Introduction

In a fascinating turn of events, Thailand's so-called "Most Beautiful Fruit Juice Lady," who shot to fame at Bangkok's Jodd Fairs Night Market in 2022, appears to be experiencing a notable shift in both her attitude and business strategy. Once the epitome of diva-like behavior, she became notorious for being unapproachable, often turning down photo requests from patrons who weren’t buying her popular fruit juices and smoothies.

The Rise and Fall of Fame

Her celebrity status backfired last year when her refusal to allow pictures led to widespread criticism. Sources even reported that she resorted to hiring bodyguards to protect her from eager fans seeking a snapshot. However, it seems that a cooling trend in her popularity has brought her back to reality.

A Notable Change

Recently, a user named Kuma from social media platform Xiaohongshu chronicled their visit to her stall on a surprisingly quiet day. Kuma noticed a significant change; the once-guarded fruit juice lady was now open to having her picture taken. “I was openly taking pictures of her and she didn’t bother using an umbrella to block her face anymore,” Kuma shared, hinting at a newfound openness.

Netizens' Reactions

The comments from fellow netizens reflect a growing awareness of her dwindling fame. Observers noted that if she continued to reject photos, she risked losing her remaining clientele. "If she still doesn't allow pictures, she's going to lose all her business," warned one commenter. Another noted the stark contrast in her demeanor, saying, "She even smiles for the photos now. In the past when I saw her, she always had a glum face."

Market Realities

The underlying sentiment suggests that the struggle for survival in the competitive market may have forced her to rethink her approach. "No business, no money to hire bodyguards anymore," pointed out a critical netizen, highlighting how market realities can influence even the most glamorous personas.

Conclusion

As the fruit juice lady strives to regain her former glory, the question remains: will her changes win back loyal customers, or is it too late for a comeback? Only time will tell if this is a transformation grounded in humility or a temporary measure to survive in the bustling marketplace.
