I thought that uncle Tu had already bestowed happiness for everyone?

Another perspective on this from a mate visiting from OZ...……..

 

Now, I had been there a couple of times over the past weeks and really couldn't see what all the fuss was about...…...big, poss too spacious, loads of eateries in/near the supermarket section etc and not vey busy.

 

Went there yesterday with aforementioned mate and again not very busy, and this prompted him to ask, "who is this for, because the everyday Thai is not evident here, perhaps a few of the more wealthy, and also not many farangs"?

 

Hadn't given that too much thought I have to admit, but he has a point!
