A heated confrontation between a durian vendor and a customer ignited a firestorm on social media. The vendor went live to harshly criticise a customer from Surin province who complained about receiving spoiled, sour-smelling durians.

The incident began when the customer posted about purchasing a durian for 150 baht from a well-known shop opposite the courthouse. Despite its appealing exterior, the durian was spoiled inside.

The customer attempted to contact the shop but received no response. Frustrated, they commented on a post, pointing out that the durian was inedible. The vendor’s response was a live broadcast, where she expressed her displeasure and generalised that people from Surin only buy cheap products and should not expect high quality for a mere 150 baht.

“I didn’t respond because I didn’t need to. If you want good products, buy expensive ones. You bought something cheap, so don’t expect it to be perfect. No wonder you’re in such a poor state if you can’t afford good food. If you have the means, work hard and you can afford better things.”

The vendor challenged the customer to confront her at the shop.

The incident sparked widespread debate on social media, with many criticising the vendor for her harsh comments and lack of customer service. The Facebook page อีซ้อขยี้ข่าว3 brought the story to light, highlighting the vendor’s aggressive response to the customer’s complaint.

Social media users have expressed their disappointment and anger towards the vendor’s behaviour, calling for better accountability and respect towards customers. Many netizens are advocating for a boycott of the vendor’s shop, urging others to support businesses that treat their customers with respect and courtesy, reported KhaoSod.
