bankroll Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Anyone know much about this new mall called Colonnade Mall...? apparently there's a hotel as well. From what I read in a Thai magazine, it seems like it's going to be exclusive boutiques, but somewhere else it said it was replacing Nadpob mall, which doesn't make much sense as that's the new one anyway. Confused. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhfarang Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Probably the new hotel/mall going up on the corner of Soi 94... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomat Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Probably the new hotel/mall going up on the corner of Soi 94... Isn't that the G Boutique resort (or something like that) which is being built by the owners of the G supermarket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhfarang Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 ^ Yes, and there is another resort/hotel/shopping complex going up just north of town on the highway to Cha-Am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ableguy Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 The new mall is actually replacing nab bob. The hotel has been built behind the nab bob. There has been several articles in the local media about this. Nab bob has been a dismal failure for many reasons and the company that owns it admits this, mainly because there is no anchor stores to pull people in despite its advantagous location, all the stores in the mall are very small selling things only tourists would look at twice and all paying very high rents, a lot of the original renters have already moved to greener pastures. What the place really needes is a tops supermarket to give villa plaza a run for their money to pull people in who actually live here as the high season is so short, I understand a KFC will be moving in but I doubt if this alone will save it. There was a very interesting store on the upper floor where everything sold for 65 baht but sadly it too moved on. I suspect greed got in the way of planning as far as this mall went, have no idea about pricing at the new hotel but it is in a good position for revellers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhfarang Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 You are correct ablguy, I drove by there today and they had new signs up designating the Nabpob mall as the new Colonade Mall and Colonade Hotel. Not sure what they will change to make the mall more attractive to the public, but we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpcoe Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 There was a very interesting store on the upper floor where everything sold for 65 baht but sadly it too moved on. FYI, the B65 store -- Daiso, of the Japanese "¥100 Store" chain -- has moved to Market Village, near the entrance to the movie theatre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
