Central Festival is Open

Quoting their brochure: "The Largest Beachfront Lifestyle Shopping Complex in Asia".
Over 111 metre wide frontage, 6 floors, car parking for 2,000 vehicles and 200 local and international stores; 7 banks, 10 cinemas and a 16-lane bowling alley. It is located between Sois 9 and 10 and runs the length of the soi from Beach Road to 2nd Road. Apart from the range of food available in 50+ outlets it strikes me as the ideal place for the fitness minded to go walking in an air-conditioned atmosphere!

While trekking around a shopping mall is not every one's idea of a couple of hours well spent (this is my attitude) I must admit that I was impressed with the place and will go back for another visit to see parts of it I had to leave out on my first visit. Additionally, as a cinema goer I will definitely pop around there fairly often.

In my opinion definitely worth a visit.
