Travel content is an extremely popular niche on the internet, allowing viewers to get a taste of lands far, far away that they normally wouldn\u2019t be able to visit due to expenses, time, or other reasons. However, one travel influencer is coming under fire after her latest trip to Thailand due to the way she worded a message to her viewers. TikTok creator Kat Crittenden might be based out of SoCal, but she\u2019s trotting all over the globe in her videos, often sharing her travel hacks and best places to visit. TikToker slammed for telling fans to \u201cjust book a flight\u201d to Thailand During a recent trip to Thailand, Kat was so completely jazzed about her experience that she felt the need to tell her viewers to hop on a flight and go there straightaway. \u201cWhat are y\u2019all still doing in America?\u201d she said, showing off a picturesque ocean landscape in the background, complete with islands rising out of the sea. \u201cLike, this could be 5:30 on a Thursday night for you if you just book a freakin\u2019 flight.\u201d \u201cLike, come to Thailand!\u201d she continued. \u201cThis should freaking sell you.\u201d Viewers, however, are nonplussed about her argument. Kat\u2019s video has amassed over five million views, and many commenters are claiming they\u2019re simply too \u201cbroke\u201d to make a last-minute trip as she suggests. \u201cI don\u2019t have rich parents,\u201d the top comment reads. \u201cPay for my flight tickets then,\u201d another suggested. \u201cI\u2019ll put living paycheck to paycheck on hold so I can do that. Thanks for the advice,\u201d another wrote. It\u2019s clear that commenters feel Kat is a bit out of touch with the reality of many working-class people \u2014 but she hit back at these sentiments in a follow-up video, claiming that she doesn\u2019t use her parents\u2019 money and didn\u2019t even travel outside the United States until she was 18. This isn\u2019t the first time an influencer has been called out for a similar situation; in August, a TikToker came under fire for complaining that she didn\u2019t get a Lambo as her first car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travel TikToker slammed by \u201cbroke\u201d viewers for telling them to \u201cjust book a flight\u201d TikTok: kathryncrittA travel influencer is getting slammed by viewers on TikTok for telling them to \u201cjust book a freakin\u2019 flight\u201d to Thailand \u2014 but netizens say they\u2019re too \u201cpoor\u201d to drop everything and go.
