Every time I've been there lately the mall has been virtually deserted, even in the week between Christmas and New Year. The Supermarket is no longer open 24 hours and closes at 10 pm.

 

I'm pretty sure a lot of retailers are hurting there. All the biggies such as Watsons, Boots, Black Canyon are deserted, whereas the same at Central Mall are always pumping.

 

Just so you know, I'm not one of those anti-mall members who is wishing them to fail... 

 

Big C (near the beach) looks nice after the renovations and that opened just before Christmas. They have a very nice food court which is a bit more up-market than Central Mall on Beach Road. That could also be hurting Harbor Mall.

I agree, it looks worse now , it's a big mall and the family activities in the top floor attracts a lot of Thai families , but downstairs not a lot of business . 

Like condos in Jomtien, how many malls are too many 

Hopefully they will see a business uptick when the tunnel construction is completed since the stretch from the Third Road junction to Sukhumvit sees a lot less passing road traffic at the moment (tour buses don't count). It is a decent alternative source for tech stuff, toys and groceries as well as having large, quiet coffee and lunch outlets with the benefit of good parking. Certainly could be a first stop for darksiders if/when they ever complete the Soi Siam Country Club's east-end minefield.

Is Fitness First Open?

Seems busy enough today.

In the Kidzoona play area with daughter and friends watching the staff run a game of musical chairs and blasting out 'I'm a trumpsta <deleted>' on their portable PA thingy.

Edit: TV automatically deletes the last word of the song but it is not a nice one!

is the ice skating rink open yet ?

I was there a few weeks ago:

 

-- No sign of a skating rink (but I did see a children's play area)

-- No sign of fitness first (not even a sign of a sign) -- I'm thinking they may not be going there after all?

-- It was a bit quiet but otherwise nice.

Looks like more stores have shuttered beyond what was arguably called standard 'retail churn' earlier in this thread. However, I still think that once the Sukhumvit tunnel is completed and there's a better flow of traffic each-way past their ample parking that things may improve. It's location may be a bonus in regard to being the easiest place to hit first coming from the dark side and beyond or last place to hit going to the dark side... and beyond.

They have finally arranged undercover motorcycle parking, in the carpark. Yay!!!!

Farangs just dont go to this mall hardly at all.....

 

I guess they are waiting for the ice-skating rink...

If you want a quieter place to dine and have a coffee, it's ideal.

 

 

Hopefully it sticks around -- nice to have an option on that side of Central Pattaya.  It looked like a decent mall with a decent selection and even decent restaurants :)

 

 

yes its got lots of comfy sofas to chill out on too

When the tunnel is finished and Pattaya Klang is

opened up 100%,    the flow of cars turning right into this mall

will create a fantastic traffic jam in Klang. 2 cars wide.

making pattaya Klang 1 lane wide. at best.

Imagine if there  was no traffic lights at the Big-C extra turning. !!!!

That is what Harbour mall will be like.

If it ever gets that busy, there's absolutely nothing to stop the city fathers inserting... a traffic light!

 

To be more realistic, there's likely to be more traffic interference from the BiB's currently ill-placed motorbike helmet check point east-bound up near the Sukhumvit junction.

 

I know it's hard but do try and stay positive.

Your be fine on your motor bike, 

As this is the  only transport that will get you across town in under 1 hour soon.

 

 

 

Do they not use roundabouts here?

there are 2 that I know of in Pattaya  and one has been blocked off so its a semi roundabout

this one still works as it should.

With respect, that roundabout is terrible.  It's too small for the 2 lanes to go around it properly, so right at that roundabout, you've got to merge with the other lane.  Quite dangerous especially if there is a bus.

 

Add to that local drivers have no idea how these things work.  It's basically a free for all! LOL

Yes but they are useless  in Thailand

as it requires multi tasking  to navigate them safely.

 

You see the local  problem  ?
