As the billboard says, the Promenada will open sometime during Q1 2013.

Will they make it?

To give you an impression of the progress, I made some stills and a video on Saturday Dec 1 2012.

And a video

Really great pictures. Ofcourse I said, "how did he/she do that?"

Excellent photos and video. Do you get a lot of stares piloting the oct around, I know I would be.

Cool!

While flying that are you watching the copter or a monitor?

4 days ago. Some person from Pomenada said again it would open Q1 2013. So they didn't adjust theire plans yet. Looks like they will make it.

My money is on the second Quarter.

I hope it is sooner.

Looking good will be nice to compare with the original plans several years ago.

Parks and lots of parking with a golf cart type thing arrangement to get from the parking lot to the stores.

The camera (GoPro Hero 2) has an extreme wideangle lens of 170°.

So watching the copter is good enough!

Guess the panorma-like photo's did all the work already ;-)

First quarter ?

Simply "NO"

More shopping malls are just what the punters need. Forget about sporting facilities and the like, we want western style capitalism where one can consume to one's heart's delights. Then we can start to really challenge bangkok for proper traffic jams.

Still, at least it'll provide some free air-con escape from the city heat that is in part produced by these kinds of mega-buildings.

I know but I like to complain and I feel it is Rude when some one does it in printing there post.

So simple just hit the enter bar.

Out of my league on the cameras. I think it might have some thing to do with the settings on the Camera.

Can't swear to it but I think the membership (for lack of a better word) has out grown the software they use.

I know that often when I hit reply I will just get the blank screen. I have to go back and hit multi quote.

Growing pains I guess.

Thaibird, I think if you have new locations scheduled you can get a group of TV members going along out of interest. Sure many of us would love to see.

Nice video....noticed you kept it roadside of their boundary fence; Is that becasue if it came down you would have to go see the foreman and "ask for your copter back"

The development doesnt have a cat inhells chance of opening by end march Q1, Getting to roof level is usually a third of the contract period, and you can imagine shop fit outs taking 2/3 months when they all leased.

my bet is on Q2 also..May 2013

Am looking at mid year, doubt that they can make it on Q1, but never knows. Don't look like they've turned the space over to the renters to move in and decorate yet, and that's a worrying sign. Also plenty of landscaping to finish.

Pity, they've lost the head start on the Central Festival, would have been great for them to open as plan, and build up the name before the 'sure shot' Central opens.

probably Qtr1 2013 now if they contact the Chinese owners and they send them here by the busloads....I have seen lots of openings in China that looked impossible to open...but nothing like adding 1000 more to the floor and working 24 hrs on shifts....works every time ...

Good one Lawrence.

Thousands of Chinese at immigration applying for work permits.

Watching a BBC programme last week (in UK)... The chinese are completing 30-storey blocks of flats in 3 weeks using pre-fabricated sections, and squads working a 3-shift rotation. Maybe, just maybe.....

Thanks for a fascinating post, OP.... it sure throws down the gauntlet to dave2!!

I drive ny there everyday and there has been very little (noticable) progress in the last 6 months. 1st quarter 2013? No way. Looks like they are running a skeleton staff

Three things

1 I don't have a dog

2 I don't have a smart phone

3 It would be nice if the ones that do post pictures could learn how to do it

Such as you have done and not force every post to use the slide bar to get the messages.

It is such a simple thing to post the messages where the slide bar is not needed.

a pic ... whats this poster say ?

Top says would like to invite people of Chiangmai

To Share bow & dance + ??

Royal grace

Kongprabaht?? I am lost I dunno

The part right under the symbol

says Phansa which I think is the monks rainy season?

Father Of The Land

So I am guessing a invitation to celebrate the Kings Birthday?

Will ask my wife to decipher this when she gets home from work

Thanks Dave2, look forward to the photos from your new galaxy cooper smartphone!

And hellodolly I know, life is not easy.

The good news for you: Your wish is my command, I will try another method to upload files.

But NO quarantees, hope your slide bar isn't worn out!

Soon I will publish some new footage:

That doesn't look anywhere close to done. On another note, what the hell are they building in the parking lot behind Airport plaza?

good one Robb...I see them all the time :-) in China...shopping malls, hotels, 30 storey blocks...1000-5000 guys at the work site on a 3 shift worksite makes fast progress

kkkk just hope they are not there when you are renewing your visa HulloDolly...hahahahah that would make you want tobuy a dog for sure :-)

^ Nice work. Throw in some sub-titles and your away.

End of march!!! I think they call that "positive spin"

Of course reps from the company owners are going to be positive and in turn hope you are a potential tenant.

I think I said in a previous thread, May/June was more realistic; but having said that, I went by on saturday and there really was a skeleton workforce there at best.

From the video, really they are a long way off, no services in other than air con ductwork........but a rule of thumb in my 30yrs building experience on large sites was completion about 10 weeks after plastering complete.

Well its all to see I suppose, they certainly have to pull out all the stops if they want to achieve that deadline, when obviously tenants dont even have a prayer of getting their hands on their unit for a few months.

Thanks for sharing my video Thailandebiz!

I added subtitles just now so you all understand.

Keen to know what you guys think? Will it be finished by March?
