Classic Ray 2681 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 The one thing that IKEA stores need is plentiful parking, unless they expect everyone to use their delivery service. I trust the parking will be available ‘in the heart of Bangkok’. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LittleBear57 195 Posted March 29 Popular Post Share Posted March 29 Somewhere on the 36 between Pattaya and Rayong would be a good place. Lots of people earning good money in industry as well as expats in this area. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtls2005 27080 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) Sofa vaguely resembles a pedestrian crosswalk. Amazed no one plowed into it. 2 hours ago, Classic Ray said: I trust the parking will be available ‘in the heart of Bangkok’. Why? Customers can shop online or visit the store using public transportation, place orders for delivery. That said, Emsphere looks to be quite large, and assume it will have parking similar to the nearby EM's (porium, quartier).

Popular Post Mr Meeseeks 12475 Posted March 29 Popular Post Share Posted March 29 On the site of the legendary old Washington Square. Just round the corner and up Soi 22 Queen's Park Plaza is turning into another Makro. Sign of the times that the Bangkok I knew and loved is disappearing forever. What a place it was in the late 90's and early 00's. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does Roi Et need so many 7/11's? I'd have thought 101 would be more appropriate. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burma Bill 6426 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Who needs IKEA?? Certainly not me. When I lived in Lanna, Northern Thailand, there were plenty of local family carpenters and furnishers, who I supported, offering quality products at affordable prices. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never happen Most furniture is junk, only if you like teakwood you still can find some decent stuff at local chops like in Baan Tawai. I used IKEA for our (student) condo in Bangna, perfect and better than the local brands. Strange wanted to quote Burma Bill but get J2U?????
