After a whopping investment of over 1 billion THB for a remarkable renovation, Paradise Park, the MBK Group-owned shopping haven in eastern Bangkok, has unveiled its stunning transformation. Introducing a vibrant new strategy and concept, “LIVING in HARMONY,” this retail paradise has focused its efforts on promoting mindful living, healthy eating, and overall well-being. Partnering with premier health organizations, Paradise Park is set to become a holistic health and wellness landmark, all while adding exciting new stores and monthly activities to keep visitors engaged. It’s a hub where joy and lifestyle needs blend seamlessly.
The grand Paradise Park Good Life Celebration kicked off with a star-studded event graced by noteworthy figures like Mr. Torsak Chotimongkol, Chairman of Adviser to the Governor of Bangkok; Mr. Wichak Praditavanij, CEO & President of MBK Public Company Limited; and Mr. Somphol Tripopnart, Chief Shopping Centre Business Officer of MBK Public Company Limited. The grand opening ceremony saw attendance from government partners, business associates, store operators, and beloved celebrities and artists such as ‘Jeab Pijittra,’ ‘Boy Peacemaker,’ and ‘Dr. Jeab Lalana.’ The turnout was nothing short of spectacular, taking place at the Royal Park Plaza, 1st Floor.
Mr. Wichak Praditavanij emphasized the significance of this grand renovation, marking the first major update in 13 years for Paradise Park. With over 260,000 square meters revamped, the “Natural” design concept aims to infuse the shopping center with greenery and tranquility, aligning perfectly with its location near Suan Luang Rama IX Park, the “lungs” of eastern Bangkok. Over 1 billion THB was invested to transform this space into a haven where the aesthetics of nature and the convenience of city living coexist.
The concept “LIVING in HARMONY” integrates health services to establish Paradise Park as a holistic Health and Wellness landmark. The strategy encompasses promotion, prevention, care, treatment, and rehabilitation, aiming to cater to the health-conscious modern Thai society. Collaborations with health service providers such as Ramathibodi Hospital have given rise to the Ramathibodi Health Space @ Paradise Park, ensuring that residents of Srinakarin and nearby areas have comprehensive health services at their fingertips.
Some specialized health services offered include Pichayanin Mental Health Clinic, Dear Hearing S’RENE by SLC, anti-ageing urban clinics, and an upcoming dialysis center. Additionally, Paradise Park hosts health and beauty clinics, a premium herbal market offering recognized national herbal products, and stores specializing in elderly care, medical equipment, and health-related products.

Wow, over 1 billion THB for a shopping mall renovation! Is it just me or is that a crazy amount of money?
Amy, considering how important shopping malls are in Thai culture, that money is totally justified. This is a place for community and socializing, not just shopping.
ThaiFanatic, I understand cultural value, but does that warrant spending billions? What about focusing more on education or healthcare?
Amy, to be fair, they are investing in healthcare services as part of the renovation. It’s more than just a shopping mall now.
If they really cared about health and wellness, they would have invested in more green spaces and less commercialism.
ecoActivist101, good point! It feels a bit contradictory to promote health through consumerism.
Guys, sometimes you need to use commercial platforms to promote positive changes. It’s about balance.
The new health services are a huge plus for the community. Finally, mental health services in a convenient location!
Agreed! Mental health is still such a stigma in Thailand, having clinics in a public space can normalize it.
It’s great, but will the services be affordable for the average person?
Lucy B., exactly! The more visible these services are, the better.
The dining options sound amazing! Can’t wait to try HITORI and Lucky Suki.
True, but are these new dining options really worth the price increase?
Sophie L., I’ve been to HITORI, and trust me, it’s worth every baht!
I’m interested in the tech zone. Hopefully, it’ll be better stocked than other places.
I heard they’re going to have exclusive gadgets. So exciting!
Can’t wait to see what they have. In Bangkok, good tech stores are hard to come by.
The whole idea of ‘LIVING in HARMONY’ feels very market-driven. How genuine is this?
Bringing in healthcare organizations like Ramathibodi Hospital is a game-changer. It’s about time malls started thinking beyond consumerism.
Nina, absolutely. Accessible healthcare in a community hub is a step in the right direction.
Dr. Arun, and it makes health services more approachable for everyone.
Greenery and tranquility in a shopping mall? Sounds like a PR stunt. Let’s see how long it lasts.
Patrick, you might be right, but even a little green can make a difference in such a crowded city.
The events lineup looks fantastic! I can’t wait for the comedy night with ‘3 Na.’
Pleng Ake and the Suntaraporn Orchestra performing? That’s a reason enough for me to visit!
Jewelry zones seem like a waste of space. How many people are really buying gold these days?
Roberta Y., you’d be surprised. It’s still a big part of Thai culture, especially for weddings and investment.
It’s interesting that they’re focusing on senior citizens. It’s refreshing to see a place care about all age groups.
Mike, if more places did this, our society would be much more inclusive for seniors.
My grandma will love the new facilities. She’s always wanted more places to relax and socialize.
500 stores? My wallet is already crying!
More than the stores, I’m excited about the new educational services. It’s a one-stop place for everything!
As a parent, the tutoring centers are a lifesaver. No more long drives across the city.
Oliver, it’s like they’ve thought of everything. Truly a diverse experience.
Are they planning any eco-friendly initiatives to go with their ‘Natural’ design concept?
ecoConscious, great question! All this talk about ‘Natural’ but no word on sustainability.
Every time there’s a new development, we hear big promises. Let’s see if this one lives up to the hype.
The linkage with the Yellow Line MRT is a game-changer. No more traffic jams to get there.
