g00dgirl Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I know that there is a Tesco Lotus open already in Krabi. What other shopping malls are there, and what else is planned? Is a Central Festival, Carrefour and a Big C planned or already under contruction as well? I read somewhere last year that they had already dedicated a site in Krabi town for a Central Festival, but don't remember where I read that.

Daffy D Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 There is now a Big C and Home Pro on the same road not far from Tesco. There is also a Macro but not sure where that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soontorn Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 It is great to have Tesco Lotus, BigC (jointly owned by the French Casino Group and Central) and Makro in Krabi, but if you look at the product line (Tesco Lotus and BigC) it is obvious that foreign food is limited and more expensive than Phuket as well. Both shopping centre do mainly focus on the local Thai market and even the Major Multiplex cinema at Tesco Lotus is only in Thai language. Have a close look and you notice that the crowds in both shopping centers are small and therefore I really have my doubts that another shopping center will open soon.

g00dgirl Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Very intersting Soontorn, useful information. I wouldn't have thought it, no English movies and different product range than Tesco and Big C Phuket, good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlx Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 even the Major Multiplex cinema at Tesco Lotus is only in Thai language. not true, i have seen a couple of (thai) movies there with english subtitles. not sure about the farang films, didn't pay attention, but i assume they would be in english with thai subtitles.

Soontorn Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I was actually talking about foreign movies that are only in Thai language, no English soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlx Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 hm maybe, but if they bother to put english subs on the thai films than i am sure there is an english version of the farang films too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

up-country_sinclair Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 AFAIK, all the foreign films at Tesco have a Thai language soudtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g00dgirl Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Did they open a Central Department store in Krabi yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nattymatt Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I can't see a Central opening in Krabi for a long time which is a massive shame.....would you rent a unit at Central in Krabi? As Big C now own Carrefour there won't be one of them either. There is a new retail centre being built in Krabi on the river road........or so i hear anyway....beware the grape vine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
