I live not far from the mall

i will check tomorrow and will be back to let you know here, but i presume it's open

(Even if most of the shops inside are already closed since months)

 

if you have an interest in a particular shop or activity, you can ask me here or in pm

and i will check tomorrow afternoon if this specific place is open or not

 

Central on beach road was closed these last days, but again open since today

I guess you mean the one on Klang that is always empty? It has a supermarket at the back so I would expect that to be. There is also a harbor Mall in Laem Chabang which has a large Tesco outlet and I would expect that to be open. Remember only 'essential' shops are supposed to be open, like supermarkets, phone shops and banks, so not much reason to go unless one of those is your need. My Mrs went to Tesco Lotus on North Rd and the Mall was open with just the supermarkets, banks etc open, Decathlon was closed. And even Tesco was only selling particular items with toys and stuff like that closed off.

I thought that was obvious as it is a Pattaya forum 

 

Thanks for the other info though

 

I actually wanted to visit the computer shop there "Advice" - hard to say if that particular shop would be open - who knows

Living half way between the two and using the one in Laem Chabang for many years before the Pattaya one opened, I tend to think of that one first. (Easier to get to also.)

Pattaya Forum

Pattaya, the seaside playground on Thailand's east coast. Sun baked beaches and the wild nightlife make Pattaya a wonderland by night and day, including Sri Racha, Bang Saen and all the way to Koh Samet.

That's interesting, as I was in Big C in South Pattaya yesterday and everything was being sold as normal.

So if you want some "non-essential" stuff, best head to Big C it seems.

I guess so... although if word got back to Tesco, I bet they open those aisles.

Sad, that Mall never took off although I used it a few times, obviously not lately. Easy to access on my way home from town. I was also told great to take kids to... 

Never anyone in there.

That instruction was changed yet again yesterday and the likes of Tesco and Big C could sell all their stuff AIUI.

Can the other shops open now, clothes etc? DIY?

I can't keep track of it!

Japanese owned Market am I correct

[biggles45]

The supermarket has been closed a long time, even before CV started. It was quite expensive and had a limited stock of items. I live a 10 minute walk away and would stroll over sometimes. Great wifi and a good DIY shop. 

[peterrabbit]

Was there on Monday. Only the first few floors open, mainly restaurants and banks. Some of the computer shops have set up temporary stalls on the ground floor, JIB, Advice etc but besides them its a ghost building.

[ivor bigun]

I can remember when they built it ,first thing i said to the wife ,why? who is ever going to bother coming here ,and to far from the center for tourists .pity i used to like the supermarket .

As promised i visited the mall this afternoon

the Advice computer shop is still open, just beside Mr DIY (Open too)

you are lucky it's one of the rare shops still open in this ghost mall

my god it's better to not come here if you are depressed

50% to 70% of the shops are definitively closed and there is

obviously no customers for the ones still open, a really sad view

it was open yesterday not much open in there though I was there for Advice IT store.

I have been trying to find out if the ice rink was still open. I don't think so as they don't answer the phone anymore, and that was before this latest spike in covid.

It was a branch of 'Maxvalu'.   I believe they are a Japanese chain.   Didn't do well in Harbor Mall, Pattaya and closed down before Covid.

The ice rink was imo the better thing in this mall for Pattaya

pre covid i have seen here few nice hockeys on ice competitions

(There was a western team in Pattaya, i don't know if they still exist)

the access was free for the viewers

I been in Harbor mall a few weeks ago, actually also wanted to visit Advice, and there is no computer shop at all anymore on that floor.

 

Advice, JIB, and the shops that sold the cheap stuff, all gone.

 

If I recall correctly, the only thing still open on that floor was a shop from a mobile phone brand

As far as I could notice a few weeks ago, there was nothing anymore in those spaces.

 

I will have a look again, and take pictures, in the next few days

Obviously they are back as i was here few hours ago

Advice isn't on the floor with the phone shops, but on the floor above

just beside Mr DIY, and there are 3 or 4 other computer shops just beside Advice

I know where advice is, as I bought things there in the past. It is on the same floor as where JIB was, and those shops who sell those cheap accessories.

 

Now you make me think that I was confused and was on the wrong floor, but I saw the service center of a mobile phone brand somewhere midway, and at the far end 2 shops that do computer repairs or sell second hand computers.

 

Everything else on that floor was gone.

 

As I said already, I'm gonna check again in the next few days

Yes i think so

 

i was here few hours ago specifically to check if this shop was open for the OP

The mall is on my way from my condo to the beach, but i usually don't have any reason to stop here

i don't drink alcool, so i wasn't drunk, and if you check my forum history, you will see i am not a troll

or used to make stories fabrications or other falses statements. Of course it's the situation today.

 

If another lockdown is enforced or if they don't have customers (Pattaya being more and more

deserted, not only by the foreigners, but also by the Thais,if you live here you know it already)

 they could close definitively in the next weeks.

I never said I considered you a troll or making up stories. I said you make me think I was confused, because I don't go often in that mall. I went there for the computer shops, and had to return empty handed

 

From what I recall, if you go up the stairs, on a certain floor in front of the stairs there was a big shop that sold toys but has been shut long time ago, and advice was just one floor up.

 

Is that correct?

yes this floor where was the big shop toy is an empty place

one floor up just when youcome out of the escalator the shop above this empty place is Mr DIY

 a shop with tools and a lot of different stuff

and on the right side of Mr DIY, there is Advice with a big front around 10\15 meters long

if you continue there are 2 or 3 more computers shops, obviously for gamers (I have seen few

gamers chairs and few computers for gamers with nice lights inside)
