A video of a car full of rubbish and cockroaches in a parking lot in Bangkok sent shudders of horror through social media.
The clip was first posted on TikTok by user @hotwave_ploy. It showed the interior of the car full of rubbish and hundreds of cockroaches, and sparked widespread horror, curiosity and speculation online.
The man who posted the video said he was with his girlfriend when they parked their car in the lot on Saturday. As they were getting out, he noticed there was something unusual in the car parked next to them, but could not see what.
He looked closer and realised with horror that the car was full of rubbish and cockroaches. He took a video, zooming in on the bugs moving around in the car.
The video quickly spread online. Many viewers wondered if it was real or digitally altered. Some said maybe the owner was dead inside the car.
Most found it horrifying.
However, the poster said afterwards that when he returned later that day the car was gone. Presumably, the owner had driven it away.
What the video below if you dare.
