OMGImInPattaya Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) As has been mentioned briefly a few times already, the Darkside is about to get its first proper shopping mall, The Chill, located about mid-way up soi Khow Noi and opposite Chock Chai Garden 5 village. Now for some this may be another sign of the end-times but for this Darkside it's a welcome thing. It looks to be about a month or two away from completion; and is a large enclosed two story structure, with an underground garage. The glazing has just gone in. It will be interesting to see what, if any, name brand stores and restos take a flyer on the spending power of the Darkside and take up residence in the mall. Stay tuned for further updates as they happen... Edited November 6, 2016 by OMGImInPattaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevkev1888 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 My vote is for KFC, McD, Burger King, Subway. But that's just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 No doubt Powerbuy will take a punt, as will many clothes shops selling endless variations of shirts and dresses. What really matters is which supermarket moves in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digbeth Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 My guess is that none of the Bangkok brands will move in and it'll be empty of tenants and derelict in no time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some new housing going in the area as well, some high density, so should provide a base level of customers. Also NY Pizza has just opened their 2nd branch just down the block so some businesses are doing ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabhand Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Likely that a bank or two might set up inside the mall. That should help the footfall. Thinking of SCB in particular as they have recently closed their branch located on Khao Noi. It seemed a strange decision given that they had been open for a number of years and closing it down just when the potential customer base was increasing didn't seem to make too much sense.

I wonder if that will that be a larger Tops or one of those small ones that carry about the same local-market stock that Tesco Lotus Express and Mini C does?

johnnybgood Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 *Fingers crossed* for a decently large sized supermarket on the Darkside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keesters Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Just received a load of coupons from Tops as a promotion for the Grand Opening of Tops market 19 Dec 2016 at The Chill Pattaya. Let's not kid ourselves this is not in PATTAYA. Call it what you like but it will never be PATTAYA. Pattaya ends at around the railway lines. Stop the geographical lies. It's like saying Mount Everest is in India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coupons from Tops are named incorrectly as this new shopping mall is not called "The Chill Pattaya" so getting you panties in a twist over the name is rather amusing !!

joepattaya1961 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 FYI........MOST events, amusement-parks, landmarks and even the nearest airport is referred to as being in Pattaya. "The Chilled Pattaya" sounds a lot better than "The Chilled Nongprue", at least most people will assume that The Chilled is within a 50 km range from Pattaya City.

joepattaya1961 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 But ok, back to the Chilled........ went in there last week. Apart from a well-sorted Tops, a hair dresser, a Watson's, a coffee shop and a bank under construction there's not much The 2nd floor isn't even open yet. Lot's to be done!!

Yeah I went in last week (tops is a bit dispointing for a "big" weekly shop but wiil come in handy if I need something urgently) was hoping to see what the DIY store is but alas. not much at all open yet.

johng Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I went to the chilled today it was quite refreshing in that there where no problems parking because of only a very few people using the place The tops is quite big and has a mini restaurant a bit like "took le dee" second floor has lots of under construction area but the star of the place for me was "Mr DIY" shop a bit like Amorn with less electronics emphasis but the prices are so low its almost unbelievable well worth a look.

NanLaew Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Checked out Mr D.I.Y. about an hour ago. A bit like Amorn used to be years ago but with a much better selection. Much bigger than Amorn and the pricing looks keen as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
