Unlucky Gas Station Worker! Man Fills Up Car Then Speeds Off Without Paying, Begging Him to Come Back and Settle the Bill
A man driving a black Honda sedan fled an Udon Thani gas station without paying 1,040 baht for a full tank of 95 octane fuel on May 18, leaving the attendant facing potential salary deduction.
May 18, 2026 – Wongthon Vimlaksorn, 28, legal department head at Sri Plang Energy Company Limited, filed a report with Udon Thani City Police after a motorist pumped a full tank of 95 octane gasoline at the Sri Plang gas station on the Udon Thani-Nong Bua Lamphu Road and fled without paying.
According to Wongthon's account, staff opened the station as usual around 5:03 AM when a man in his 40s driving a black Honda sedan—bearing an Udon Thani license plate—circled the pump once before pulling up. The driver requested a full tank of 95 octane gasoline. The female attendant obliged, filling the tank for 1,040 baht. As she was closing the fuel cap and about to collect payment, the man immediately drove off without paying, even taking the price sign that was positioned in front of his vehicle.
Jitthamas, 35, a gas station attendant with one year of experience earning 12,000 baht monthly, explained: "He lowered his window slightly, asked for a full tank of 95, so I filled it up. He said he'd scan to pay, so I was getting my phone ready when he just drove off. I was shocked and couldn't do anything right. I've never experienced this before. I'd like to tell that car—there's no need to do this. Our station already offers discounted prices, cheaper than competitors. Diesel is 30 satang less, and gasoline is 1 baht cheaper. I don't know what management will say. If they deduct my salary, it'll be tough. I'm hoping he'll come back and pay."
