Skywalk linking road outside CentralWorld to Platinum mall has opened (PHOTOS)

The new skywalk, built over the crowded sidewalk of Ratchadamri Road outside CentralWorld shopping mall, opened yesterday to facilitate pedestrians who just want to walk — not shop for sunglasses or buy fried chicken on the street.

The new skywalk, called “Bangkok Skyline,” starts on Ratchadamri Road and stretches all the way to Novotel Bangkok Hotel and Platinum Shopping Mall. The skywalk was built because the roadside down below is currently overflowing with street vendors, causing heavy pedestrian congestion every night.

The congestion only gets worse once you have to squeeze through the tiny bridge above Saen Saeb canal, which is also occupied by hawkers and beggars.

The new skywalk also is directly linked with the second floor of Platinum — a famous stop for those who love affordable clothes.
