Five Indians and One Burger: Viral Clip Shows New Low for ‘Cheap Charlie’ Tourists

Pattaya, Thailand – A new viral video has sparked amusement and disbelief across social media, appearing to show five Indian tourists sharing a single burger. The clip, which has drawn comparisons to earlier viral moments involving “four Indians and one beer” and “four Indians and one ice cream,” has been labeled by some commenters as the latest example of extreme budget travel among certain groups of foreign visitors.

In the video, the five men can be seen gathered around a small table, carefully dividing a single burger among themselves. While no laws were broken, the scene has reignited debate in Thai online circles about frugal tourist behavior, with some dubbing the group “cheap Charlies” for their apparent reluctance to order individual portions.

Local vendors and residents have expressed mixed reactions, ranging from humor to frustration. “You see many groups sharing food to save money,” said one street seller who declined to be named. “But five people for one burger—that is a new record.”
As of now, the location and exact date of the incident remain unconfirmed. The video continues to rack up views and comments, with many calling it the inevitable follow-up to previous viral moments of extreme food sharing among tourists.
