Pantip was great in 2016, remember A&W root beer at the entrance. But Rama9 is a good area too. One of the best things living in Bangkok is fantastic food courts. Nothing like 'em in the states.
The entrepreneur spirit in Thailand is extremely admirable. New business energy, dreams, and hope are always present. Much effort went into this experiment, and everyone should visit soon and take photos, because in Thailand, the chance to do so might not be there 6 months from now. With the free air-conditioning, maybe a floor for university student housing would be a hit. Condo conversions need windows, but student housing isn't as particular. This mall has downtown proximity to shopping, a food court, transportation, and universities.
I do love that they are utilizing the Rooftop! Though they should’ve invested on a wonderful Phoenix like Element on the rooftop to Attract ppl! The glitching is unacceptable in the entrance and should revert to a solid color. They did a decent job!
Moin Jeroen! Du produzierst immer sehr interessante videos. Vielen Dank dafür! Ich bin echt neidisch auf dich, da Du in dieser phantastischen Mega City Bangkok leben darfst ;-)
Wow thanks Jeroen for this video letting me see how the Pantip Plaza where was always my shopping destination since my childhood is still be well doing today. I was going to this mall since its opening ~40 years ago when it wasn't even a mall full of IT goods. I watched movies, went to a concert, bought jet fighter models, and later years computer parts here. Yeah this memorial place of mine really reanimated from ashes now.
Look so amazing new shopping mall in Bangkok very modern style and good architecture But look a big quiet I hope will get busy soon Thanks for your update Watching from LasVegas
Thank you for making us discover this new mall. I live not very far from there and had no idea it had opened. I do wonder how shop owners make money and malls cover their costs with so many malls in a fairly small area of Bangkok, from the Phoenix all the way to the EmSphere which can be done within 6 BTS stations, and not counting all the other big malls of Bangkok.
This mall is currently owned by the same business owner as The One Bangkok, a mega project worth more than 120 billion baht or 3.8 billion usd. This Phenix Food Wholesale mall is positioned as a world food destination that will bring together restaurants, products and food items from around the world in this place. In addition to food, it is also a place for activities related to cooking competitions, live music, event performances, and there is a plan that there may be a request to extend Rachapasong or R skywalk from Platinum Mall to connect to this mall. This mall should have a very good future because it belongs to the same investment group as The One Bangkok, one of the mega real estate projects, and ThaiBev, one of the food and beverage giants company group. 😅
While I wasn’t a huge fan of the Pratunam area, it looks like it still has that authentic Thailand vibe, even with the newly renovated malls. No need to turn it into some high class luxury area.
No Dutch food stand??? This is an outrage! Ha. Thanks for the vid, Jeroen. Looks like a nice place to get lost for an afternoon. Hey, is the weather a bit cooler now? Or is this video from mid-morning or something, when temps are not so bad? Appreciate your work.
Nice video Jeroen, I have been several times to Pantip Plaza over the years I love computers and Photography and bought a camera lense there. At that time it really the place to be for this kind of things. Will do the anal boat trip next time when I'm in Bangkok again. I did not know there was a rooftop also cool.
Good video. 2:26 I think you'll find the IT Mall at Pantip did not move to Fortune Town, as there has been an IT Mall in Fortune for many years already whilst Pantip was operating. Given the choice of going to either, Fortune always wins as its on an MRT line whereas Pantip now Phenix is a pain to get to and always will be unfortunately.
Always love the canal boat rides.
Thanks Jeroen! Always good seeing you.
I'm Thai, not living in Thailand. Thank you so much for updating the places. I'm excited every time u introduce new places.😊

Amazing how many good Malls Bangkok have.
Thanks for sharing! Always helpful
Thanks for sharing. Looks like a nice new mall.
Holy hell, the uncountable hours I spent in Pantip Plaza back in 2003. Good times!
Canal commute is amazing!! Another new thing in Bangkok thanks to the Mayor Jeroen! 😎 this mall looks amazing. From Pantip Plaza to this… nice!

Very nice, and a Pickup in 6th floor Rooftop.
I do love that they are utilizing the Rooftop! Though they should’ve invested on a wonderful Phoenix like Element on the rooftop to Attract ppl! The glitching is unacceptable in the entrance and should revert to a solid color. They did a decent job!
Ciao Jeroen I have memories about panthip plaza😅!
everywhere in thailand so beautiful and amazing and modern

Thanks for your update
Watching from LasVegas
Great weer wat nieuws in bangkok
This looks a lot more better than the Old Fashioned Panthip Plaza. Now it have become a little bit more busier. 🙏
Another good walking option to get to the new Phenix mall is to take the BTS to Ratchathewi and walk east along Petchaburi road.
Bangkok is always reinventing itself! Thanks for this update, Jeroen.
Goodview of Bangkok Thailand

