Microwave Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Looks like the new Central Dept. Store by the Arcade bus station will have an ice skating rink as I know the man who's installing it. I don't know if such a venue will do well here, but it will be something new and different for CM and perhaps draw curious onlookers to the new Central. Time will tell if has staying power or not.

Microwave Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 This one will happen. I don't know about the quality of the ice nor the size of the rink, but the installation has started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellodolly Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 So all of a sudden Chiang Mai will have two ice skating rinks. I thought the Thia's always waited to see if one was successful before they built a dozen of them. Pretty soon the Maya will have one then the airport and that other supposedly really big mall that is going to take all the Promenada business away because it is in there area.

Not sure where they are with it yet. But as I said monkey see monkey do. Let us see where it ends. Edited October 22, 2013 by hellodolly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puukao Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 With high-end hockey equipment made in China (and well made, I might add), this is the time to open up a pro shop. sell good skates for up to $900; yes, they exist. hockey sticks (carbon) for $250; yes, they exist, and then start ice hockey league games (non-check) at $500 per 20 games. I will show up everyday with all my equipment on.......oh wait, didn't bring my stuff to CM. I knew I should have brought my hockey stuff!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microwave Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 If you click the www.flyingfarangs.com link in the previous article (or the link I just provided), you'll see that there's an ice hockey tournament scheduled for next week in Bangkok. Scroll down a bit and the flying farangs even managed to get Stevie to pose with them in a photo. How 'bout that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haybilly Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 All these new ice skating venues would make for brisk business in the various X- Ray depts- Thais on ice, if their driving skills are anything to go by.

DarloKnight Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Thanks Microwave will be good to take my daughter when we come over in February something different to the usual tourist things we do. Don't think we will get our skates through customs though so will have to hire them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
