Thai customer overpays 257 baht for 25 baht product, but vendor refuses refund

A Thai woman recently filed a police complaint against a vendor who allegedly would not refund an accidental overpayment of 257 baht for a 25 baht product. The woman, who was attempting to transfer the correct amount, accidentally entered 257 baht into her banking application. She confronted the female vendor with a video recording her efforts to recover the excess amount.

The vendor claimed that the money had not yet arrived in her account through a digital payment app called Mae Manee, which was scheduled to transfer the funds at 2am. The woman refused the vendor's offer to deduct the overpayment from her next purchase, insisting on a direct refund. She later removed the video from her TikTok account, and subsequent Facebook news pages claimed she received her money back after making a police complaint, though the woman and police officers have not confirmed this.

A similar incident occurred in Chon Buri last January, where a noodle vendor also refused to refund a customer who accidentally transferred 1,260 baht instead of 140 baht.