Shout out to the old Panthip Plaza and Loso's early 2000's Red Album. เวอร์ดเทรดก็ดูดีเอ็มเคสุกี้ก็ใช้ได้
I enjoyed the video, always looking for new things to do on out yearly visit to Bangkok. Hartelijk bedankt en hopenlijk vind je nog meer leuke dingen.
A very clear explanatory video.
Love it. This is the type of videos for all to emulate ✋
Malls we're initially built to give rural Thais air con on their weekends off. Some malls use more electricity than some provinces. Since 1971
Thanks for the update. We were there last December. I did quite a bit of shopping in the clothing district. Very fun for me.
Pantip is look so old. Can't believe Phenix look like the brand new building.
"Water gate" means "Pratunam".
Pratu = gate, door
Nam = water
Thanks Jerome for d update.
Greetings from Chicago!
Greeting back from BKK Scott ;-) Say hi to the family!
People like me tend to go to regular malls.... Newer ones may be just for a one time visiting experience....
Actually another informative video thank you so much 🎉
Top dit! Gelijk geabonneerd, laat maar komen ❤ Thailand
Welkom David ;-)
Love the canal boats easy and fast😊, always new things to explore, malls are also quite cool 😜 welcome in the heat 😅😅
Yes, great to cool off.
This is an updated news of this building for me as the old customer of Pantip Plaza (the legend of IT shopping center in BKK)
Thanks for this update mate!
Nice vlog
While I wasn’t a huge fan of the Pratunam area, it looks like it still has that authentic Thailand vibe, even with the newly renovated malls. No need to turn it into some high class luxury area.
Neither am i. It is cheap and bad quality
No Dutch food stand??? This is an outrage! Ha. Thanks for the vid, Jeroen. Looks like a nice place to get lost for an afternoon. Hey, is the weather a bit cooler now? Or is this video from mid-morning or something, when temps are not so bad? Appreciate your work.
I always put the time of filming at the beginning of the video. I think this was around 1 pm. It was sometime in the early afternoon.
The funny thing is that there is still not enough Malls in Bangkok 😂😂😂. Every mall that opens stays packed.😂😂😂
Nice video Jeroen, I have been several times to Pantip Plaza over the years I love computers and Photography and bought a camera lense there. At that time it really the place to be for this kind of things. Will do the anal boat trip next time when I'm in Bangkok again. I did not know there was a rooftop also cool.
Looks like it will be MBK in miniature.
Hi Jeroen. I saw a BeNeLux food stand.
All the best from Guido🙏
It was BeLux Guido. Bier en chocola 🤣
There's still The Pantip at Ngamwongwan mall. For IT most go to Fortune or Zeer if they don't buy online (simpler and cheaper).
Good video. 2:26 I think you'll find the IT Mall at Pantip did not move to Fortune Town, as there has been an IT Mall in Fortune for many years already whilst Pantip was operating. Given the choice of going to either, Fortune always wins as its on an MRT line whereas Pantip now Phenix is a pain to get to and always will be unfortunately.
Do you know that there is Sek Loso song called Pantip
I think this is the old Pantip Plaza! Maybe you've mentioned it but I've watched this video half without sound lol
Its indeed the old Panthip Plaza ;-)
Saw you filming few days ago at T21 Asok haha
Poland Holland, for most people outside europe it's the same 😉
Bad luck not finding any Dutch items in Phenix mall. That area is lively. How do you reckon Oliebollen would go in Thailand?
How do i find this place on google. Google map does not have it
I will miss the 6 floors of electronics.
Is there Jeffrey steakhouse
Did you put the sound effect of horn sound ?
I don't think so :-)
i can not find Phenix mall in google map. can you show me how to walk them from chit lom via skywalk? a map would be great
It's not on a google map yet. In the video I show exactly how to get there.
No Hollandse stroopwafels en Goudse kaas represented yet? misschien a gat in de markt ! :P
It's sad bkk doesn't have enough malls
ทำเลมันไม่ได้เหมาะให้ทำกิจการแบบนี้เลย ถ้าให้บิ๊กซีมาเปิดเป็นสาขาเพชบุรี ป่านนี้นั่งนับตังค์กันแล้ว กิจการแบบนี้ควรไปอยู่ตรงพัลลาเดียม หรือ เดอะมาร์เก็ต นี่ถ้าไม่รีบสร้างสะพานคนเดินข้ามคลองเชื่อมไปยังสยามพารากอน ระวังจะเจ๊งซ้ำซาก
Is your accent dutch? Having the hardest time placing it.
Ah, answered later in the video. I knew it! :)
Yes, Dutch indeed ;-)
Shopping malls in Canada look very boring compared to Thailand
Are there too many malls in Bangkok these days?
I was there in March and it looked very sad….. seems they don’t have enough food courts….
That was just what Bangkok was missing..another shopping mall 😂
LOS = Land of Shopping malls
ah. It an old transform mall so not a new mall.
Looks very empty at the moment
Lots of wasted space. Loads of food outlets and no where to sit and eat.
Danke für das Video. Wir werden es noch schnell besuchen bevor wir in den Flieger steigen. LG
OK, hey jetzt regnet es wieder auf genau die selbe zeit 😅
@@globaltravelmate 😅 Jap, da haben wir auch gerade wieder darüber gesprochen 😉😂
