Dispute Erupts Between Restaurant Owner and Influencer at Rot Fai Park
A public disagreement has emerged between a popular sports influencer and a restaurant owner at Rot Fai Park following a failed collaboration.
A conflict has surfaced between sports influencer Golf Kannalin and the owner of a restaurant located in Rot Fai Park, following a social media post by the influencer alleging mistreatment. According to Khaosod Online, the influencer claimed that she and her team were detained and coerced into posting self-incriminating statements after a dispute regarding working hours.
In response, the restaurant owner provided a conflicting account on October 23, 2026. The owner stated that the arrangement was never a commercial rental. Instead, the owner claims they allowed the influencer’s team to use the space as a courtesy to a running club, specifically to offer canned coffee to runners between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM. The owner alleges that the influencer violated this verbal agreement by bringing in a professional espresso machine and a barista to sell fresh coffee, which competed with the restaurant’s own services, and by setting up in an unauthorized location.
For residents and visitors, this incident highlights the complexities of informal business collaborations in public park spaces. While the influencer has raised concerns regarding safety and professional conduct, the owner maintains that the situation arose from a breach of trust and unauthorized commercial activity. As of now, the conflicting narratives remain unresolved, and it is unclear if any formal legal action will follow. Observers are advised to verify the nature of any commercial agreements when operating in public venues.
