Moreover, Rayong Real Estate Company Limited "RY" had already informed of its progress of the operation for RY's immovable property development project named Wangjuntr Golf Park project which located at 129 Moo 6 Tambol Pa Yoob Nai, Amphur Wang Chan, Ra-Yong Province. This project had planned to develop to be a golf course with 54 holes divided into 3 phases including club house as well as lodging and resort of which to be sold for members and also sell some parts of land in the future. However, as the public utility development plan approaching to the government sector has not yet reached its target, such development had been therefore delayed and enabled the project to be not completed entirely. At present, this project had been in the process for the specialist to have a course test for some parts especially Phase I and Phase II zones of golf course as to prepare for its readiness and must take some time for an official opening for the whole project. Consequently, the land development procedure in construction of Golf Course, Resort, Golf Club and immovable property development of the premium grade had been sold out of those buildings which had been already completed approximately 56 %. However, there have not yet had any income from the golf course development at present and there also have not had any further progress until now. 3 Unit : Million Baht Rayong Real Private Inter Estate Co., Ltd Construction Co., Ltd.
