A group of foreign boys was filmed in Phuket on May 8 allegedly trying to pull down a Thai flag from a roadside sign, sparking backlash online. The footage shows one Israeli student standing on a plastic chair to reach the flag while other boys stood nearby.

Witnesses said the children appeared to be wearing school uniforms and carrying religious items during the incident.
A local resident intervened by shouting at the group after one boy said he wanted the flag.
