Big upscale malls prohibit picture taking

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

Metro Manila, PHL   May 23, 2013

I was a in a major mall at a CBD and I was happily taking pictures of the new wing and development so that readers may get to know them and the mall get a free publicity.  I was accosted by a guard and prohibited to take pictures;  I promptly deleted the pics.  This is the second mall where management security are  paranoid and lack confidence.

I lost interest in promoting or mentioning such developments;  anyway they get big PR and ad budgets.  So much for endorsing their stores and products and benefits via this site.

But visitors be forewarned that they now have such unpublished rules and woe unto you who take pictures.  And maybe visit malls that are less paranoid and friendly

This is my second offense/incidence.  I should know my lesson.  So much for sharing and blogging big establishments for free

Other Bangkok Malls: Shibuya 19 and Siam Paragon

An Ateneo Graduate School of Business Advantage

Shibuya 19

It was finished and inagurated two weeks ago,.  It most modern and probably had Japnaese  investors.  However, it well filled up because stalls are smalls and within the budget of most small retailers and merchants in Thailand.  Malls may be big and modern, but the business model is for the small entrepreneurs.

There are many large and interesting malls and shopping centers at Bangkok.  Surprisingly there are many small stalls about 4 x3 meters. with wide assortment of goods, probably paying little rent and unlike SM and Robinson that gets big share of sales of tenants.  They are most modern too and employ latest in building design and architecture.
