California WOW cannot just stay clean they need to cheat people out from the money to make profit and do not ask me how they got into the stock market in Thailand.
After our last article about the SMS Scam by California WOW we had a Thai girl send us an email telling us about her problem with them as well.
She said that she failed to understand that her “lifetime” membership will be terminated if she not paid 100 THB per year.
According to California WOW own “rules” they can terminate they account if you not pay the 100 THB per year and you cannot pay in advance you need to pay at the day or week exactly making it very easy to forget.
A lifetime membership is just that it is for life so you cannot really terminate it but California WOW can they can do everything they want since they have money. They can take away classes and close fitness centers but if you forget 100 THB you lose 25 000 THB.
We called on her behalf to the “customer service” at California WOW and they advice us that if we had forgotten a few month they could fix us back for 2000 THB. But if we had more than 6 month due our 25 000 for one year of fitness was lost.
We asked about this fixing in the contract and they said it did not have but it was really up to them to do as they pleased. So basically they do not go by the contract at all. Our advice was to talk to the consumer court and try to sue California Wow for unethical business practice.

I just experienced the same thing. I found out that my top-of-the-line, premium priced “lifetime” membership to California Wow in Pattaya is now %100 null and void because I forgot to pay an annual fee of 100 baht. I’m sure this detail is located somewhere in the fine print of my written agreement but I don’t recall any mention of it at the time I plunked my money down. I carelessly took the term “lifetime membership” at face value and read no further. No late fee or reinstatement fee was even offered. The only option I was given was to start over and purchase a new membership. I don’t get it. Where’s the profit in dumping members? Who in their right mind would turn around and give more money for a second membership to an organization that they feel cheated them the first time around?
