A two-way mirror is in the form of a glass that is clearly visible from the inside and a mirror from the outside.
According to Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, a netizen shared a two-way mirror video installed in the men's bathroom at the Thai theme park Dream World Bangkok.
It is a structure in which a man who urinates can see people outside getting their hair and makeup done.
The video shows some female passers-by stopping to check their clothes, hair and makeup in what appears to be a normal mirror.
There is also a scene in which two men in the bathroom pee and look at women as if they are having fun.
The two-way mirror was first installed in 2019, according to the Daily Mail, and it is unclear if it is still in use.
The theme park's director of operations, Tawat Yamkasem, said "It's to provide a fun experience for everyone."
He said "Bathroom windows are made of special glass, so people inside can see outside, and the outside is just a mirror where visitors can see themselves."," he said.
The video went viral online and received more than 13.4 million views and more than 36,000 'likes' as soon as it was posted.
However, criticism continued over privacy and gender discrimination.
Netizens are saying that "It's disgusting because it feels extremely misogynistic and insulting"", "It's about to be sued"", "Do we have to look outside while defecating?" show a reaction of the back.
A similar situation has occurred in China in the past.
In 2021, a bar in Guangzhou installed two-way mirrors in women's bathrooms so that male customers in VIP rooms could watch as they fixed their female customers' appearance.
It was removed by the competent authorities in the wake of the controversy.
