hellodolly Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Was wondering if any one had gone there for it. If so was it any thing special. Or just the same bunch of carts and stores? Is the ice rink in yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PostmanPat Posted October 28, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) From the photos in Citylife, just the usual bunch of would be hi so types that get invited to all these events, funny, if you look at the pics of openings, sponsored events, you always see the exact same faces again and again and again!!! eg the editor/ owner of Citylife, the editor/owner of Chiang Mai Mail, honorary consuls, etc etc etc etc!!! By the way, not jealous before anyone accuses me.....wouldnt be seen dead at one of these boring events where endless speeches are made and flowers exchanged ad nauseam!!!!

CMKiwi Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Yes, it seems some habits (or traditions) are hard to stop. Or is it a form of bureaucracy for bureaucracy sake? I know of some establishments that have spent a small fortune (And big fortunes too) on their official opening, only to close down shortly after due in part to these 'parties' Crazy stuff. Havent been to the Promenada yet and from all the posts Ive read will probably leave it for another 5 months till all the vacant shop spaces are full. I suppose though, that the new Central Festival mall will be in full swing by then.... and hopefully with shops that offer more than the usual stuff you find everywhere.

meechai Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Bummer drove past Saturday & saw all the cars parked on the road & thought oh, Maybe some new stores finally opened? On a side note that new place behind airport plaza looks almost done & is more than just a one shop. Also that new Festival Mall looks to be almost done too? Sure do have a few places to shop in this town don't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the purpose of the post was to see if it had changed. Can't say as though I have seen many recent posts on empty shops. last time I was there was a couple of months ago and they were still working on the out side. From the original proposal a few years ago it was supposed to have a park like area with a stage for what ever performances. Would suggest that it will be the same in Maya and Central when they open. Haven't been to the one by the Arcade bus station yet but there was a post saying it was going to have an ice rink. Am actually planing a trip out there soon to have a look around and see if it is done. Now that Duke's is open I can take in a good movie and a a guaranteed good meal. As well as check out the ice rink and park like area. I do enjoy movies and with the new ones in town and the playing of the same movies I judge them by the comfort of the seats. I know that the theater in the airport plaza is contending. They actually upgraded there seats and the bathrooms in the last couple of years and the ushers seem to be more friendly. It was embarrassing went there last week and entered the theater and one of the ushers held my arm to help me up the steps. My ambulatory abilities are not what they used to be but not that bad.

Torrens54 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Went a couple of times for what were claimed to be "Grand Openings" and went a couple of other times only to decide that it could be okay except for the CAR PARKING , or LACK OF IT! Don't expect to go back for a long time and certainly NOT on a Weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
