Thai Dessert Vendor Claims Fraud in Unsettled Market Deal Picture courtesy of KhaoSod In a recent case of alleged fraud, a Thai dessert vendor has accused a market vendor at Nonthaburi's Save One Market of failing to pay for desserts worth 3,800 baht. Anusara, a 31-year-old homemaker and dessert maker, reported the incident to the police on May 5 after investing in the preparation of 470 boxes of Thai desserts for Phornchanok, a 25-year-old vendor.

Report Thai Dessert Vendor Claims Fraud in Unsettled Market Deal
Picture courtesy of KhaoSod In a recent case of alleged fraud, a Thai dessert vendor has accused a market vendor at Nonthaburi's Save One Market of failing to pay for desserts worth 3,800 baht. Anusara, a 31-year-old homemaker and dessert maker, reported the incident to the police on May 5 after investing in the preparation of 470 boxes of Thai desserts for Phornchanok, a 25-year-old vendor. The transaction unfolded after Phornchanok contacted Anusara via Facebook on May 3 to place an order. Anusara was instructed to deliver the sweets on May 4 with the promise of immediate payment. However, upon delivery, Phornchanok delayed payment, citing various excuses and promising settlement by 5 pm. When Anusara could not reach Phornchanok post-delivery, she retrieved the desserts and filed a complaint with Pak Kret Police Station. Anusara's trust in Phornchanok stemmed from a successful transaction at the end of April, where Phornchanok had paid a deposit and settled the balance on delivery. This time, Phornchanok assured Anusara that she would transfer a deposit by midnight, but the funds never arrived. After leaving the desserts with an employee at Phornchanok’s stall and failing to secure payment, Anusara learned of Phornchanok's reputed questionable dealings. Apparently, Phornchanok, formerly an employee at the market, had opened her own competing shop and possibly used deceitful methods to acquire goods without investment. In related details, Arif, a partner in a nearby restaurant, also hired Phornchanok recently, unaware of her activities. He noted discrepancies in sales and stock during her employment, suspecting her involvement after her frequent encouragement for other employees to leave and join her rival business. Arif, who hired Phornchanok to fill a staffing gap without a damage deposit, plans to scrutinize the restaurant’s accounts for irregularities linked to her time there. Should he uncover any wrongdoing, he intends to pursue legal action and stressed his establishment's non-involvement with Phornchanok's actions. Both Anusara and Arif remain cautious and hope for legal recourse to resolve the issues caused by Phornchanok's actions. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-05-06 -

British passport renewal in Bangkok
I just renewed my British passport using VFS Global in Bangkok. It took eleven weeks. A mate did his at the same time and it took nine weeks. In the UK, they used to renew passports in Liverpool, but now they do this in Corby. Think this might be the main problem, as they were unaware that we have to retain our passports in Thailand, thus the reason for photo coping all pages. In the end, I had to sign a paper saying I would return my lost passport if I found it. Sent many emails, but each team did not seem to realise what had gone on before. Reckon this will be my last passport renewal before I die, thank God. What a nightmare. -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
The consumption stats on BYD vehicles, like my Atto Extended Range, definitely use some BYD magic math....must have an algorithm that does "not" count or adjusts for certain electrical/battery electron usage. Kinda like cherry picking of stats. I've had my Atto Extended Range with 60.48KwH battery now for a little over 18 months and little over 39,000 Km (time to go schedule the 40,000Km checkup since it needs to be done plus or minus 1,000km of 40,000km or at 24 months plus or minus one month....whichever comes first) and have done a LOT of evaluation/tracking of electron usage to include using a lot of OBD2 data that gives a lot of detail. Even with all this evaluation/tracking my Atto has left me mystified at times in trying to figure out how BYD "figures" some of their electron usage stats. Like my Atto's consumption reading per 100Km has ranged from 12.6 to 12.8Kwh depending on the time of year. During the cooler part of the year it's 12.6Kwh..and during the hot part of the year like now it's 12.8Kwh. Now I'm talking the consumption readout/stats you get when going in the big/center dash display Energy section; I'm not talking the constantly changing KwH usage as you drive along on the speedometer display. I do think the speedometer display reflecting real time KmH usage is accurate but the comsumption info in the center display usage magic math/cherry picking math in my opinion. Now if I divide 12.6 into 60.48 (my battery is a 60.48KwH battery) that equates to 4.8......multiply 100Km times 4.8 and I get a range of 480Km which also just happens to be the Atto's NEDC range 480KmH. And whenever I charge to 100% with the range estimation set to Standard mode I get 480KmH range readout each and every time...not 479 or less or 481 or more....always exactly 480KmH in Standard range mode. Now set it to Dynamic mode and I get a range estimate of 490 to 495 at 100% charge which is also a pie-in-the-sky estimate. And if using 12.8 that equates to 472KmH range. 472, 480 and 49XKmH range estimate are "in your dream" estimates....probably possible if driving "without" A/C, in ECO mode, driving very conservatively, no headwind, and minimizing/avoiding any stop-and-go traffic jam and over 90KmH driving....that is, perfect driving conditions. I expect even if the battery's SOH was 70%,a 100% charge would still give me a 480KmH range reading in Standard range mode when charged to 100% although the "real-world range" will be significantly less. Like real-world I get a range of 420 to 442KmH if staying below 90KmH and also avoiding Bangkok horrendous traffic where a ton of stop and go is involved....both exceeding 90KmH and doing a lot of slow, red light stop-and-go driving eats significantly more electrons than cruising along between 30-90KmH.....I think for the Atto around 50-80KmH is its sweet spot for best range. Best range is during the cooler part of the year; worst range during the hottest part of the year. I drive conservatively, in ECO mode, and A/C set to 22C. And I think a lot of people think a lot of red-right, slow driving will give the best range...oh no, it will not as it takes more energy to get a vehicle moving from a dead stop compared to already moving....and also regen braking typically is not engaged at around 15KmH or less like you would experience is stop-and-go, really slow moving traffic like often found on many big city roads. Yeap, BYD uses magic math for some of its electron usage stats....cherry picking to make energy use look really good on the surface but is not really experienced in real world driving. And it really not just BYD doing this as all car/truck manufacturers, EV and ICEV, give range stats obtain in laboratory type driving conditions and not real world driving conditions. Preaching to the choir I know. ... -
