Senator Porntip Rojanasunan was confronted and asked to leave a sushi restaurant in Reykjavik, Iceland, by a Thai man claiming ownership, who stated she was "not welcome."
The man, identified as "Ari Alexander" on Facebook, livestreamed his drive to the restaurant and the confrontation, accusing Porntip of having "damaged Thailand tremendously."
The incident is widely believed to be a reaction to Porntip's public opposition to the Move Forward party's campaign to review Thailand's lèse-majesté laws and her abstention from voting for their leader.
The man's video went viral, sparking mixed public reactions before his Facebook page was closed; Senator Porntip made no public comment on the incident itself.
