BluPort Entrance Renovations/Internal Reorganisation
Re: BluPort Entrance Renovations
I wonder if they'll need a crossing guard to get people across the pump track safely and in through the main entrance.

Re: BluPort Entrance Renovations
Stupid idea. Let's attract lots of kids who have no money to purchase anything, but will loiter around taking up space.

Well, like I said, from the pic they have shown, it doesn't appear to impact on the entrance.

Re: BluPort Entrance Renovations
I find it interesting that our lives are so small that we get all excited about entrances to malls, a 20 baht discrepancy between Thai and Farang prices, the lack of good cigars and a myriad of other quibblings. In the meantime, I shall duck behind the closed bars in Bintabaht to dodge the coming bricks.

Re: BluPort Entrance Renovations
^^It's not a matter of small lives, more a measure of how fortunate most forum members are to have so little to really worry about.
And having said that, few of us are prepared to air our real, life-affecting concerns in public.

Re: BluPort Entrance Renovations
I've driven past this morning, and you are correct. As you look at Bluport from the road it is the right hand side of the new frontage.

Re: BluPort Entrance Renovations
Just heard on the radio that The Mall Group is pulling out of the Blúport shopping centre after making continuous losses since it opened.
I reckon that could easily be its death knell.

Re: BluPort Entrance Renovations
The mall group own bluport. Doesn't that mean that if they pull out of bluport it closes down unless they can find a buyer for it ?
Complicated by the top 2 floors (including cinema ?) being converted into rooms for the intercontinental - or is that postponed ?
A real mess.

Re: BluPort Entrance Renovations
But what about when tourists start flocking back later this year? Surely they should wait, knowing the recovery is just around the corner.
No, not serious.

Re: BluPort Entrance Renovations
The Mall Group do not own Bluport. They are or were a partner in the business. The building was built and is owned by the same group that own the Intercontinental, Holiday Inn and Water Park.fft100 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 11:59 am The mall group own bluport.

Why would anyone convert a shopping area to new rooms of an already empty Hotel?
From the changes that are being made, it seems the intention is to continue using the building as a Mall. I hope Gourmet Market stays. I don't really care about the rest, although if Mall Group stuff does go, then that's less choice in town for electrical and other equipment.

Re: BluPort Entrance Renovations
It would seem strange (even for Thailand) that they have just spent time and money on this skate park thing, if the intention is to close Blueport?

Re: BluPort Entrance Renovations
They could turn the entire ground floor into a giant skate park, maybe auto races on the weekends. Keep your eyes open for huge sales.Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 12:53 pm It would seem strange (even for Thailand) that they have just spent time and money on this skate park thing, if the intention is to close Blueport?

Re: BluPort Entrance Renovations
Handdrummer & dtaai-maai,
You both speak the truth, these are petty unimportant topics for the most part, aired by privileged Westerners, and no solution will occur because a bunch of us farang talk about it it in own little world.
But I look at the forums like small talk, chit-chat on topics that are our shared experience. Sometimes the information is invaluable, often funny, occasionally sad, but mostly unimportant in the real scheme of things.
Plus you are both regular contributors to said topics

Re: BluPort Entrance Renovations
Obviously the skate park is a temporary attraction. They haven't dug 2 meter deep concrete skate bowls or 6 meter high tube. I think it will end up being similar to Market Village; clothes, plants, mango festivals, Chang food festivals, etc
