World Trade Center Bangkok (Central World Plaza) - Thailand - Tailandia - Bangcoc

Fazendo compras pelo World Trade Center, de Bangkok. Encontra-se de tudo por la, de todo o mundo. Excelente.Eh o maior shopping da capital tailandesa. Enorme, com uma linda praca na frente, um telao. Frequentemente acontecem shows, espetaculos, eventos no local. While being the largest shopping center in town, the front of Central World does not offer a lot of distinctive features. Even the sign displaying its name is undersized. There used to be a very large shopping complex at Rajaprasong Intersection called World Trade Center. A few years back the property was acquired by the Central Group, the largest developer of department stores in Thailand. While World Trade Center was quite an adequate name, the shopping complex was renamed Central World Plaza, and lately seems to go under the abbreviated name Central World. The shopping center has been renovated and expanded (works are still going on) and is being relaunched and rebranded as the largest lifestyle shopping complex in Southeast Asia. It is not quite clear that Bangkok needed an even more expanded Central World, but that is what we (and foreign visitors who come to shop) got. Besides the shopping experience, there is also an office complex, and an hotel under construction. One can not escape the impression that the management of the Central Group could not live with the success of its main competitor, the Mall Group, after they developed the successful Emporium Shopping Complex, and the recently (end 2005) opened Siam Paragon. Siam Paragon in particular got a lot of press as being the largest venue in town. Now, Central World can reclaim that accolade. As said, under the name World Trade Center, this shopping complex has been around for quite a while, and the basic structure of the building could not really be altered. From the outside, Central World looks like a rectangular large box. There is not much beauty involved or architectural achievement. Admittedly there is still some construction going on between the skytrain and the main body of the complex, and from models available, this will make the structure a bit more eyecatching. In front of Central World, there is a large rectangular square. In the evening, huge crowds often gather here to have a drink in the open air bars.
