A tourist noticed something strange — many people have their right leg bandaged

This observation was shared on the platform "X" by the account "DarkWeb Haber", and the post quickly attracted widespread attention, garnering over 1.9 million views. In the comments, people were quick to explain that the reason is quite mundane — hot exhaust pipes of scooters and motorcycles. In Thailand, scooters are a very common means of transportation, and they are often rented by tourists. Inexperienced riders, especially those wearing shorts, often accidentally touch the hot exhaust pipe when getting off the vehicle. Since many scooters have the exhaust pipe on the right side, it is the right leg that most often gets burned. Several commentators also shared personal experiences. One user admitted that they received a very painful burn by placing their right leg on the ground. A Turkish tourist who went on vacation to Thailand wondered why so many people in the country have only their right leg bandaged. https://t.co/DlDf9OT24Q— DarkWeb Haber (@darkwebhaber) October 20, 2026
