infernalman7 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Words are already spreading among my Chiang Mai peers. 23 Jan 2014 is grand opening day of the Maya Mall on Huay Keaw/Nimmanhaemin Road. It is also the day where the traffic would be closed off for the 1st Day CMU graduation ceremony. Also, from 20-22 the area should also be quite crowded there would be rehearsal rounds for the graduation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh, how exciting And here I thought the topic was a heads up on the upcoming traffic chaos which I'm glad to be made aware of. True. My comment was directed at the fact a new shopping centre was opening & half the world's population feels the need to be there. have lived in that area when just the graduation ceremony caused enough traffic problems.

Popular Post taotoo Posted January 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2014 I once took a shortcut through the university on graduation day. It gave me two hours to consider my stupidity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger1999 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 If Maya is opening on Jan. 23 I must have missed the announcement. I don't see it on their FB page. Also, walking past the place I don't see how they can be ready by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwilly Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thanks for the advice. I live on Suthep Rd and know Graduation causes hell for residents, car parking problems really ridiculous. The traffic now on Nimman has got really bad and opening of the new shopping mall without any road improvements is not going to do anyone an advantage. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Those of us who live along Huey Kaew welcome another shopping option, especially having more English-language movies within walking distance. And during late January it should be safer to walk since the traffic will be at a dead stop along Huey Kaew. The one disadvantage is that the song thaew drivers will merely laugh at you when you tell them your destination is along Huey Kaew. But, not to worry! The weather is great. My new exercise program is to ride a song thaew to CM Ram hospital -- the drivers don't mind going there -- walk thru the hospital, up the little soi behind the hospital, dart thru the basement of Kad Suan Kaew (always run into someone I know for a nice chat) and then onto Huey Kaew. Don't mind doing that now, but it's going to get really hot, long and boring when the weather gets warm. Edited January 5, 2014 by NancyL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infernalman7 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 I wouldn't mind it either. If you've lived here in Thailand long enough you will realize that shopping malls cause only short-term nightmare. Long term people will still flock back to the "best" mall out there only. It's great to have a Rimping near Huay Keaw/Nimman finally. A 5-star cinema complex is also a great addition to the neighborhood. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger1999 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I stand corrected. Maya is now saying they will open Jan. 23 on the FB page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
