In his complaint, Hans Boakim said that he had signed a contract to buy a 114 square metre condo at a cost of 8.45 million baht, which had been fully paid. Construction was to be completed on December 31, 2009, but there had been no handover, he said.
A sub-committee of the Consumer Protection office was told that Mr Boakim had tried to contact management, but there had been no response.
The sub-committee opted to authorise a check on Mr Boakim to make sure his claim was legitimate, and to try to contact Chalong Bay View management.
After the meeting, Phuketwan was able to establish that Phuket resident Gary Ebsen is the newly appointed managing director of Chalong Bay View.
He suggested that Mr Boachim and others who needed an update on the progress of the development contact him at ebseng@yahoo.com
The Damrungtam office, Phuket's equivalent of a European-style Ombudsman, can be found on the ground floor of Provincial Hall, Phuket's administrative headquarters, in Phuket City.
I "own" the penthouse shown right in this picture. If there are any other owners out there please contact Phuketwan or get in touch with me directly.
