A buyer of an 11.6 million baht condominium paid a 100 000 bahts reservation fee, then 2,810,780 baht eight days after signing, and later defaulted. An arbitrator let the developer keep all of it as earnest money (มัดจำ). In Dika 1511/2569 the Supreme Court set the award aside: the 100,000 baht was a true deposit under Article 377 of the Civil and Commercial Code, but the 2.8 million was paid après the contract and was far too large a share of the price to be security — it was part-payment, and treating it as forfeitable was contrary to public order sous Section 40(3)(b) of the Arbitration Act B.E. 2545.
