Surf skate order goes wrong
Whether you’re a newbie or an online shopping veteran, you’re bound to get a few off-orders here and there. Yet, it’s not so often that an error would lead to your face appearing on countless screens the next day.
Two weeks ago, owner of the Facebook page Wang Eng shared a funny story about her surfskate order that went wrong. In addition to gaining many laugh reacts from her 80k+ followers, her story landed on several media outlets nationwide, including major news source Channel 3.
An online shopping mishap
It’s a classic online shopping mistake: when the product isn’t the size you’d expect it to be. The product description states the skate to be a second hand toy – beyond the picture – with a jaw-dropping price of about ฿3,000 (~USD98). So excited to be part of the hype, the owner of the page decided to purchase the uber cool surf skate online.

Wang Eng’s facebook post features a collage of the item’s shopping page, the woman’s disappointed face, and herself posing atop the practically-nonexistent skate.
Netizens react to miniscule skateboard
This is where Thailand’s sabai sabai culture really comes into play: while the author did indeed receive a miniscule surfskate instead of the full-sized one she expected, she also posted a comment about how she does not consider the incident ‘scam’ per se, but rather a funny joke.

Translation: This is just a muk pan or boba shake, translated as “gag” in English, everyone.
However, her indifference and effort to try to make it work seemed to make the whole thing all okay and hilarious – so much so that netizen after netizen decided to join the laughter.

Translation: I don’t like boba shake. Can I have green tea shake instead?

Translation: A size this big, be careful you don’t fall and hit your head.
So, rest easy. At the end of the day, it’s just another happy story here to put a smile on your face.
