The new Venezia Shopping complex
Does anybody know if the Villa Market shop at Venetia has opened yet, or if not, when it is opening?

If you don't need Villa Market, Venezia is worth a visit now. Gondola rides, kid's activities and many shops are all open.

The place is a bit of a down market and much smaller copy of Villaggio Mall in Doha, Qatar

I shall have to take a look when I get back to Hua Hin.
I remember Villaggio well I used to live just over the road from there, when I worked in Qatar.

I lived just the other side of the sports complex by the aquatic centre, good days over there. I see they just jailed Sheikh Ali Bin Jassim Al Thani, one of the co-owners, he is also currently Qatar's ambassador to Belgium, while Iman al-Kuwari, the other co-owner, is the daughter of Qatar's culture minister.

Re: The new Venetia Shopping complex
Drove over for a visit on Monday. Luckily I was also going to Thai Watsadu so at least the fuel wasn't totally wasted. Big, big disappointment. I read some time ago that the reason the opening was being delayed was to ensure that the quality and accuracy of the build was spot on. Well, I hate to see what the place will look like in another twelve months - lots of problems with the finished product and quite honestly it is still a bit of a ghost town - or maybe they are still working through the "snag list". It may have been a better idea to wait till all was finished before opening the limited number of shops. I suppose it will fill up on the weekend with curious visitors from Bangkok.
Re: The new Venetia Shopping complex
I too decided to visit on Monday after the above recommendation. What a waste of time and fuel. Most shops empty or closed -builders everywhere. I then decided to visit the new floating market near Wat Huay Mongol -Even fewer shops open and the only thing floating was rubbish.plum wrote:If you don't need Villa Market, Venezia is worth a visit now.

Re: The new Venetia Shopping complex
Any update on this place? Will be coming over in February. Worth a look?

Re: The new Venetia Shopping complex
If your coming in February, there's every chance it will be finished or thereabouts by then - maybe best to ask the same question in January?Kraka's Dad wrote:Any update on this place? Will be coming over in February. Worth a look?
Re: The new Venetia Shopping complex
Its been 'open' for a few weeks now. There's more and more coming on line daily, but it'll still be a while before everything is open.
It is worth seeing, although be prepared for Disneyland as opposed to authenticity. Nice for a walkabout, but you'll need a mortgage before you can afford to shop there. At least one of the restaurants has received a favourable write up.
