jobin Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Conflicting info on free shuttle buses from city to this mall found on web. Best for me is bus pick-up at Nimmnam haemin area, or KSK. But 'update' schedule, no date given, shows bus only to big hotels south of city near moat. Giving poor grade to Prom for this convenience. Recent knowledge appreciated.

daoyai Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Took a look at their website, and it seems they dropped rout 2 and 3, must not have had the passengers to justify continuing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1Str8 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I really like that Promenada. It's too bad that very few people visit it because of its location. Maybe in ten years, when that area will be all built up..things will change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elektrified Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Just take a red bus there if you don't own a car. Many of them coming and going; dropping off and picking up passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masuk Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I caught a bus Friday night with a sign on it in English, clearly stating that its route started at Central Festival and fares were either 10B, 20B or 30B. He charged each of us 100baht to get to Thae Pae gate "as there were traffic jams'! Making hay while the sun shines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernjohn Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Took a look at their website, and it seems they dropped rout 2 and 3, must not have had the passengers to justify continuing. It is still miles ahead of KSK in free service to and from. 20 baht to one of the hotels it services and get the free shuttle there. A nice mall just lacking in customers and different shops. Not sure about how many customers it has as you can not stand in one place and see most of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This place is here for the long haul. And will do well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not have all the different shops as the others but I do like the lay out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkingTourist Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Took a look at their website, and it seems they dropped rout 2 and 3, must not have had the passengers to justify continuing. According to the following schedule there is a route 1 and 2 (no 3), but it’s in their news section without any date: http://www.promenadachiangmai.com/en/news-events/Update%20Shuttle%20Bus%20schedule/30 Does someone know if both routes are still being driven? I’m closest to Shangri-La Hotel, so would like to make use of their route 2 shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobin Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 I did catch the Prom bus at Amore Hotel, near Tha Pae gate, midday. The bus continued to other hotels, including for sure LeMeridien. Prompt, speedy and free. Getting to that hotel for me is a snap so all worked out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would of pointed to all the army guys at Thapae gate and said "too much, I go ask police." I bet the price would of dropped to a reasonable one then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m closest to Shangri-La Hotel, so would like to make use of their route 2 shuttle. Since I posted the above link, their web site has developed some issues. Anyway, I went to Shangri-La Hotel to catch the shuttle, here they had a printed schedule valid from July 1st, 2014. There are two routes, but the order of route two was different than on the site (which also meant the shuttle arrived 10 minutes later than what the online schedule said). The printed schedule has this number for their service center: 053-107888. So if you want to be sure about times/stops then I would suggest calling that number or ask for a schedule in one of the hotels listed on the route.

northernjohn Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Just take a red bus there if you don't own a car. Many of them coming and going; dropping off and picking up passengers. that would cost in the area of 150 to 200 baht. Take a red songthaew to the La Meridian or one of the others where they do have a pick up for 20 baht. Get the free one there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
