LawrenceChee Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I see a hot outdoor rink only hahahahhah...I think they are still making the ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernjohn Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I was wondering if they would have skates to rent for size 9 and up? Also if I skate like I used to maybe a pillow to tie around my bum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticklee Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 This is gonna be a challenge... making and maintaining good skating ice is something of a science. Temperature, humidity and even the actual 'water' used. Hopefully the maintenance staff will be properly trained or it could be just a hopeless mess.

NancyL Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I predict it will be a short-lived novelty -- like the ice rink at Kad Suan Kaew was in that mall's glory days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante99 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I predict it will be a short-lived novelty -- like the ice rink at Kad Suan Kaew was in that mall's glory days. How long did that last at KSK, 5+ years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellodolly Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I never saw the one at KSG but if it was as hard to find as the bowling alleys I am not surprised it didn't make it. The Promenada it will be in a very visible area. Yet like sticklee said maintenance can prove to be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainiain101 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I believe it is going to be synthetic ice, the same as they demonstrated next to the 3 Kings monument at Christmas 2011. Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habfan Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Good ice is hard to maintain practically a science. The ice maker in the big hockey rinks in Canada are elevated to god like status. I wish them luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglechef Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 There are a number of ice rinks in BKK such as the Sub-Zero Ice Skate Club @ Esplanade Kae Rai. Doubt the skaters in the pic are going to be playing ice hockey even though they are dressed as such . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebo Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Any TV members that have seen the ice skating rink at KSK in use? Went there quite often for a while about 12 ... 15 years ago until a home accident with a dislocated shoulder forced me to avoid any potential chance of having it dislocated once more. The quality of the ice was quite inconstant, sometimes more, sometimes less wet, and not comparable to the "dry" ice condition I was used to from home. I always wondered how this project could be economical or even profitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hml367 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Thanks for that, Rebo. Were there many people when you went? All I can find is reference to Bully Ice Skating or something. It seems to have opened around 2000 and I have seen some stories of happenings as late as 2004. I never saw it, which doesn't bother me, but I had heard about it. I wonder if it may have been open before it was Bully Ice Skating. There are a couple bowling alleys that I also never entered, yet were open since I have been here. Thanks again.

Thailand Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Any TV members that have seen the ice skating rink at KSK in use? Yes, they even had an ice hockey tournament back in 2003 if I remember correctly, but lack of support and interest saw it's demise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hml367 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 The ones I know about are inside the moat across from Ram and just south of Mahidol on the old Lamphun road on the RR track side. Both have been closed for some time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funcat Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Just to answer my own question....looks like the skate rink in Promenada will be open in January '14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellodolly Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Just to answer my own question....looks like the skate rink in Promenada will be open in January '14. Thanks for the info. Was out there yesterday and didn't get a chance to look around the whole mall had the family. They aren't as interested in window shopping as I am. LOL Beautiful Mall lots of open space. Not yet clutered with kiosk's. Had a couple of good Pizzas and ribs at the Dukes. Thai family loved the ribs. A little shopping at Ringping and a lot of looking at new Desk Model computers. Really liked the HP all in one unit no tower. Unlike the apple one you can play DVD's in it. It comes with a three year in home guarantee. My 5 year old one is at present being temperamental. I think it is the monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
