Vanda Sahawong Criticizes Unprofessional Brand Outreach Regarding Daughter's Work

Vanda 'Bow' Sahawong, a well-known Thai public figure, recently took to a live broadcast to express her indignation regarding a business inquiry she received for her daughter, Mali. According to Vanda, a representative for a toothpaste brand contacted her with a proposal that she felt was deeply disrespectful and demeaning.

Vanda recounted that the interaction soured when she attempted to negotiate the terms. After she proposed a slight adjustment to the offer—which she noted was still lower than their initial agreed-upon rate—the representative abruptly ended the conversation with a dismissive message. Vanda criticized the lack of professional etiquette, stating that the brand’s approach felt like an attempt to belittle her rather than engage in a legitimate business partnership. She emphasized that she is not motivated by money, declaring that she would refuse even a multi-million baht offer from the brand due to the perceived lack of respect.

For residents and those following Thai entertainment news, this incident highlights the ongoing discourse regarding professional standards and the treatment of influencers and child stars in the Thai media industry. While Vanda has shared her perspective on the exchange, the identity of the specific agency or brand representative remains unconfirmed, and the company involved has not issued a public response to these allegations.
