Grumpy one 2,783 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Looks like this complex will soon be another white elephant down here, along with the Swiss Sheep Farm and Camel World Another one was The Vanesia shopping complex, a real mega shopping mall with a mega parking fee. Now its a ghost town. Who thinks these places will make money? I hope the investors are not in a rush to see any profits in this life time Link to post Share on other sites

A 1% of something is better than 100% of nothing but good luck trying to explain that to them. Plenty of places in CM lowered prices, but stupid to lower prices below your costs of business Link to post Share on other sites

In fact all the times I visited, I would say was at least 90% Thai customers...unless it has changed in the past year or so. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

All this to see a semblance of a Greek island, luxury stores. We never returned. Better go to Greece, and for the stores, we go to BLUPORT, and in addition it is cool. Agreed. I checked it out and was disappointed in the attractions. It's really just a shopping mall. Link to post Share on other sites

Many finish already. Can't deny a bit of "schadenfreude". But I'd wish this crisis had a kind of a "reboot" effect so that, maybe one day, we could experience again the Thai look and feel of 30 years ago. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
