ianf Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) As if there is not enough parking at this Mall, they have taken away the 2nd car park to errect some monstrosity of a building. What is it? Surely not a multi-story car park? Another mall with no parking? Last night it was virtually impossible to park and it must now be hell at weekends. We'll stay away!

kaptainrob Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) It will be a HomeWorks store, almost identical format to HomePro, with more building materials. Part of the Central Retail Group. Edited November 22, 2012 by kaptainrob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenside Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 And of course CPN will be offering rent reductions to their existing tenants to compensate them for the reduction in traffic caused by the critical shortage of parking. Not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joop50 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 When the new malls open the problem resolve itself, by the way there were already 2 topics about parking at Airport plaza not long ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaamNaam Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I guess they can foresee that in the very near future there will be plenty of car park spaces, with 3 new mega malls being built. Central festival will dominate in years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This won't be too much comfort to the companies who have invested in developing their space at Airport Plaza. The practice of degrading the value of a tenant's lease is all too common here - rent a nice new shop and next month the developer will likely have either rented the sidewalk in front to someone else or allowed a billboard to be erected so that you have no visibility from the main road. Check out the swimming pool company at the junction in front of Central Airport Plaza - I'll bet they bought in because of the great position and now there's a huge LED billboard that obscures them from about 25% of the cars waiting for the lights to change.

It.s crowdy at airport plaza at lunch and diner time and in the weekends. There is a big diversity of food stores, most people come for the food only. In weekends and holidays there are mostly festivities wich attrack young people. Many trade stores seem empty all the time. I've also seen the swimming pool company atvertising on that billboard sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddhaMind Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Whoever rented in Airport Plaza, if they have a problem now, should have thought about that before leasing. So here's a giant mall and your two small exits do this... 1) makes you take a left going into town, and the other 2) makes you take a left towards the airport (with no thru-way), forcing you to use a small u-turn. The bottleneck here can be quite long, and quite dangerous if you're not careful. So, if you rented in Airport Plaza, you knew going in that, sure, there's was enough parking, but the exits for all those cars would be insanely limited. Thailand doesn't seem to have much interest in traffic mitigation. Oh well. Up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masuk Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 now that I've moved near Maejo Univeristy, I find that most of my groceries are available at Rimping Mee Chok, and the large Home Mall in the outer ring road has a good range of gear, Only problem is that it gets hot in there, with no air con. Parking at Home Mall is good, but how come 'shade cloth' doesn't seem to have hit if off here? If car parks in northern Australia don't have it, people go elsewhere. Saves the car becoming a microwave on wheels. What we do need is a cinema or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So here's a giant mall and your two small exits do this... As opposed to which other malls and shopping centers? There's ONE that has well-planned access, and it's the Auchan people who put in a very big effort (extreme effort, actually) to make that happen.

The bottleneck here can be quite long, and quite dangerous if you're not careful. Agree but not mentioned the entrances at the same spots. Most cars come in from Mahidol road, the intersection is an incredible bottleneck,at peak houres. And many people ignore the red traffic lights so they block everything. Thai are very selfish people (in traffic anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airport mall has them both and they subtitle the other language also they are air conditioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
