Terminal 21 Pattaya: Last call for all Eastern shoppers

By The Nation

 

 

Pattaya rolled out the red carpet recently to welcome Terminal 21, the new shopping destination in the resort and the largest in Eastern Thailand, on the concept “The Whole World is Here”.

 

Actors Sukollawat “Weir” Kanarot and Praya “Poo” Lundberg joined the celebration, while “Hunz” Isariya Patharamanop, “Earth” Patravee Srisuntisuk, SB FIVE and “Atom” Chanakan Rattanaudom performed mini concerts.

 

Prasert Sriuranpong, the managing director of LH Mall & Hotel, the developer obehind Terminal 21 Asoke, Terminal 21 Korat, Fashion Island, The Promenade RamIntra, and Life Centre Q House Lumpini, said: “Pattaya welcomes more than 16 million visitors each year and generates Bt135 billion in revenue. Terminal 21 Pattaya is the latest project by Land and Houses in the regional market. The project size is 33 rai and the location is in the heart of Pattaya and is designed as a shopping terminal with a World Market Street style and around the concept “Happiness East”. The shopping complex offers everything for every lifestyle need. We are confident that it will become the new landmark of the East and expect to welcome more than 50,000 Thai and foreign visitors a day.”

 

Highlights feature floors modelled around major cities –Paris, London, Tokyo, Italy, San Francisco and Hollywood  with each city’s respective icons. They are all connected through a dazzling design. A real plane is parked in front of the shopping complex, on a 250metre runway next to a manmade beach with a jet bridge. Another highlight is the 39metre freestanding escalator connecting Level G – Paris and Level 2  Tokyo, which is the longest shopping mall escalator in Thailand. 

 

Terminal21 Pattaya is located near the Dolphin Roundabout on North Pattaya Road, accessible via three main routes: Pattaya Sai 2, North Pattaya and Pettrakul roads and is surrounded by the highest density of 4 or 5star hotels in Pattaya.

This must surely be one of those 'advertorials'? Is that the correct 'in phrase' - an advert designed to look like a piece of journalism?

Assuming it is, could they not find someone other than a marketer who could write in understandable English, and not keep throwing in marketing phrases that probably only others in the same trade understand?

 

'the concept “The Whole World is Here',  'the concept “Happiness East”'

"Highlights feature floors modelled around major cities –Paris, London, Tokyo, Italy, San Francisco and Hollywood  with each city’s respective icons"

 

Do they actually sell any goods? I wonder what they might be?

I haven't been and have no intention of going. These places hold absolutely no attraction for me at all, shopping is a chore, and it will never become a pleasure, I have much better things to do with my time than waste it wandering aimlessly around shopping centres.

You don't like good food?

Yes I love good food, but regardless of what they sell in there I have no interest in the food court either.

Time and effort taken to get there we could cook something most likely quicker and much better ourselves at home.

I apologise profusely if the manner I live my life doesn't fit to your perception of what I 'should' do. We eat out quite frequently, but a shopping centre food court would not even feature in our thoughts when we do. Neither would battling through the Pattaya traffic to get to T21.

I wasn't speaking only of the food court, of course. There are many restaurants there that are unique in Pattaya and I'm sure you can't cook all the stuff they have in them, not even close.

" something most likely quicker and much better ourselves at home."

 

why go to any restaurant when your amazing chefs? strange comment to make without even going .  the sticky rice and smelly fish your eating right now would rate a 1 star compared to the lowly T21  food court

I wouldn't be so sure I could agree, the other half used to run a restaurant with her friend, she can cook all manner of things to an excellent standard, and not only Thai.

Regardless of content or quality of food I just find the whole experience of visiting such large shopping centres objectionable, always have done and suppose I always will.

That's fine but I think you're fooling yourself just a bit.

LOL> If you'd eaten the meal I ate there on Monday, you'd be praising the place. You have better things to do than eat good food and you find eating a waste of time. You're a strange one. One of the attractions of this mall is the choice of restaurants.

 

You shouldn't make comments about places you haven't seen or experienced. I've only been there 4 times.

2 things that prove that farang here live in their own dream world

Define 'accessible'..... I went to see the Mall last Friday and traffic was awful. I was on a bike and the security were sending them into an area completely full. 

There are 7-8 Malls already in Pattaya and a couple of those are usually empty. 

People park kerbside on all those roads and moving at weekends is slow. 

[mikebell]

The Urban 'planners' have done it again; this store has worsened traffic congestion round North Pattaya and deserves a complete boycott by locals: notwithstanding that it doesn't open till 11am.

[lamyai3]

Lots of naysayers on here, but I visited a couple of days ago and thought it was great. Similar to the T21 in Bangkok but not a copy by any means, and with more floor space to play with. Seemed to be many people (tourists and locals, and families too) taking selfies. Not necessarily a destination for shopping, but definitely fun to wander around, and a huge selection of restaurant choices aside from the food court (which is crazy cheap). Check it out, if only for the theme bathrooms and authentic Japanese toilets.

I bet the 2000 residents of the city of Italy, Texas are delighted to be celebrated in a shopping mall on the other side of the world.

Or maybe they just mean the country of Italy?

I like dry aged beef for burgers.  I know where to buy it.  But the cost is quite a bit more than I would spend at a restaurant in Terminal 21 after I pay for delivery and make the buns and so on.  I'm also an open minded individual and don't have any axes to grind so I'll try Terminal 21 after the traffic dies down a bit.  I like looking at all the people and the ambiance of a new mall.  When I first moved to Toronto they didn't have any supermarkets.  All the food was sold from little shops.  The butcher and baker and green grocer.  My shirt and suit maker kept life size busts of me to make my new clothes.  Things change.  One can embrace the changes and remember the old times with fondness or become a whinging person.

Maybe you like looking at people and shops? I do not. But please feel free to continue, because whilst you are all crowded in your shopping centres you will not be around annoying me at what ever I might be doing.

I think you opened yourself up to criticism when you posted, " haven't been and have no intention of going. These places hold absolutely no attraction for me at all, shopping is a chore, and it will never become a pleasure, I have much better things to do with my time than waste it wandering aimlessly around shopping centres." 

Hence bashing a place you have never been and have no intention of going.  Why would you think anyone would be interested in such an uneducated (person having no direct knowledge of the subject) opinion?

[Jingthing]

This is silly. Like the malls. Don't like the malls. It's all good. I'm attracted to the food choices there at T21 which in my view are far superior to Central. I wonder if the retail totally fails at T21 and the food part does well, is it still viable overall?

Maybe before calling others uneducated, you would do well to read and digest all of my posts here. Just because a person doesn't like going in shopping centres it does not stop or preclude them from having an opinion about what is going on in the area. I am not criticising those who get pleasure from T21, why do yourself and others see the need to be critical of me? Other than my opinion differs to your own? I have plenty of experience through my life that has formed my own opinion thank you, and every one of these places are pretty much the same as another, despite the name on the front.

Because you are trying to convince others not to go to a place (by posting negative information) you have never been to.  At least go to the place once and then tell us about your experiences.  I wouldn't read your other posts because you have a closed mind and post opinions based on your prejudices rather than experience.

Please tell us about the food court and mention if it's different than other mall food courts.

Yes it's different and better.

 

Very low cost

High quality (mostly)

Some choices you don't usually see in food courts (such as shrimp woonsen  pot)

Usually ample seating and views to boot

 

The only downside I see is I wish there were more vendors.

[CanuckThai]

Too bad most (not all, but close) of the vendors are a repeat of what is available everywhere else.  I can go,  sheep (shop) and prove my willingness accept Thai conformity (culture)
