Bangkok bar looking for 'nice' customer from S'pore who left without transferring payment for drinks
A bar in Bangkok is looking for a customer from Singapore who ordered drinks but left without completing his payment.
Stomper Thana shared a photo of an iPhone showing someone using a bank app to transfer a payment of 485 baht or S$19.30 via Thai payment system PromptPay on May 5.
The person appeared to be using a DBS account and his name is Jordan.
The Stomper said: "Our bar called Hit The Road has just been opened for less than a month.
"A nice customer from Singapore ordered drinks and showed his phone to our newbie staff to indicate that payment had been made.
"But he did not click transfer."
It is unclear whether it was intentional or the customer forgot.
The bar staff member responsible offered to pay for the drinks himself.
The Stomper said: "My worker asked me to deduct from his salary. That is almost his whole day's wage."
But the customer is the one who should pay.
"I wonder if there is a way to track him," said the Stomper.
"I want to send him a voucher. If he comes back and pays for the drinks, I will buy him a round of drinks."
Hit The Road is located at 1208 Song Wat Road in the Samphanthawong district near the Chao Phraya River.
If you know who the customer is, kindly contact Stomp at stomp@sph.com.sg or WhatsApp 9384 3761.

Singapore-registered supercar owners fined for parking illegally in Thailand, Asia News
The owners of four Singapore-registered sports cars have been fined 500 to 1,000 baht (S$19 to S$40) each for parking illegally in Phuket, Thailand, according to multiple Thai media reports on Wednesday (June 4). Footage of the four vehicles illegally parked by a road outside a high-end restaurant in Phuket began trending on Wednesday on social media platform Line and Facebook pages, according to Thai publication Thaiger. Among the four, one of the cars was marked with a sticker that read "GTR Owners Club Singapore", The Phuket News reported. They were parked on a road with red and white lines, which is prohibited in Thailand. Locals expressed outrage over the vehicles' owners' flouting of traffic laws, prompting officers to react. Officers from the Phuket City Police Station responded, clamping the vehicles and handing fines to their owners who are believed to be tourists, Thai publication Khaosod reported. They were later instructed to shift their vehicles away to prevent obstruction of traffic, The Phuket News reported. Following this incident, a Thai influencer's post on Facebook showing the four Singapore-registered supercars went viral. As at Friday afternoon, the post has garnered over 10,300 likes. In the video, four Nissan GTRs can be seen lined up by the side of the road as the person recording the video turns the corner. "Why do all cars of this mode have to have wheel locks like this?" the influencer cheekily captioned the video. Many Facebook users also expressed their frustration towards the purported foreigners, with one user commenting: "The most disgusting thing is being a foreigner and not respecting Thai law." However, others felt that the fine of 1,000 baht is too lenient for these owners, with some suggesting that it would be more of a "parking fee" to them. "It's just pocket change... for these people," one user said. Another stated: "The fine is considered a parking fee, no need to waste time looking for a parking spot." [[nid:718749]] khooyihang@

Shopee responds after pet owner says deliveryman slammed window on senior dog
A Singapore pet owner shared her distress after a delivery incident allegedly caused injury to her senior dog. Instagram user @graceey.t shared a post on May 30 detailing a distressing incident involving her senior dog and a deliveryman. She claimed that the delivery worker, while delivering a Shopee parcel to her unit, slammed the sliding window on her dog, Bobby, after it barked at him. She said this act resulted in bleeding in her dog's mouth, and that even a week later, she was still finding traces of blood. She expressed frustration that Shopee had repeatedly assigned the same delivery personnel to her unit despite her complaints and said she wasn't asking for the delivery personnel to be fired, but simply wanted him reassigned to ensure her dog's safety. Stomp understands the incident involved a Jack Russell Terrier - a highly active breed known for its energy. When the delivery personnel approached the unit, the dog lunged forward and barked at him. The courier, who is in his 50s and has over a year of delivery experience, instinctively closed the window to prevent the dog from jumping at him. While this reaction might have been meant to protect himself, it may have unintentionally caused the injury. In response to a Stomp query, a Shopee spokesperson said they have reached out to the buyer to acknowledge the seriousness of the concern raised. "Our logistics partner has taken steps to ensure the matter is addressed constructively, including making arrangements for the reassignment of the delivery partner involved," a spokesperson said. "We are taking this as an opportunity to review our customer support and service partner training to better manage sensitive situations. "Shopee is committed to providing a safe and respectful experience for all users, and we appreciate the feedback that helps us continue to improve." In an update, the Instagram user thanked netizens for reading and reposting her story and confirmed that Shopee has reviewed the case and addressed the issues. "I'm grateful that necessary actions have been taken and they're finally making things right after the most frustrating two months of 2025 for my family and I."

Singaporean businessman arrested at Bangkok airport for alleged $200k tax evasion
A Singaporean businessman was arrested at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport on suspicion of tax evasion amounting to over 5 million baht (S$197,550), said Thai police in a Facebook post on Wednesday (June 4). David Liu, 71, was arrested after a complaint by Thailand's Revenue Department against media analytics company Isentia Monitoring Services, where he had worked as a director from July 1 to Oct 30, 2015, reported The Straits Times. According to the Facebook post by Thailand's Central Investigation Bureau, the company was found to have reported zero sales, purchase, and net tax obligations, despite generating business revenue — indicating incorrect tax filings. Further investigation into the value-added tax filings of the company revealed that the total damages to the state were close to 5.24 million baht, the police added. An investigation officer from the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD) had issued a summons for the company's directors to acknowledge the charges, but they received no response, which led to suspicions of evasion. An arrest warrant for Liu was subsequently issued by the Phra Khanong Criminal Court, reported The Thaiger. According to the Bangkok Post, Liu was detained on June 3 at the immigration checkpoint of Suvarnabhumi Airport as he prepared to return to Singapore. Liu denied the charges during questioning but admitted to previously holding an authorised director position at Isentia. Liu faces a fine of up to 200,000 baht and a seven-year prison term if found guilty of charges relating to tax evasion. [[nid:718606]]
