Thailand - the hub of malls.

This outdoor shopping mall is doomed: 1) the name brands are still expensive at these outlet malls 2) the location is far from public transportation & populated areas 3) Thai people want air conditioning- not  walking around or shopping in the hot temperatures. What works in the West doesn’t always work in Thailand. 

"Central Village is accessible by MRT....."

No it isn't.  The nearest MRT station is about 30kms away.

A mere short walk for the gullible determined shopper.

Well that land dispute ended fast with a couple of more brown envelopes before grand opening. Well... Just pray, that a nasty nasty plane is not crashing on their property one day.....

I am sure Central Group the largest and most successful Shopping Centre developer in Thailand will take your advice on board..... Incidentally i am sure Siam Piwat the 3rd largest retail developer who are also developing one have not done their market research either. Pity none of them have master retail developer Toenail on their books.....
