I visited California WOW Esplanade today May 5th, and they are now closed for good.
Last week I was urged to pay my yearly renewal fee of 2888 baht. This is totally unfair since they closed only a week later. Does anyone know where and when they are giving our refunds?
Their paper reads:
Attention: All members
It is with our deepest regret that we can no longer continue to keep the CAWOW Esplanade club operational.
Effective May 10th, 2013 the club will be closed for workouts. We would like to thank all members for your loyalty throughout our difficult situation.
We hope that CAWOW has mad ea positive difference in your life and that you have become passionate about maintaining a consistent exercise program.
Any members that have shoe lockers can remove their belongings before May 10th. After this date, the company reserves the right to process all belongings in a safe appropriate manner.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at 02-791 0000.
Kind regards,
CAWOW Management
I will be calling them soon asking for details about refunds, and will post any information that I find here.

New Bukhara’s was a really small and nice little restaurant in the heart of Sukhuvmit road in Bangkok. The staff was friendly, the place was nice and clean, bathrooms small but clean and the food really was great. I will be visiting there again soon.
The Menu: The menu has pretty much every category of indian cuisine you can think of.

What I Drink: I usually get San Mig Lights, they are approx 120 baht per beer.

Thai government and people are furious over this recent Saturday Night Live skit about Rosetta Stone Thai. After watching this YouTube video you can see why.
My personal opinion, I did laugh and think it was a pretty funny and well-played skit, but at the same time I could totally understand why the people of Thai would be furious, disappointed, and angry about it. But, I was also born and raised with freedom of speech, so I think the video should be left alone, but can’t blame the Thai government for attempting to get the video removed.
