Thats an understatement DW. I'd say give it atleast a week . As for Macca Dee's they usually do, lets hope so

Was that 'google translate' at it's best?

I especially like "...Discriminatory signs reading fairy and holy sacrifice (batman?)..."

and that everyone (apart from 'Top Somchai') was given the title 'You'

I think every shopping mall should have a discriminating signs reading fairy, the world would be a better place!

Hey Biff. your showing your just a newbie.

We've been sacrificing Fairies here for years.

Got your tent pitched up outside the front door yet Dindong?

Nice prize for the first through that door.

I'm ready to run.

Sometimes using Google Translate is not such a good idea. If someone does use it - at least edit the text before publishing it. It sounds really funny to be refered to as YOU Somchai (when you meant Khun Somchai). While no ill intention was meant, it does sound a bit funny.

I like this the most: "Discriminatory signs reading fairy and holy sacrifice". LOL

My favorite was the one about making sure the rats are represented. "High-level officials. Council members Representative Rat percent of Chiang Rai"

I took a drive past the place this morning , at the rear of tbe building rather than take the super highway route. Are they expecting some sort of Ariel Bombardment ? the place is coated in camouflage paint , hahahahha

So what is the ribbon cutting ceremony on 1st April?? Individual shops?? We got a serious personal invite and I dont think it is an April fool joke.

Good one Makes up for the VF comment

I hear the April 1st date is the "Official Grand Opening" for Robinson, altho they supposidely will be open with everyone else from March 30th.

Looks like they just tried to finish a little early and get a few more days of revenue.

Hoping Tops market will not be a dissapointment for us falongs.

My fervent hope is that Big C goes out of business, and they replace it with a multi-stored car park.

Do you think the 'discriminatory signs reading fairy' job is reserved for Thai nationals only? Or should I just send my CV in anyway?

Thx for your reply and insight. I only knew it was a ribbon cutting ceremony we were invited to but did not want to put

up with the multitudes at a grand opening

I see they will have some Waitrose products in stock.

but I can't understand the silly opening times 11.00A.M

Not a bad idea for the coming week or so is to park in BigC and walk over there as there will be plenty of free space. Actually I'll shop in BigC as I know where to find everything. I dare say I'll stroll over and have a mosey around the mall, that is if one can get in the door!

Is it only Robinsons that opens at 11am? (crazy!) hope TOPS is earlier.

No One-eyed, not demolish BigC, we need two places to spread the crowds.

The traffic is going to be very dire! So maybe park at Dindongs and leg it.

Anyone for coffee.........

Oh no!

Is there a part of the world where there isn't a Starbucks?

I think that most local people will still shop at Big C but will hang around and/or frequent the restaurants, cinema etc in Central.

Many people there for the opening.

Lannaman enjoyed a good lunch of free samples in the very impressive TOPS. Many goodies there not seen before on the shelves of Crai.

I will stay away until all the excitment has died down. I do recomment parking the other side of Super Highway and taking the footbridge.

Some examples of these mystical never before seen products would be nice

Some pics of todays opening. There still was a lot of cleaning and tidying going on just before the door opening at the auspicious time of 10.49am. (How did they work that one out, a monk told them of course)

You will see that Lman found treasure there in TOPS. ---

KIPPERS _ A BIT PRICY THOUGH.

WHERE IS THE CHEESE ? ? ? ?
