pattaya127 Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 The Market Pattaya opens with a bang Suchada Tupchai Pattaya newest addition to the shopping scene, The Market Pattaya, held its grand opening last Friday with a spectacular fireworks display that lit up the skies over the city. The buttons is pressed for the official opening of The Market Pattaya with a fantastic fireworks display lighting up the skies over the city. The Market Pattaya is now officially open as the city most complete shopping experience. We have 450 shops and stalls in nine separate zones. It is our intention to make The Market Pattaya as successful as the Chatuchak Market in Bangkok, said marketing director Chatree Sophonburanarak, aka Meng Jatujak, in his opening address. The fun and festivities kicking off the new 800-million-baht market began the previous day, Thursday April 15, as models dressed as mermaids flaunted their assets to promote the opening while spraying passers-by. Much to the delight of hot-blooded males but to the dismay of conservative officials, one model, identified only as Nong bared her breasts, which were covered with only nipple stickers. Nong Bo, Pattaya's answer to Janet Jackson, turned more than a few heads with her chosen apparel, or lack of, during the grand opening ceremonies. The main opening events began at midday on Friday, with the crowds attracted to numerous shows and activities, pageants and a som tam eating competition. Chanyuth Hengtrakul, adviser to the minister of tourism and sport, kicked off an aerobics session at 5 p.m. At 7.30 p.m., guests and management from The Market Pattaya gathered on stage as Santsak Ngamphichet, chief adviser to the minister of tourism and sport, pressed the button to launch the spectacular pyrotechnics display.

Then top Thai models strutted the catwalk, each breaking out of booths set up around the stage symbolizing the various zones inside The Market Pattaya. The entertainment continued into the night as famous Thai singers Mike Bhiromporn and Mai Chareonpura took to the stage amid great fanfare. The new center has been divided into a variety of themed zones, including fashion and fashion accessories, IT and electric goods, home decoration, OTOP, art and crafts, textiles, and international and fast food sections. Chatree also revealed that market research showed the potential group of shoppers as 50 percent local based and 50 percent from the tourist sector - both Thai and foreign tourists. Eventually, they expect between 30,000 to 60,000 people daily to visit The Market. The company has budgeted 30 million baht for promotions and advertising for the rest of the year and will have invested a total of 950 million baht.

The company has budgeted 30 million baht for promotions and advertising for the rest of the year and will have invested a total of 950 million baht. I went there 3 days ago (May the 5th). Nice, spacious, still easy to find a parking. However, the shops appeared to be too spacious for the merchandise they carry. Understocked, some of them. The Carefour main shop is a world class - bigger and better than many in BKK. One souvenir vendor apologised for having only one sample of each item. I wanted to buy 10 elephant-driver hats (light to carry in the empty suitcase on my way back) but he could produce only 2 pieces. They will catch up with demand, I'm sure. All in all, a good place, will see me again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
