Bangkok: Central Pattana Public Company Limited is making a significant investment of over 1.7 billion baht to renovate its Central Pinklao shopping mall.

According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Nattakit Tangpolsinthana, Chief Marketing Officer of Central Pattana Public Company Limited, explained that the renovation project is designed to redefine Central Pinklao from a mere shopping mall to a district leader.
