The Renovated Face Of Siam
As I was enjoying the relaxing taxi ride to work this morning, my driver took me along the route that goes by Siam Centre and I noticed that they are doing renovations.
Siam Centre has always been the poor cousin of the shopping complexes at Siam and it’s good news that they are fixing it up. With this new development, we now have construction work being done on Siam Paragon and renovation work on Siam Centre. All we need now is something at Siam Discovery and we’ll have a hat trick!
NOTE: For those that don’t know, the above shopping complexes are next to each other.
I’m happy that Siam Centre is being modernised, so long as they put those big cans of Vanilla Coke, that used to sit out the front, back where they were – they’re ever so nice to look at.
In case you didn’t know, Central World Plaza (formerly World Trade Center) is undergoing a complete overhaul this year (you may have noticed the contruction work at Zen Department Store, which will double in size). Central Pattana is spending mucha moolah to completely gut and renovate the place. I’ve seen the mock-ups of the all-new CWP (opening in 2006), and I have to admit that it’s quite impressive. Expect it to put Paragon to shame.
