his group had been shaken by the social media witch-hunt so he was trying to explain what had happened.

In reaction, Pongsuk Hiranprueck, a wellknown host of various IT shows, has said he stopped being angry about the incident after Nukool provided explanations about the incident. 
According to Nukool, his group had followed a group of Westerners who had already been in the same area.
He also said they immediately left the area after a Westerner shouted a warning. 

Pongsuk said: “[Nukool’s] aunts are not good at English. That’s why she even said ‘from Thailand’ in front of the camera. She tried to be friendly.” He said Nukool felt the person who took the video clip was being racist and violated their privacy in recording just his group and not the Westerners.
Pongsuk said: “He admitted feeling angry, and failed to find the proper words to request that the foreigner delete the clip.”
However, the administrator of another Facebook page, “1412 Cardiology Page”, said the group should have studied the park rules before their visit. 
“Don’t just say you don’t know. We have to help conserve natural heritage no matter which places we visit,” he said. “And if no one asks you, don’t shout out the name of your country.”
