Am very happy that at least Santa is going to The Avenue since most of the shops there seem to be closing due to lack of customers. The Avenue has just become a cheap night market.

Thank you for your response, we are in the process of relocating our shop to the Avenue, and I think you will be pleasantly surprised in the coming weeks and months to see what changes are happening there. Most of the shops have now be re-leased and there is a Tuk com style IT centre currently being built on the 2nd floor and many other changes.

I think that the Party Shop could do well there as most of their customers would be looking for specific items which are not available all over town.

I hope they gave you a good price on the rent.

Good luck to The Party Shop, but the big question is will The Avenue become a busy place.

Setting up a "cell phone" plaza at the Avenue will not be welcomed if the shops are out in the open like it is right now. It needs to be in an air conditioned room. Next, if the owners were good business people (and not looking at greed for the short term) , they would rent (reduced rate) the upstairs or bottom buildings to some department store outlet just to draw the big spenders in. But I realize Thai business people would most likely raise the rent on a shop instead of reducing it because of lost revenue. I do not think the NIght Market is a big drawing card for the few shops left in back. In fact , being a local, I find the shops blocking my way to CA Wow everytime I go.

One more thing, I saw on another website that the Fish Spa is for sale and the rent is 1,200 baht per day, which comes out to about 36k baht per month. Am I wrong in thinking that sounds expensive?

Just a reminder that Santa will be available from this Monday through to Christmas Eve between 6pm and 9pm daily.

Come along and get your photo taken with Santa whilst supporting The Rotary Club of Pattaya.

Just a reminder that Santa is now available at the Avenue Shopping Centre for photos, everyday between 6pm and 9pm.

Went to see the New Harry Potter movie at the Avenue on Sunday at 2:30pm - sadly a whopping 8 people in the theatre total. The whole place looks so deserted - things are falling apart and very dirty. Windows never cleaned, the men's restroom in the theatre has one sink working out of about 6.

The Tuckom style IT center, has been there for about 6 months (at least) - they all look bored and lonely. This idea of shopping al-fresco in Pattaya is a big flop.

A specialized party shop like you - may work as people tend to search for your kind of business rather than an impulse buy. I hope you get a very good deal on your rent.

Thank you for your kind thoughts.

We have been running the Party Shop for over 4 years now and found the Avenue excellent value and location for our market.

So far the Avenue has been great in terms of a location with heaps of new customers passing by everyday..

Often peoples perceptions become reality, as we are at the centre all day, the Centre is actually quite busy and visitors come in waves during the course of the day, as a new comer to the Centre, we certainly would not call it a ghost town, but we do appreciate your opinion.

The new outlet mall they are building is around 50% sold even before opening and the new management team there are really making a difference to the whole centre.

Hope everyone has a fantastic christmas where ever you may be spending it.

I hope the jolly old fella in the red suit has an air-conditioned room to sit in, otherwise he might be tempted to shave off his flowing white beard.

Not a good look for Santa.

Is there an age limit to have a photo opportunity with Santa? don't want to go there and be told to go home Grandad your too old!

[taff33]

Only good boys and girls alowed with Santa (are there many in Pataya)

[balo]

It must be hard for Santa to find good boys in Pattaya.

[Basil B]

Wonder if any board members have sat on Santa's lap? (or should that have read Bored Members).

Nice pic of Santa's little helpers, they would be most welcome to sit on my lap.

[Danlo]

Its a dead area.

good luck

I heard they were going to cancel Santa and put on a nativity scene in Pattaya this year.

Problem was they couldn't find 3 wise men and a virgin. No problem finding a fat white man though.

I see he's still dragging that old bag around.
