17 SEPTEMBER 2018 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A cobbler repairs shoes in his stall in the Klong San market, next to the ICONSIAM development. ICONSIAM is a mixed-use development on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River. It is expected to open in 2018 and will include two large malls, with more than 520,000 square meters of retail space, an amusement park, two residential towers and a riverside park. It is the first large scale high end development on the Thonburi side of the river and will feature the first Apple Store in Thailand and the first Takashimaya department store in Thailand. Rents for shopkeepers in Klong San market can be up to 30,000 Thai Baht per month (about $920US) and some in Bangkok are concerned that Klong San Market will lose its local character when the huge mall opens.
