Phonchanok Srisunaklua, a Thai blogger, was detained after uploading a video on YouTube in which she is seen eating an entire bat in a bowl of soup. The soup was made using the carcass and some cherry tomatoes. Phonchanok even described the taste of bat as “wonderful” in the video.
She also compares the dead bat to “eating raw flesh” in the video. The worst moment for most viewers was when the blogger cut the animal apart before soaking it in a hot sauce called Nim Jam and devouring it. The video also shows the blogger saying that the bat had fangs and fragile bones. As the video got viral, netizens were concerned and reported it. Several individuals have stated that consuming and advocating the consumption of such animals may have negative health consequences. People in the comments section also linked eating the bat to the Covid-19 epidemic, citing the virus’s genesis as a similar incidence. According to police reports, the YouTuber faces a 5-year jail sentence. Phonchanok was also fined 500,000 baht (about $13,800).
Netizens reacted to a blogger eating a bat after the video was removed from the channel.
Many individuals on the internet linked the bat-eating occurrence to the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic at the end of 2019. The now-deleted video caused quite a commotion on social media, with many individuals expressing disgust after watching it. One person stated it wasn’t appropriate, while others called it “vile” and “disgusting.”
