The new Venezia Shopping complex

[usual suspect]

Sateeb..it's my birthday soon, & the wife say's she's gonna buy me a football shirt..& on the back will be a big No.1...with GRUMPY written above it..!! ha-ha! When it comes to moaning about stuff I love it.
I DID hint in my post that our family & I DO like the Sam Pran F/market, so I can be upbeat sometimes ..but last time I was there that damn train nearly ran me over!!! ( )

Careful US. If you get too grumpy or too picky or too sarcastic or too critical you will be muscled off the forum and labelled as a sh1t stirrer

Never been (and unlikely to) so cannot comment

Went there today with a relative who lives locally who didnt know about the entrance fee. There are many ways of getting the fee back by buying or using things, but nothing of great interest for the western visitor but i dont think we are the intended target.

ok the best shopping complex..

Venezia has a fan!!!!!?????

I went with my mate who is 61 and my babe. If you are over 60 you don't pay the fee. I am 58 but the girl let me in for free and only person who paid the fee was, ironically, my Thai girlfriend

An unscrupulous developer could: 1) Write leases requiring tenants to pay for the full term of the lease but allow the owner to release the space if the business has been closed for specified lenght of time, 2) Open, but discourage customers, 3) Recruit new tenants, claiming to have learned from his mistakes, and 4) Profit from the double dip.

^ But, surely there are no unscrupulous developers in Hua Hin...

Wouldn't be allowed. The trading standards authorities wouldn't stand for it.*

Just in case anyone is bursting with curiosity about the Venezia but doesn't want to pay to go in, it's free entry during September. We went earlier this afternoon and it was absolutely packed out - NOT!

We parked in the Villa Market parking area and I noticed signs like the one in the picture. Anyone know what it means (apart from that some people can't spell)?

I would think it means park there if you're going to Villa, and some other spot(s) if you're not?

[Bristolian]

I agree but it's still a strange sign (ignoring the wording and spelling). The parking places in that area are indeed for Villa customers but initially, lots of the people vans were parking there because it's a shorter distance to that entrance. Therefore why have it in English??? There must be some logic somewhere but it escapes me!

Don't expect from thais to use correct english. They translate word by word from thai language and the result is nonsens.

I like this sign - I think the use of English is okay and shows humour. Better than most by far. 8/10...

I think Europtimiste( AKA ThaiPessimist) must have used Google translate from his mother tongue

I think the irony of his post will be lost on him.

I think it has a certain Zen beauty. Not often you see a deep thought on a parking sign.
