Agree ...airport plaza still has the mods for me and I enjoy it very much as the parking eases at airport plaza it makes it even better ! Only thing in Promenada for a repeat visit is if the SF cinema has nicer seats and sound system Will be there in 2 weeks to test it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
market trader Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 How to get to Promenada via songthaew? Do one of the non-red ones go past that location on their fixed route? I suspect the red songthaews want more than 20 baht to go that far away from the center of the city. The web site says there is a shuttle bus to the centre of the city.

shepsel Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I visited the Promenada on its first day of the soft opening, and the parking lots were filled to capacity, and they had auxiliary parking in empty lots across the highway from the mall. They even supplied song-taews to shuttle people to the part of the mall that was open for business. There are many higher end stores opened with a large clothing store (I think from Japan) selling more reasonably priced goods. I was disappointed with the size of the Rimping Supermarket--it seems that it is tiny--and it is an anchor for the mall. Unless this is just the frontage for a much larger and complete grocery shop in the not too distant future--I will stick to shopping at Rimping at Meechock. I found the outside architecture and use of colours to be dull and boring, but when I entered the mall I felt it was nicely presented with wide curving aisles, lots of seating, lots of natural light, and a pleasure to walk around. I do hope that CM can support this type of upscale mall, considering that a good percentage of the stores are duplicates of Airport Plaza. I am wondering if it will be the "same same" type of mall as the yet to be opened Central Festival and the Maya Mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said "They even supplied song-taews to shuttle people to the part of the mall that was open for business." On the original proposal several years ago they advertised that they would be providing transportation from parking to the mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
