PattyR Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Can't find a website anymore about Central Plaza Ubon. http://www.centralplaza.co.th/ubonratchathani/index It doesn't look like their website has been updated lately. I find their Facebook page is more up to date with events & activities. But seems it's only in Thai. https://www.facebook.com/CentralPlazaUbonratchathani?rf=474993242567649 It looks like their Mid Year Annual Sales is going on now until Aug4,2013.

chris26be Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I have just visited Central Plaza Ubon for the very first time. I found it a bit disappointing. Am I the only one to feel that way?? (Leave out the banks and the restaurants, and there isn't much left, is there?). Must admit, I didn't walk in into Robinson yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only one to feel that way?? (Leave out the banks and the restaurants, and there isn't much left, is there?). Must admit, I didn't walk in into Robinson yet. Disappointing compared to what? Siam Paragon in BKK? Definitely. Compared to any of the "malls" in Ubon, I'd say it's way more upmarket than all of them and nice to haves shops I visit like JIB computers and AIIZ in one place. I found it funny watching all the little farmer couples walking round in their plaid shirts carry no shopping, looking clueless as to what they were supposed to be doing there. I've also not been to Robinson's yet but Tops has a very good sushi station which is something we miss from Bangkok Tops. The kid's play area is pretty good, as is the arcade. The food court wasn't though as everything we ordered from 3 different shops all had the same weird bitter taste. We've been to Sizzler three times already, which was something we were looking forward to! I've still yet to shop in Powerbuy or go to the cinema, but nice to have them here when I need them. I don't know what you were expecting for Ubon, but it meets my expectations. It's also handy being next to HomePro as it means I don't have to drive all over Ubon anymore to do the usual shopping, I can just go here and BigC and then go back home without almost hitting so many reckless people on scooters as usual. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like Central. So convenient for a person like myself who works. Three minutes from my house. Banks are open until about 8 pm. The phone shops are there. Tops is a nice size, in that I don't get lost. I can get my coffee beans from Central America at Starbucks. The little bread shop in front of Tops sells my sort of bread. Tops itself sells wine at about 200 baht/bottle more expensive than I can buy from my shop outside (same brand, same vintage). I find Robinson great. Already I have purchased several items of clothing. The sports shop has everything I want. The book shop the same. Food. I have eaten at Sizzler three times and each time the price has increased. Still I have gone back. The Japanese/Korean/thai food shops don't interest me. It is the convenience of Central that I like. However, for eating out, restaurants in the city are superior. I will continue to go to Robinson/Ying Yong in the city because it is also convenient for me on Sundays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergen Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) Tops is good as it has an additional selection of food that cannot be found elsewhere in Ubon so far! Edited July 12, 2013 by bergen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Tops is good as it has an additional selection of food that cannot be found elsewhere in Ubon so far! Marmite ? I had a Bigmac, it was dreadful, went in Robinsons for a re-chargeable beard trimmer, near 5000bht (thats over 100 quid. I smiled, went to BigC and found one for 290 bht. That works great.

ubonjoe Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Tops is good as it has an additional selection of food that cannot be found elsewhere in Ubon so far! Save 28 baht (52 vs 80) per pack of filters for my coffee maker compared to Tesco. It is a nice change to look for few different items than other places.

They are most likely experiencing a bad case of "sticker shock". I must admit that when I was there, it kind of felt like I was back in my home country.

KunMatt Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 What about my Marmite ? Anyone found any, anywhere in Ubon. Please Yeah we need a Villa Market in Ubon. In the meantime you can always order Marmite and whatever else you are missing from this company; http://www.buntersfoodsbkk.com/order.html 125g for 170 baht is steep, but how much do you miss it?? Villa in BKK sell the 250g for 280 baht and I bought a few of them over the 3 months we were just there, I was pretty devastated when the bag broke and the first big jar I bought smashed on our condo reception floor! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is only 4 baht more than Villa in BKK. Right, that's one check off the list. Now, any news on that Bangkok Hospital or the new International School??

Patriot Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 One disappointing aspect about Central Plaza which is quite Western oriented, is that they do not have movies in English. Sunee no longer show movies with English soundtrack and I thought SF Cinema at Central would. There have been some good movies in the past 6 months and almost none in English. I went to the SF Cinema at Central Ubon today, found the whole experience superb. Extremely comfortable seats, perfect sound, AC not too cold, very professionally organised. The one downside is that I have now been asked to grow a beard by my wife. The movie we saw was "Wolverine" and she said that with my shirt off I looked like Hugh Jackman.

Your respective wives, girlfriends, Mothers-in law, children will love it, had me in stitches. Mum Jokmok is a genius; get amongst it!! Enjoy!! Thanks for the information Patriot. I thought the first Yaem was very funny, second quite good; and I think Mum Jokmok is a very funny and talented performer. I'll get there during the second week; hope they will still be showing some with sub-titles. Elwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
