But we've got several much newer malls and I thought Central Festival was the biggest. Anyways, no big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHTel Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I've just read a couple of dozen of Gemini's posts. Is he for real or dropped in from another planet? His posts are full of misinformation. I've never come across anyone (and especially Thai people) with so much 'over the top' adulation for Thailand and the authorities. If Gemini is a genuine poster, then I wish him all the luck in the world while living in Neverland. Give my regards to Tinkerbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Glad somebody likes the malls. Personally I think they are an incarnation of the Palace of Belsebub where you roast slowly on a stick eating tasteless chain restaurant fodder while your wife spends your money on overpriced items. Well, enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siam Paragon and Central World might be the biggest but I really like two of the newer ones - Embarquier and Central Embassy which, when the connection to the Central Department Store is considered, must have many square meters of floor space. The newer malls are not in the Wikipedia article. Just curious OP. How do you get between floors on your scooter? Perhaps there are large elevators(?) .....maybe things look bigger if your sitting in a wheelchair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere did I suggest only farangs have money. Rich Thai people get old, too. OK, cool. I think the Thai gov't has been encouraging more consideration for the handicapped for some time, actually.

Anyone who has lived in Bangkok for more than 10 years. Anyone who likes going to malls and has done a bit of research to see which ones are the biggest (and best). Sounds like a very valid question to me and one that many people would know the answer to. Personally I find Seacon to be a pretty crummy mall, I prefer the flashier new ones particularly EmQuartier. Great shops and much more convenient to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By pure size, since around January, Future Park Zpell is now the largest mall in Thailand, at least according to their website. Other metrics could conceivably yield different results (using GLA for example instead of absolute size), so I think at some point it stops making sense trying to rank them other than by saying, "really, really big." http://www.zpellshopping.com/en/page/about Edited October 8, 2016 by Monomial typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotheruser Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) When I came to Thailand back in 1896 although my memory sometimes fails me, It was perfect and I have seen a sharp decline in the past 120 years. I think the OP is rather selfish to be so happy about a mall that benefits only himself while providing the local population much needed jobs. I have fond memories of sitting in the rain riddled tin shacks and somebody had a couple of silent films they played on a projector against the one wall we had in the corner. I think the OP is being a little self indulgent to enjoy a mall that seems to be built solely for his own benefit and simply destroys the values of a once great country. Sometimes we should sacrifice wheel chair accessibility for the greater good. Just my two cents. Edited October 8, 2016 by anotheruser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
