Summing Up: Giving Bangkok's Ubiquitous Malls Some Slogans [S8.E17]

This week Greg and Ed have a bit of fun revisiting an old blog
post from Greg about what would be the best slogans for various
malls around Bangkok. As most listeners know, Bangkok may very
well be the capital city of malls and mall culture, and each mall
seems to have its own identity. The guys walk through Greg's
somewhat salty slogans from ten years ago to see if they are
still valid. 


Here are some representative examples: MBK - "Not even we know
what stores lurk in our dark corners and forgotten depths." Ed
chuckles at the appropriateness of the slogan, given that MBK
seems chock full of unexpected side areas and forgotten hallways.
EmQuartier - "Come for the cool food hall and interesting stores.
Stay because you can't find the exit." Once again, Ed concurs,
having just been at the infamously architecturally complex mall.
Central World - "Stop whining, the 5 km walk will do you good."
With its renovations over the years, this mall has undoubtedly
improved, but one fact can't be denied: it's freaking huge. So if
you need some more steps to get to your 10k for the day, this is
the mall to do it.


Ed even chimes in with some of his own slogans for Bangkok's new
malls, such as Icon Siam: "A mall designed 100% for Asians: as
long as you are a rich Chinese tourist." This time Greg nods his
head in agreement. Listen in for our take on the bounty of unique
malls through the city.
