Great pix as always

I never knew they would put a large screen tv at BigC. Also never thought about the one at Siam Discovery Center.. is it new also?

RafflesCity · November 2nd, 2003, 07:15 PM

I'm glad that they restored the interior of MBK. It was kinda drab 4 years ago.

But my favourite is Siam Discovery. It has a nice outdoor plaza and the place feels hip and cool.

kiku99 · November 2nd, 2003, 07:21 PM

Siam Discovery is cool. MBK doesn't look that nice but it sure is a great place for bargain shopping.

I don't think so., Because u can also find the "no photograp" sign at every entrances. I believes thats about the copy-right of the interior-design stuff...IMO:

Big Thanks to Chad. Yeah! I asked my friend to take a photo in Gaysorn Plaza for me.he said photos are not allowed.

Jo · January 16th, 2004, 12:42 PM

Has anyone been to Pratunam Complex yet? Some photos or words on how it is would be much appreciated

Hmm, I think I will go there soon, very soon....

kiku99 · January 16th, 2004, 06:12 PM

yeah, i would love to see pics of Pratunam Complex.
Too bad, many malls don't allow photographs. but i am sure they are not that strict though. because i remember some of my female friends used to take photos inside Seacon Square.

baqthier · January 16th, 2004, 09:47 PM

Nice pics Chad

Imperfect Ending · January 17th, 2004, 01:51 AM

Thanks Chad

I've never been to a mall over 3 stories

Jo · January 17th, 2004, 02:16 AM

Oh really? So does that mean LA malls are more spread out and rarely taller than 3 storeys?

BKKinTO · January 17th, 2004, 02:34 AM

Yes,malls here in Toronto also.No more than 3 floors.

Jo · January 17th, 2004, 02:50 AM

Oh okay.. sounds strange but maybe the have studied consumer behaviour and found it doesn't make sense to build them taller!?

Yep, now malls are getting bigger and taller.....for Example this 2 malls which situated in the heart of the city ; Pratunam Center contains 14 storey of shopping center and it's neighbor ; Platinum Fashion Mall which will rise 12 storey up.......What an upscale!!!

well........a security personnel stopped me from taking pictures inside MBK. Then I just carry my camera around and snapped without looking into the viewfinder (luckily it is a digital camera).....hehehe

I even managed to take pics of Gaysorn ( discreetly of course!

) even with its security looking at me because I had a camera with me!

BKKinTO · January 17th, 2004, 05:19 AM

I can't wait to see those malls when they finished.
