You know, where all the other malls are because opening another giant mall is going to ease traffic congestion on Sukhumvit. vinapu, floridarob and khaolakguy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually just a franchise these days! Daddy415 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is located on the site of the old Washington Square beer bar area, which also had a theatre called Calypso(?) Cabaret. That may make it a bit more easy to place for some of more venerable members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reader Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 From Nikkei Asia BANGKOK -- Thai retailer The Mall Group opened its latest shopping center here Friday in a bid to create a new destination for tourists and shoppers in Thailand's capital. EmSphere, in the vibrant Sukhumvit dining and entertainment district, is a six-story attraction spanning 200,000 square meters with more than 300 tenants, including IKEA and restaurants. The mall with a direct walkway from the Phrom Phong BTS Skytrain station was packed with visitors on its first day. "The dining area has a lot more going on than other malls, so it's fun to just walk around here," said a 30-year-old local. The anchor tenant occupying one entire floor is IKEA, offering about 8,200 products from bedding to couches. That is about 20% fewer items than at the Swedish furniture retailer's larger store in a Bangkok suburb. But the new location is the company's first city center store in Southeast Asia and features showrooms geared for urban apartments in nearby high-rise buildings. It also offers items exclusively available there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 11 hours ago, reader said: the company's first city center store in Southeast Asia I wonder if the company here, means the mall group or ikea? If its ikea, the ikea branch in KL, Cheras, is right smack in KL city center, so that claim of it being the first ikea city center store in Southeast Asia is bs.

It's total PR B/S. Ikea has had a city centre store in Hong Kong for several decades! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
