American YouTuber IShowSpeed is popular for his controversial videos. After turning heads with his review of a robot dog worth Rs 84 lakh, the flamboyant streamer is making waves in Thailand.
In a viral video, IShowSpeed is seen attempting to drive a three-wheeler called Tuk-Tuk and crashing it into a temple wall. The YouTuber also bumps his head in the accident. He holds his head in pain after jumping out of the vehicle.

In another video, IShowSpeed and his group are seen bowing down in front of a monk and apologising for crashing the Tuk-Tuk into the temple wall. “I’ll pay for all this stuff,” he said in the video.

Social media users thronged the comment section to share their reactions to the viral video. An X user wrote, “Funny thing is that the brakes work exactly the same with stick.. all you have to do is press the brakes and the car will stop.”
Another user criticised the YouTuber, “These streamers really, just go to these countries, act like total idiots, disrespect their culture, and damage their property. Nice.”
“We know speed is gonna get arrested anytime in his tour,” a third user said.
On the first day of his Thailand tour, IShowSpeed fell off an elephant. As the elephant’s handler directed the animal to stand on its hind legs, the sudden movement threw the YouTuber off his balance.
Born Darren Watkins Jr, IShowSpeed shot to global recognition with his live gaming streams and reaction videos. In June, he hit 22 million subscribers on YouTube. He has over 23 million Instagram followers.
