A tourist was shocked when he saw a truck with a Nazi swastika painted on the back in Thailand.

The vehicle was carrying construction debris when it was seen hurtling along a road in the capital Bangkok last Thursday evening May 4. It then joined the motorway.

A black swastika on a white circle and red background was painted on the back - the emblem of the German socialist party responsible for slave labour, starting a world war, and the Holocaust.

The horrified passerby said: "I was surprised when I saw this and then angry. The owner should be aware of what the image represents, or somebody would almost certainly of told him. I tried to follow the truck to confront the driver but I lost sight of it."

Campaigners have previously complained about the lack of education in Asia around historical events, leaving many of the inhabitants in a state of ignorance.

In 2018, a love hotel in Thailand was decorated with murals of Hitler and swastikas while adult movies played on TV screens.

While in 2019, locals in SS uniforms posed in front of a Christmas display sponsored by Mastercard in Bangkok.

However, the swastika is a symbol of good luck and prosperity in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain countries such as Thailand, Nepal, and India.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper from the Simon Wiesenthal Center said: 'One thought for all Thai people is to reflect on, is that the Nazi racist ideology detested all people of color. So do today's Nazis.'
