Any thoughts about Korat's new Terminal 21?

[watcharacters]

 

 

Is it fully up and running?    Crowds?

[DILLIGAD]

Yes and traffic.

Seemed world class to me. I was most impressed with the green and red lights over each parking space indicating open or full. The toilet room was pretty impressive also. Luckily I didn't have to sit as I saw no instruction manual for the commode.
Also the up and down escalators were adjacent rather than making you walk halfway around to get out.

Hello All, I was there last week and they finally had ICE, but it didn't

look like it was not open for public yet, to the right of the theaters.

Get your priorities straight. What about FOODLAND ?

Where is the Terminal 21 exactly.  I would be driving down the No 2 road from Khon Kaen.  Do I follow the signs for Saraburi or not?

When you get to Korat follow the first signs you come upon to the left. I think they say Nakhon Ratchasima and Buriram.....this leads straight onto the main road into 

 Korat and this is the road that has Macro, Big C and now Terminal 21 on it, stay on this road until you get into town and T21 will be on your right.If you look up you can't miss the T21 tower high in the sky.

Do not follow the signs for Saraburi as this is the by pass and you will miss all Korat.

Thanks happylarry. I'll give it a go next time I'm on the road.

Seems like a lot of building to largely provide a load more places to eat and drink. it felt like half of it was food and drink; and over half of the people inside were using these establishments. Like the new bit on the mall.

 By passing Korat sounds a good idea. Not my favourite place. The way surrounding towns are expanding ie Big C, Tesco, Makro etc, Korat will soon be on the decline.

I passed T21 Korat yesterday by car, but even it was a Friday afternoon, there seemed to be no crowds entering or leaving the main entrance. T21 is a very interesting concept, and the food court of T21 in Bangkok is by far the cheapest nationwide of any mall (hence almost impossible to get a seat at any time of the day), but I doubt there are enough patrons in Korat of the kind they attract in Bangkok. Bangkok's T21 is extraordinarily popular with the young and trendy East Asian crowd. Still, it will make dull Korat more attractive. Ah, and to experience the AC is entirely free so go there in April and May  ;-)

What floor is Foodland located.

[happylarry]

Basement right at the front nearest to Mirratrap road.

And Foodland is open 24 hours. Don't know how much longer that will last as how many people in Korat shop after 10pm.

Wife and her girl gang has been 3 or 4 times but the novelty seems to have worn off already. 

 

I went once.  Foodland, the small baking/supply shop on the ground floor and of course the Cheap and Good cafeteria outside Foodland, were the only things that I found useful.

 

Been back to the good old Mall at least 4 times since.  The last visit, Mrs said they were doing away with the free parking policy enacted as part of their T21 induced anxiety.   I wonder if they now think T21 isn't quite the threat they'd anticipated.

 

Be interesting when Central opens this Fall with a TOPS Supermarket providing another layer of variety.  Maybe they'll put a bowling alley in.  Korat doesn't need 3 ice skating rinks.
