So if Dairy Queen closes there is really no hope at all for any other restaurant in Terminal 21 except the food court.... Their prices may well be dirt cheap,but i,d bet the rents in terminal 21 aren,t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still have to Q at the checkouts! Seems like this is where a lot of the Expats do their weekly. Redwood above me makes that valid point, and the reality that T21 was aimed ONLY at tourists, visitors, I might even be tempted to say Asians. Love the fact I can get to the Mall and park my truck these days! Yes the more locals focused venues continue doing a good trade...but the tourist focused malls are having a tough time...so definitely need 400 new parking spaces.

I agree it's very popular...in the minute or two i was taking pictures in the vicinity, at least 10 people came by only to discover, like me, that it was shutdown.

But tell us, how many folks are in there....? I live 10km out of town and need more reason to drive in than to get into a mall. If it was for the exercise, and to get out of a little box condo, I would do the Beach Rd or Jomtiem front while it isn't so hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's good to walk in the shopping centers, like Central & T21, I do it often. No hookers approaching you, but still some good eye candy to look at. Very few people in the weekdays, sometimes more staff than customers. I don't live in a little shoe box condo but in a fairly large 2 story house.

No comparison. We do walks in the morning and it's a huge difference. Especially on the weekends. But still, it's dead with regards to businesses. Sad times for them. And yes, there are TONS of stray dogs. We can no longer take our dog with us for the walk. Sucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are not TONS of stray dogs--hardly see many at all on my north Pattaya Beach walk, maybe a couple here or there. Nice amount of people out and about mornings and around sunset but easy to keep social distancing with the wide beach and wide promenade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even this past weekend in Bang Saray, the beach had MANY stray dogs roaming around. Way more than in previous years. Sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't CP have to follow the same edicts that apply to other businesses in their market segments too...and agriculture and food retailing (Seven-11) are good market segments during pandemics or recessions as people always gotta eat.
