Future Park closed indefinitely

The Nation

Future Park Rangsit will close its doors until the floods subside, according to ING Fund (Thailand) which operates a fund that owns the shopping complex.

Future Park has been closed since October 19.

ING said that the complex is spared by the floods that severely hurt Rangsit. However, transportation is difficult due to deluge into the area. It is now protected behind a 2-metre sandbag wall.
