A travel blogger who was criticised for posting a photo walking on train tracks in front of a moving train in Thailand has apologised for “promoting danger” on her Instagram.
Patricia, who runs the Instagram page One Ocean Away, posted a photo walking on rail tracks at the famous Maeklong Railway Market in Bangkok with her face turned towards an oncoming train.
The market is known for having a train pass directly through its centre – and the way in which traders quickly pack up their stalls each time the locomotive approaches has become somewhat of a tourist attraction in itself.
As reported by The Sun, after posting the daring photo to her 30,000-plus followers, Patricia was bombarded with comments calling the image “irresponsible” and “inappropriate”.
