The Crystal, the community mall near the Ramintra expressway, has just opened a new mall “Crystal Veranda” right behind it on Friday, because why not?
Following the opening of the first mall which consists mostly of restaurants, the new Crystal Veranda sets to serve suburban customers with high purchasing power. It features a SF cinema, Fitness First (with the best view, they said) and its own children’s playground, along with a flagship Lego store.
Taking over 25,000 sq m of space, the THB6 billion mall was built under the concept of “Five Facets of Crystal”: fun, food, fitness, fashion, and the “Full of Fascination” — which means a luxurious lobby lounge and Italian marble bathrooms.
For food, there are the familiar franchise restaurants missing from the old mall including Dean & Deluca, Peppina, Coffee Bean by Dao, Water Library, Wine Connection, and another Starbucks.
There may be a little something special for fashion lovers at the Crystal Boutique Store, supposedly the first ever store in Thailand to incorporate clothing and accessories from both Thai and international designers in one place including Michael Kors, ARAMIS, DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger and Tory Burch.
As expected, the mall was already crowded when it opened on Saturday. Obviously, it drew some customers from Central Eastville, the new mall that opened in November and is located only five kilometers away.
