Would all you Phoenix Club members that have not received your notices for the AGM on September 1st at Phoenix clubhouse at 11:00am and want to attend (or pass on your proxy to someone who will) please contact Phoenix and let them know you have not received the notice as it would be nice to have a REAL GOOD turnout for this meeting to pass on to the new board exactly how we feel about being shut out from our (paid for) club.

Just received by registered post notification of the Phoenix AGM to be held at the clubhouse on September 1st at 11:00. Better get your demands ready!

Update FYI:

From 300 complaint forms received by CPB Bangkok, the first batch of 50 have been checked, verified and passed to board level for a decision to proceed to court.

This decision is expected to be known by August 15th.

Please find below the 3 items requested.

1. Copy of passport photo page signed.

2. Power of attorney.

3. Baht 200

If you do not have access to the Phoenix Members Action Group where the Power of Attorney form etc. are available, PM me and I will forward it to you.

Would those members of Phoenix Golf & Country Club ( in excess of 200 ) who supplied their details for the original case with the Pattaya Consumer Protection Board, please forward the updated requirements for the Bangkok Consumer Protection Board as they want to start legal proceedings ASAP. (ie straight away Ladies & Gentlemen)

I do realize that it is in part a duplication of the previous documents, but TIT. And the "Power Of Attorney" is required by them to act on our behalf as we are not actually "employing" them.

Things moving, albeit Thai style.

If you require assistance in doing so, please let me know.

Gentlemen, I'm away travelling but will be back at the end of this week.

Ha, somebody is starting a rumour. Isn't Thailand notorious for facts rumours.

With the Bangkok Consumer Protection Board (CPB) taking on the members grieviences, would members who have not sent details to Ian Nicolson please do so ASAP.

FYI:

Find below as outlined, the result of a case in a Bangkok Court received just a week ago.

“A golf club in Bangkok sold 30 years memberships for the price of 500,000 Baht and gave the members written Rules and Regulation which stated, among others, that the members could always play for free and that by signing for receipt of these Rules and Regulations the members accepted to obey any future rules.

After the golf course was completed and the costs for maintenance were higher than expected the owner changed the Rules and Regulation so, that the members had to pay a green fee of 240 Baht per 18 holes round of golf. The owner said, that the members had to accept this because they had signed to obey any future rules.

The members did not accept this and went to Court saying that they had the right to play for free and this right could not be violated or changed unilaterally and with future rules is only meant rules related to the technical use of the course.

The Court accepted the member’s concept and so did the Court of Appeal.”

So also Phoenix cannot violate or unilaterally change our rights.

It would seem with recent dealings with the management of Phoenix that they are determined to drag out affairs as long as possible. The saving grace on members part is that they have the law on their side and management are attempting to subvert existing members entitlements. The only fly in the ointment is that, by members paying the Baht 24,000 fee, they agree to all of the new stipulations including loss of lifetime member status etc. So, members do be aware of your entitlements.

I see the marketing campaign for the vacant Phoenix lots has appeared and the prices have risen.

1 rai B 5,950,000 – 2 rai B 11,700,000

Phoenix Golf Club has recently been bought and overtaken by new owners which has seen impressive and immediate upgrading work commencing on the club house, golf courses and surrounding area, it does not need us to explain the value and potential of this beautiful plot of land that is positioned facing the course.

Facing the Golfing greens
Good plot sizes
Great location for living or renting
Expensive houses already exising within the complex
Only 15 mins drive to the beaches and city

If you are serious about owning a house on the golf course then you must consider these plots â they dont come up every day!

The post 1 and 2 Rai Land Plots for Sale in Phoenix Golf Pattaya – Sales Price from 5,950,000 THB appeared first on Thailand Property.

Even with ongoing communications between our group and the GM of Phoenix, he was "neglectful" in passing on the information of a further case against Phoenix accepted by the Consumer Protection Board in Bangkok. Contact is underway with a view to co-operation.

FYI Phoenix members:

With Songran ceasing at the weekend and people returning to work, meetings are being set up with the Consumer Protection Board and the GM for the latter part of next week.

The campaign continues ......

Condolences to the residents of Phoenix Golf & Country Club who it appears are having their maintainance fees doubled without any benefits in return.

How is the day to day life in Phoenix these days?

The subtle difference you pointed out andreask90 seems to have been passed over or ignored by some contributors to this forum.

With the "rule of law" on our side it IS a matter of time. TIT

Your time of month again I see Thaijett.

Are you not taking the menstrual medicine as prescribed?

The management of Phoenix Gold Golf & Country Club are still dragging their heels after the board met at the start of March to decide on the validity of members and their rights. This is especially disappointing in the light of their legal representative stating that once proof of membership was established, decisions would be swift.
It would seem that the board is not interested in the members or their rights.

NEWSFLASH !!

"It would seem that the board is not interested in the members or their rights."

What a fine grasp of the bleeding obvious you have struck on there.

Where to from here ?? Perhaps, some name calling & teeth gnashing !!

Remember folks, you heard it here first !! (or not)

Something is missing from the enclosed section of the Thai-Ger map detailing all of the golf courses in the Chonburi-Rayong area. I wonder what?

"

What was the percentage of Farang, Japanese, Korean and Thai and other membership docs that were submitted from a membership of 1300 aprox? "

The submission of details from our group numbered 310. Of these approx. 280 were foreign, 4 Korean and the remainder Thai.

There were additional submissions from a Thai members group and a Korean business group.

Thanx for the update Polar V. Talking to other group members that used to frequent Phoenix, it seems the short-time tourists are the main visitors.

Has the state of the Ocean course improved or is it still in need of restoration?

Thanx for that Fisherman, good to know, but are any of the Phoenix residents keeping an eye on things?

Those of you that are residents of Phoenix, how busy is the course these days?

Update:

To date 208 sets of members documents have been forwarded to both the CPB and Phoenix management. The CPB have called the Phoenix GM for an informative meeting on either the 12th or 13th February to be followed by a further meeting by the 20th February between all parties and their legal advisors.

Correlated details of membership as supplied by the interested members have been forwarded to Phoenix management and the Consumer Protection Board. Once the details have been verified and matched to the original shareholders we will have movement. It seems that while SCB were in charge that few of the changes in share ownership were registered.
