thaibeachlovers Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Kad Suan Kaew is not dead, but it sure needs a face job. Otherwise, Mania seems to have his head on straight. I couldn't care less how it looks, but it really needs more public toilets. Worst mall I've ever been in for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyL Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Oh, the toilet situations is very bad at KSK. Actually, I'm rarely there long enough that the need arises and when it does it's to up the the second floor of Central Dept store to the best toilets in the place, back behind their little auto parts and tool dept. Kind of a long trip when I'm shopping at Tops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beb Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I worry about Promenada as it's my favorite destination. Mainly because the lack of crowds and the great theater experience. Uni qlo is supposedly being replaced by a discount clothing store (I thought uni qlo's selection was fine, along the lines of a "Gap") but worry that it will never happen. The Mexican joint that is opening soon seems to be forever delayed. Just a shame because for me Promenada is the perfect shopping center, one that nobody goes to! bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clokwise Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Now the 2nd floor food court is gone, as are most of the shops and restaurants nearby it. Section by section it seems to be winding down.

maanoi Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 So my wife was at Prom today and saw builders working on fitting out a shop on the ground floor. She asks them what shop is coming. The builder said Immigration. She asks is it immigration for Myanmar (like the one over the road) or farangs, builder says farang. It's the shop that used to have the FX Dance club signs up for over 1 year, which is a decent size. This would be pretty great if true, although we will have to wait and see if they can do important stuff like extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The builder said Immigration. She asks is it immigration for Myanmar (like the one over the road) or farangs, builder says farang. Now that would be a great move for immigration which is currently housed in a facility far too small for its needs. Just having adequate parking for those of us who visit immigration from outside the city would be a major improvement. And it would also be good for the owners of the mall to have a large captive audience every day waiting for over an hour to have their visas processed. Just think about it, go get your visa renewed, go see a movie and pick up passport with new visa after the movie, or just be able to sit and have a meal while renewal is being processed. Crikey, the owners of The Prom should be willing to lease out the storefront for free and still come out ahead assuming they get a cut of sales in their leases.

Well you make it sound good but unless Bangkok hires more staff all you will be getting is a bigger area to sit around in and better parking. I would imagine when they are done processing it they will want to give it to you rather than wait for the movie to get out. Also the 90 day reports you run the risk of losing your spot in the line what with the newer system. You might be off shopping or grabbing a bite when your number comes up. On the really positive side it will be cooler. Let us just hope that Bangkok also increases the man power.They have already authorized 15 more staff members but Chiang Mai is not allowed to do the hiring. Bangkok will do the hiring. So far in the last year they have done nothing in that respect. I think the progect woul;d be Dukes approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you would have to do most of the planning for the project. It would be a massive thing to get it through out the Mall. Being tech challenged I would not even know where to begin. How ever if you are tech savvy and willing I bet they would at least talk with you about it. Goes with out saying they would want a work permit.

thaibeachlovers Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Prices like DUkes? I don't get that one Must be great being so affluent that you don't get it. A meal there can cost as much as a rice farm worker's monthly wage. In recent years I have kind of lost my taste for large western mealsso cannot really comment on Dukes meals prices but............ I will say I do still need a burger once a month or so & the burger at Dukes is not only quite good & consistent but priced lower than a dbl cheeseburger set at Mcdonalds That is saying something considering the two meals. I don't know about rice farmers but at both Dukes & McDee's I always see many Thai customers at prime times I always see many Thai customers at prime times??? Plenty of very wealthy Thais around, but I guarantee you won't see any rice farm workers eating at Dukes, though their children might be serving you. My father in law is a rice farmer and he eats at Dukes once a month, has been doing that since it opened. His rice field is not far away. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/823863-second-rice-crop-planting-ban-takes-toll-on-farmers/page-4#entry9390534 I guess the Duke days are over for him then.
