The Apparent Hoax Of Bangkok’s Hitler Chicken
The infamous Bangkok fast food outlet “Hitler Chicken” continues to make news.
A picture of the outlet was posted on twitter which was re-tweeted so many times, it caused the story to hit headlines, and the Daily Mail even quoted an individual who claimed he had eaten there.
The picture was however considered so legitimate that KFC even sought legal advice whether the sign outside the restaurant breached Thailand trademark law.
However it is now reported that the outlet has either now closed or in fact never really existed in the first place. Those who allege the latter insist the Daily Mail made up the quote it used.
Thailand’s craze with so called “Nazi chic” has caused outrage amonst many western tourists, but Thailand attorneys explain it stems from ignorance of history rather than any intentional malice.
