As most listeners know, Bangkok may very well be the capital city of malls and mall culture, and each mall seems to have its own identity. The guys walk through Greg\u2019s somewhat salty slogans from ten years ago to see if they are still valid.  Here are some representative examples: MBK - \u201cNot even we know what stores lurk in our dark corners and forgotten depths.\u201d Ed chuckles at the appropriateness of the slogan, given that MBK seems chock full of unexpected side areas and forgotten hallways. EmQuartier - \u201cCome for the cool food hall and interesting stores. Stay because you can\u2019t find the exit.\u201d Once again, Ed concurs, having just been at the infamously architecturally complex mall. Central World - \u201cStop whining, the 5 km walk will do you good.\u201d With its renovations over the years, this mall has undoubtedly improved, but one fact can\u2019t be denied: it\u2019s freaking huge. So if you need some more steps to get to your 10k for the day, this is the mall to do it. Ed even chimes in with some of his own slogans for Bangkok\u2019s new malls, such as Icon Siam: \u201cA mall designed 100% for Asians: as long as you are a rich Chinese tourist.\u201d This time Greg nods his head in agreement. Listen in for our take on the bounty of unique malls through the city.  Don\u2019t forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.
