Pattaya , 6th November 2014


Sukanya Pecham A criminal case was filed at Pattaya Court on 6th November 2014 against Ms. Sukanya 'Suk' Pechan (สุกัลยา เป๊ะชาญ), who formerly ran a company 'P S Consulting Co. Ltd' in Soi Chaiyapruek 2 in Pattaya.

Black case number 10378/2557 alleging multiple counts of criminal fraud was filed in Pattaya Provincial Court alleging that Ms. Pechan incorporated a new company on behalf of a client on 24th January 2012 to purchase a property in Pattaya, but then on 9th February 2012 registered a KAYFAC loan on the property in the sum of THB 2,916,000 (GBP 56,000) without the knowledge of the client.

The criminal case was filed by lawyer Somsak Chopaka on behalf of a UK expat who had purchased the property as a retirement home for THB 7,500,000 (GBP 144,000).

Court records show that Ms. Pechan and three others have been charged with holding more than 20 company meetings without advising the home owner, and each meeting has four associated criminal charges.

For legal reasons the UK expat cannot be named at this time as Ms. Pechan has filed a defamation charge with Petchaburi police and that matter is now in Petchaburi Court - the charge alleges the client said to a third party Ms. Pechan had taken a loan against the property without his knowledge. The case is being defended under the provisions of s. 330 of the Criminal Code on the basis that a true statement cannot be defamatory.

Ms. Pechan, born in Khon Khaen, now runs three companies in Cha Am, PS Legal Group (Cha Am) Co. Ltd (บริษัท พี. เอส. ลีเกิล กรุ้ป ชะอำ จำกัด), PS Construction and Design and PS Legal One Stop Service Co. Ltd (บริษัท พี. เอส. ลีเกิล วัน สต๊อบ จำกัด ) and is believed to have interests in a number of property developments in the Cha Am area.

Ms. Pechan apparently left Pattaya in July 2013 and set up base in Cha Am, leaving behind offices in Soi Chaiyapruek and also two other offices in Jomtien. Ms. Pechan previously had offices in Soi Buakow in Pattaya. It is believed a number of expats in Pattaya will be interested in contacting Ms. Pechan.

Ms. Pechan was tracked down in Cha Am after Pattaya Provincial Court issued a Writ of Execution in a case filed by John McDonald, black case number 680/56 red case number 1221/56 following a judgement being entered ordering Ms. Pechan to pay McDonald THB 760,000 plus interest, and some of Ms. Pechan's assets have now been frozen by order of Pattaya Court.

Investigations into Ms. Pechan are continuing.

Be wary who you do business with in this country.

I have also heard of two more cases filed allegedly against these companies in Chaam at Petchaburi Court.

Look closely at the backgrounds & Qualifications of people before employing them.

"For legal reasons the UK expat cannot be named at this time…"

"… a case filed by John McDonald…"

Apparently some 'facts' need clarification here. Anyhow, good reminder to keep your wits about you in these kinds of matters.

That was a different case @

iSabai

That has already had a verdict so the person is named.

[Ricohoc]

I know of at least one other in Cha-am. Same scam by the same woman.

Once again an example of why a licensing system for all participants in the real estate industry is sorely needed in this country. A government department to administer this function could be self funding from all the licence fees they would collect ( as in Australia and Singapore ) and in the event of criminal activities it would be the government department that prosecuted the individual rather than the victim of crime needing to pay lawyers fees out of their own pocket in addition to money they would have already lost to the alleged perpetrator.

Also by the fact that the licence would be immediately forfeited for criminal activity it would help other unsuspecting potential victims falling into the same trap.

There is no excuse for Thailand not to have this system in this day and age.

Yes Excellent Idea, but unfortunately, It is what it is at the moment, but Hopefully if not anything more we hope that (Alleged) Unscrupulous people as mentioned in this article can be bought to justice, or at the least be prevented from causing more damage.

This sounds like a personal vendeta by someone operating a private blog. Is there any reputable news source reporting this?

Here is the news source:

As i said a reliable news source. What you are quoting is a blog site. I've seen other threads closed for quoting personal blog sites awaiting stories to be published on dredible news web sites.

[starcad]

Well it Quotes Actual Case Numbers and if you take the time to look at the site it has nothing to do with Personal Vendettas only quoting facts that have either already occurred or are in the courts.

If you are so concerned about it being true or not a simple check of Court records will show that it is accurate.

She didn't turn up in court last time. Maybe with 80 criminal charges against her and a possibility of 20 years in prison she might turn up in Pattaya on 23rd Feb, and pay back the money she owes. If anyone knows her. Tell her she'll need 5 million baht to stay out of jail.

The owner of the property that was KAYFAC'd had to pay 216,000 Baht to keep his own house. Plus he is now paying 54,000 baht per month for the privilege of staying in his own house. He is a 67 year old uk pensioner. Good here init....

Read #15 does that sound like a personal vendetta ?

If you've got nothing positive to add, why don't you keep your nose out of things you obviously don't understand.
