Fast food giant apologises for post on its Facebook page urging Thais to hurry home and monitor news with a bucket of chicken as fear gripped the nation
While people in coastal areas rushed to reach higher ground in the wake of a huge earthquake in Indonesia on Wednesday, the KFC Thailand fan page told followers to order a takeaway. “People should hurry home this evening to monitor the earthquake situation and don’t forget to order the KFC menu, which will be delivered direct to your hands,” it said. The post, which was later removed, generated a storm of outrage on Thai web pages.
