Phuket Square plans Bangkok mall

PHUKET: Phuket Square, managers of Jungceylon in Phuket, will launch a 300-million-baht “lifestyle community mall” on Sukhumvit Soi 20 in Bangkok during the first quarter of next year.

The venture follows the company’s success with the Patong-based Jungceylon, it’s first and only other mall project.

But the tail is not wagging the dog. Phuket Square has been headquartered in Bangkok since its establishment in 2004. Jungceylon opened in 2006.

“Mille Malle will cater to local residents and expatriates staying within 5 kilometres of the new shopping venue, which is surrounded by more than 30 commercial complexes – luxury condominiums, office buildings and five-star hotels,” says Pravot Janyasithikul, CEO of Phuket Square.
