MAYA shopping mall - just quality opinions

[baywatch82]

Today is opening of new shopping mall - MAYA.

Lets share some opinion about the mall.

Not about traffic, not about environment, not about opening crowd.

Just about shops, quality of service, food, cinema, attractions etc., and only from people who really went there please.

Marketing has been terrible and sadly seems same old shops that are in Central. Hope some new original ones. Time will tell.

For those that don't know about it, can someone post its location? Google coordinates....

Just came back from there. It's hard to say about the quality of the shops because less than half are open for business.

There's a strong smell of drying paint in some sections.

Rooftop pavilion area is totally unfinished—no eating or drinking places set up there yet.

Rimping Market was not open.

There looks to be almost no seating for the food court area in the basement—maybe they're trying to encourage take-away?

The Starbucks looks really small and cramped.

Ground floor seems like a lot of wasted space. It has a few diamond shops and a group of small auto showrooms.

Watson's is much smaller than the ones at Kad Suan Kaew and Airport Plaza.

Overall, the design is nice and modern. But many of the chain shops seem like mini versions of themselves.

I'd say wait a few weeks to see what it will look like when everything is set up properly.

They really rushed to get it open, and the first impression is one of a half-finished mall, yet they still set up all the goofy VIP stuff for the big opening so a small portion of the Thai population can feel like they're important.
