-- 'ROBINSON'S. Dept. Store.', (i'sect. Rama IV.:Si Lom rds. - MRT.: Silom.), will be CLOSED permanently WEF. 23 may 08.. The owners of 'R'SON'S.' alleging that it's too small to warrant spending any MORE money on upgrades and suchlike.
- Presently there is an 'Everything must go!' sale in progress.
- Reportedly the store's area will be taken-over by 'TRUE FITNESS.'.
- It'll be interesting to see if 'TOPS.' s'mkt. and the associated facilites in the b'ment. will continue their svces. or otherwise?

Sad to hear about the closer of yet another Bangkok icon. What was especially noteworthy about that ROBE-inson's location, at least during the 1990s, was the presence of so many young hustlers on the corner in front of the store. Always a colorful tapestry of flesh peddling. It will be missed.

Don't worry...the corner will still be there.

-- Olde tymers can remember when that particular corner was o'looked. by 'Dairy Queen.', (Query - Dairy Quean.', Printer's devil.).
- It'll be interesting to see if MacD., Starbucks and Tops will continue trading there?
- I've found that visiting the b'ment. CR. can be quite iffy. With a certain amt. of circumspection the well known SILOM COMPLEX SHOPPING PLAZA - just further along Si lom rd. by Sala Daeng BTS., (S2.), - can be MORE rewarding at times; but, as with most such places, it should be treated as AYOR..

-- I see that FASHION OUTLET has taken-over the gd. and 1st. floors, (US. 1. & 2fls.), and is offering many items of branded clothing at seemingly bargain prices.
- McDONALDS, STARBUCKS and TOPS are in business still; but the b'ment. CR. doesn't seem to be as cruisy as previously.
