Pattaya, 25th October 2014

Following a report on this site last week regarding a Cha Am property developer being named as a defendant in a criminal case  filed at Pattaya Court on 6th October, Ms. Sukanya 'Suk' Pechan (สุกัลยา เป๊ะชาญ), who formerly ran a company 'P S Consulting and Travel Co. Ltd' in Soi Chaiyapruek 2 in Pattaya, has had some of her assets frozen after Pattaya Provincial Court issued an injunction freezing Ms. Pechan's assets in Pattaya.

Following Ms. Pechan being tracked down last month by John McDonald in Cha Am, Pattaya Court issued an order freezing some of Ms. Pechan's assets, including her shareholdings in 'P S Consulting and Travel Co. Ltd' in black case number 680/56 red case number 1221/56 in which the Court ordered Ms. Pechan to pay McDonald THB 760,000 plus interest, which with interest and costs now amounts to over 1.2 million Thai Baht.

Following leaving Pattaya, Ms Pechan has apparently opened a number of offices in Cha Am, and appears to have closed the Pattaya office in Soi Chaiyapruek 2, which now boasts a 'for sale' sign.

Ms. Pechan, born in Khon Khaen, now apparently 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 will face Court in Pattaya on December 8th in black case number 10378/2557, which details almost 100 criminal charges, including holding illegal company meetings, multiple counts of criminal fraud and making and using false documents. The  case was filed in Pattaya Provincial Court and alleges 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 case alleges that Ms.Pechan sold the property with a right of redemption for THB 2,916,000 when the true value of the property was THB 7,500,000 (GBP 144,000).

Following the article on this site, at least three other expats have come forward alleging Ms. Pechan has taken them as investment partners, but has not returned the investments and as a result further Court proceedings seem likely.

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.

Investigations into the activities of Ms. Pechan in Pattaya and Cha Am are continuing.
