The Mall Nakhon Ratchasima, opened in 2000, is the biggest shopping center in the North-eastern region of Thailand, located direrctly on Mitraphap Road in Nakhon Ratchasima (colloquially known as Korat), Thailand. Sub-titled the 'Paragon of Isan' and 'Pride of Korat' by pro-Mall interests. While initial concern about significant impact to the city's main traffic artery by construction at this location was voiced to The Mall management, the concern was not addressed and construction was implemented. As a result, there are significant traffic congestion and pollution issues directly associated with the decision to proceed. Billions of Thai Baht are also being considered to accommodate the problem through construction of a tunnel and other measures.

Famous quotes containing the word mall:
“Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
