When T21 is finished, landscaped and open.....I plan to also take some pics to send to my sceptical contacts/pals back in England, who accuse me of living in third world Thailand...... As far as Pattayas' historical image is concerned...... The weekenders from Bkk now appear to be denting that.....thank goodness Is there something wrong about living in a Third World Country? To me that means there ares till some charms that have not been monetized. Please don't blizzard me with bad things you experience. Relax and seek out the old world charms and attitudes. Some are still there. It's up to you to choose how to experience Thailand. The expats that experience Thailand by bending their arm all day may be living their dream but it has little to do with Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a good laugh in the morning. Anyway , for me its big news since I live in the area, I save a lot of time and can buy groceries around the clock , it takes me 10 minutes to get to T21 by walking. If their restaurant is open 24/7 it's even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that there were items that I wanted to buy at Royal that they have at Klang but because of the mini-size, they didn't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far the best addition by far to the Pattaya mall scene has been the Harbor Mall and that's because of the Mr. DIY there. Just about the only place I've found lithium grease spray here (besides Lazada, with I hope willeventually do the same to the malls as Amazon did in the west). Lithium Grease Spray! Amazing Thailand!

So that is nothing to get excited about. The fact it's just another Foodland instead of the unique whole foods type grocery store like they have in Bkk is one of the major disappointments about this mall. T21 is probably same as Royal, a small selection. The one on Klang is the one where you can find more rare farang foodstuffs. Anybody counted how many are moving from Royal? Beerfest was in Avenue so they're coming from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if the Foodland at T21 is going to be a mini sized one. The one at Royal was added to a very old mall in the freakin' garage. With T21, their tenancy would have been planned at the construction phase. T21 will be a much larger, much more major mall and a full sized grocery store would be the right fit there. But we'll see, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Checking prices in the future at the Centrepoint Hotel the least expensive room is about 4500 b plus 17 %. It does include breakfast. ???? Looks extremely nice and will I bet will be the most exclusive hotel in the city. On the roof of T21 there is a spectacular water park. Plus there is a bar and restaurant up there looks like a nice spot for a drink and evening view. I am not sure the water park is for the hotel guests only or for public use for a fee. Looks like a great place for families with kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone else mentioned, apparently you are not aware of the other "exclusive" hotels in town. So not necessarily the most exclusive. Just the newest shiny object. I would have to see the water park to know what that is all about. It looks like a pretty big area up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Pattaya and travel around the area visiting places of interest, temples, gardens, Monuments etc I travel round Thailand also. I do go to bars and indulge in P4P in Pattaya.

lapd Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 They have the planes lit up now. The interior light changes between 3 or 4 different colors in both planes at the same time..lol. You can get a pretty good look inside at night with all the lights on. Looks pretty tacky and gimicky if you ask me. They really went all out to make it look like an airport terminal with each floor a different city theme. Paris, San Francisco etc. It's like a theme park or something. I guess the chinese tourists will eat it up and people who think Ripleys Believe it or Not is totally awesome. It may be mildly interesting the first time you go but after that it's just another mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
