BANGKOK TO GET IKEA STORE, AT LAST
Posted on 12 May 2009
The Bangkok Post reports today that Thailand will get its first IKEA store, with the opening scheduled for October 2011. The 40,000 sq. meter store will be built at Bang Na Trat Km 9 at what will be known as the Mega Bang Na Complex.
Posts about IKEA have been consistently popular on this blog, and in March I blogged that plans had been put on hold amid the global financial crisis. Obviously someone has found some money from somewhere.

His ideas have taken root in places as far apart as Burma, Thailand, Bosnia, Estonia, Iran, Indonesia, Zimbabwe, Venezuela and now in Syria, Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East as old orders crumble amidst the protests of their disgruntled citizens. This new film How to Start a Revolution reveals how Gene's ideas work in action. The film uses extended interviews with Gene himself, his assistant, his followers and leaders of revolutionary movements worldwide, as well as user-generated content from around the globe, to reveal the power of nonviolent revolution on the streets. The film, from first-time director Ruaridh Arrow, profiles Gene and his followers on three continents and has been filmed over the last ...
