T
he Central Embassy in one of Bangkok’s
success stories. Opened up in May of
2014, it is something that has impacted
the Phatumwan area and has brought a
wonderful new vibe with its stylish and modernly
designed complex. One can do anything that pleases
the eye at the Central Embassy, be it shopping,
dining, relaxing or browsing, the mall truly brings
a sensation of diversity and range to the possibility
of the visitor. It is this that has led the mall to have
drawn an average of eighteen to twenty thousand
visitors every say since its inauguration.
These statistics were given to us by the managing
director of the Central Embassy mall Mr. Barom
Bicharnchitr and asserted that this was a progressive
cutting edge project. Addresses like this and many
more were the ones delivered at the one year
anniversary celebration of the mall. The event was
not short of expense, as forty million baht were set
aside in order to make it a wonderful evening. Mr.
Bicharnchitr continued: “On this special occasion,
we would like to reward our customers and thank
them for their support. We’ve joined hands with an
American art group FriendsWithYou which is known
globally to showcase their art installation for the first
time in South East Asia.” He said that they would
create a concept for entire families to enjoy, what he
called was going to be known as Rainbow City.
The ceremony equally highlighted Korean artistry,
as the DJ was Yoon from Ambush Band, famous is
Korea. The event, which spread across four days,
saw a different type of concert every evening. On
the twenty eighth, we saw the band Tattoo Color
perform, on the twenty ninth we say Apiwat “stamp”
Eurthavornsuk, the day after was the turn of Kasidit
“Gene” Samniang and on the final day we had a
performance from Jetsetter. All of these were great
fun and well attended. There was equally a fashion
presentation that was given and a wonderful selection
of beverages and snacks to accompany this wonderful
occasion. The charitable highlight of the events that
led to the four day celebration was the “Sharing
is the Ultimate Happiness” project that entailed
taking a picture of two people holding hands and
sharing them in the social media such a Instagram or
Facebook. For every share, Central Embassy donated
ten baht to the Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn
Foundation.
Central Embassy’s Anniversary was a great event
that marked a wonderful milestone for a mall that is
going to continue to attract multitudes of events, art
and people’s attentions. If you haven’t been there yet,
you’re missing out.
