Fat is a type of crazy Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I can remember around 2004 myself and my then girlfriend were staying in an apartment off Nanai 2. It was kind of cool because you could get to the town in a couple of minutes through a tip without going the long way around. There was a kind of shanty town next door where all the workers building Jung Ceylon stayed and at night they would sit around and have a beer. Those were the days when Ocean Plaza was king - in some ways Patong seemed more fun without the big shopping centre. My girlfriend arrived in Australia on the morning of 26 January 2004 - same time the tsunami hit Patong. I would think Jung Ceylon will bounce back - not like they're going to knock it down. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterw42 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) It was always very expensive and catered only to big spending tourists. A lot of restaurants and clothes etc, way more expensive than Australia. If there were a few shops and restaurants catering to your average Thai or average tourist, it would probably still be open.

Popular Post Old Croc Posted March 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2021 I would expect higher prices from tenants at a high end shopping mall situated in one of the busiest tourist precincts in the world. Rent must be astronomical. Of course even the biggest and best crash when the customer base almost completely disappears overnight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
