In Thailand, IShowSpeed experienced a number of services and created challenges for themselves, including driving a Tuk Tuk (a covered 3-wheeled vehicle for tourism), riding an elephant, performing fire shows...

This streamer even "almost died" while trying to ride an elephant. He apparently went to a farm where elephants are trained for demonstrations. The YouTuber spent a few minutes interacting with the animal before deciding to ride on its back.

But when the elephant raised its front legs, pulling the ribbon along with it, IShowSpeed struggled to keep his balance and eventually fell. Fortunately, the bodyguard quickly rushed out to catch him, preventing a dangerous accident.

While some people were amused by his humorous personality and loud pranks, others expressed concern. "These jokes are not worth spreading", "Isn't this guy afraid of death?"... were some of the comments online.

Despite the controversy, IShowSpeed's broadcast in Southeast Asia is proving to be quite successful. He has gained about a million subscribers, approaching the 30 million subscriber mark on YouTube and setting a new record for the number of live viewers.

The streamer is known for his passionate personality and IRL streams, where he often walks around exploring the cultures of different countries like India, Korea, Japan, and Portugal. Recently, IShowSpeed traveled to Southeast Asia to participate in a series of supercar-related events.

His live streams and clips on his personal channel documenting his journey in Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam have attracted a lot of attention.

Even Speed himself was surprised that his activities in Southeast Asia received so much attention.

Previously, on the evening of September 14, IShowSpeed - a famous American streamer visited and explored Ho Chi Minh City and livestreamed his entire 3-hour fun experience on his personal YouTube channel.

It is worth mentioning that an electric car rental person on Nguyen Hue Walking Street quoted IShowSpeed 100 USD (equivalent to nearly 2.5 million VND) for one experience.

After hearing the price, many people present there also shouted, protesting the car owner's excessive price. IShowSpeed was also somewhat surprised, wanting to pay 500,000 VND for one experience, but the car owner still charged him 1 million VND.

The American streamer then spent only 5 minutes trying this experience.

Immediately after the incident was spread, Ben Nghe Ward Police (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City) intervened and quickly imposed an administrative penalty on VPQM (23 years old, residing in District 4) - the person who rented the electric vehicle mentioned above.

M. was fined 10 million VND for illegally using urban roads and sidewalks to provide electric vehicle rental services and sell goods of unknown origin. At the same time, M. also had her electric vehicle and the violating vehicle confiscated.

According to the police, the other person appearing in the clip is Mr. H. (M.'s friend). At the time of the incident, he was only translating for M. so he was not prosecuted.

After the incident, two men went to the hotel where streamer IShowSpeed was attending the event to apologize and were accepted by the streamer's representative.
