This is another intense issue that happened 10 years ago involving the young DJ. Petchja Wichian Kusolmanomai. He still remembers it clearly today after agreeing to open a booth to sell whey protein at The Avenue belonging to Janie Thienphosuwan. At that time, she was operating the 911 by JT fitness center.
But in the end, his staff said that Boom Panadda Wongpudi, who was running Smash Gym nearby, said he was not allowed to sell and had all of DJ Petchja's whey protein products moved out and dumped in the parking lot. This made Petchja furious; he called Janie's mother, but she couldn't resolve it and said Boom intended to sell his own protein products as well.
DJ Petchja went live on TikTok explaining, "Ten years ago, I launched my own brand of whey protein, Wolverine. Back then, I was in every mall. I ventured into fitness centers and got a chance to make a deal with Janie (Janie Thienphosuwan). At that time, Janie was running 911. If anyone knows, you’ll remember.
911 had issues with the foundation owner who claimed they didn’t pay rent. I got the idea to open a booth at 911, and Janie told me to call her mother directly. My whey protein was selling very well, no matter where I went.
So, I called Janie's mother, who gave permission but said there would be a GP split — basically a percentage split. For example, if sales were 1,000 baht, the GP would be 30%, which is 300 baht. For 2,000 baht sales, the GP would be 600 baht per item. We discussed and finalized the business terms.
You need to know that Janie was the sole owner and tenant of The Avenue. Around there were various shops. I set up the booth with my staff and Uncle Nit, if I recall correctly. Friends might know Uncle Nit, who is my driver and has been with me for over ten years.
This whole issue triggered me when, two days ago, while sitting in the car watching news, Uncle Nit said, "That woman is very fierce." I was puzzled why he suddenly said that about a woman.
He explained, "Hey Petch, 10 years ago, she chased me out like something." That really struck a nerve because even my driver remembers that day vividly.
That day was the first we agreed to open a shop in Janie's Avenue to sell whey protein. My staff woke up at 9 a.m. to set up the booth, which was decorated with my pictures on all the containers and boxes. They finished setting up by noon.
Then, in the afternoon, my staff called with a trembling voice saying, "Boss, all our products have been moved and dumped in the parking lot." I was confused. Hadn’t they finished setting up? Why were they in the parking lot? They said, "We finished setting up, but Boom ordered all our products removed and dumped in the parking lot, saying we were not allowed to sell here."
I was furious. We knew each other and had worked together. My products had my pictures everywhere, and the booth was all decorated with my images. To have them removed and dumped like that — if it were us and a celebrity’s products were misplaced, at least someone would have contacted the staff to discuss it. But there was no contact whatsoever, just dumping everything in the parking lot. My staff didn’t know what to do, just young and timid.
So, I called Janie's mother and said, "Hey, this is happening." She admitted she couldn't resolve it either. No one could at that moment. I was angry — just a call out of courtesy would have been enough. I didn’t understand what right they had to take my products and dump them in the parking lot. They weren’t the venue owners, and the actual owner had already agreed to the GP arrangement with me. Doing this was disrespectful to the elders.
I called Janie's mother again; she said Boom claimed he would be selling his own protein and therefore did not allow mine inside. I thought, is there really someone like this in the world? So, I decided to forget it and sell elsewhere. I told her, "It's okay, don’t worry." That was the end of it for me.
I want to say it’s impossible they didn’t know these were my products because my pictures were everywhere. No matter whose product it is, no one has the right to remove and dump another’s goods in the parking lot. It’s absolutely unacceptable."
