Led by Dutch national Jan Cornelis van Zuilekom, the group filed a complaint at the Damrongdhama Centre (Ombudsman’s Office) and met with Governor Chamroen on Thursday (Mar 3).
“Every year, we have to pay a fee to the company so they can use that money to pay for maintenance. However, we want to be sure that management team did not mismanage the fund,” said Mr Zuilekom.
“We asked the company to explain to us how they spend the central fund, but we have never received an answer. In addition, recently some of us have received a notice about lease termination, while others have had their unit utilities cut off. This means they cannot stay in their units as they have no electric or water even though money has been paid to cover the bills,” he added.
“We are speaking out today in the hope that our actions will pressure the company to solve our problems as soon as possible because most of us have limited time in Thailand and are not often in Thailand at the same time,” he added.
“We need to resolve this as soon as possible,” said Gov Chamroen. “I’d like to see this issue resolved within the coming week.”
