Where can I find the most crowded fitness members in the kingdom, or even in the world?
Where can I see no good-conditioned fitness equipments in the kingdom, or event in the world?
Where can I feel that my money never be value for money?
All answer you can find is at California Wow Experience fitness in Thailand.
I became its member late last year. Day one I paid for all-life membership, I could not sleep in following night as I though that I must be my big mistake in life.
Time already proved it's true.
End of June, the Ratchoyothin Club-which is near my residence, announced that it closed along with several branches.
Some of outstanding branches, which CaWow claimed that they were still operating, cannot open as power and water supply are cut by the rental service providers.
Lately, Major Cineplex Group Plc and four other mall operators - Siam Future Property Co, Siam Future Development Public Co, Petchpinklao Co, and Ratchayothin Realty Co, defended that they have every right to cut the power supply to some of California Wow Xperience (CAWOW) clubs.
In a joint statement, Major Cineplex said that CAWOW has failed to honour the rental contracts, unable to pay the rents and utilities fees.
The statement was issued as CAWOW, a fitness-club operator, is prepared to file lawsuits, pressuring for damage claims of Bt370 million from the five mall operators, following the power cut-off. CAWOW said that the landlords’ actions damaged its business and that of its spa sub-tenant.
Major Cineplex Group, a former large shareholder in CAWOW, has majority ownership of three of the named landlords, and according to the Stock Exchange of Thailand website, also owns 23.32 per cent of a fourth landlord, Siam Future Development.
In the statement, Major Cineplex also said that the five mall operators have paid utilities bills worth over Bt50 million on behalf of CAWOW. As such, actions to limit damage do not violate the laws.
All the mall operators also apologised to CAWOW members for the inconvenience.
At the end of 2011, CAWOW which operated 10 branches had 144,467 members
