Largest MINI Showroom to open in Thailand

Sections: In the Press May 22nd, 2007 15 Comments

Thailand has become home to the largest Mini showroom in the world with the opening of Mini Square on Soi Ekamai.

The six-storey facility cost Bt150 million and has a total area of 6,000 square metres according to Sanhavuth Thammachuanviriya, managing director of the Millennium Auto Group.

The new car showroom and an Internet cafe are located on the first floor, while the Mini “Next” used-car showroom is on the second floor. Floors three and four are for servicing and parts inventory, with eight service bays that can be expanded to 16 in the future. Parking is on the fifth floor. An Italian restaurant called “Fuzio Stylish Restaurant and Bar” sits on the sixth floor and features a panoramic view of the city.

Sounds like a possible new vacation destination to me!

I drove pass by this dealer in Bangkok, it looks nice from the outside. But I got to said that the MINI in THAILAND is selling @ 30,000+ for cooper, and $50,000+ for A Cooper S. You know the VAT,TAX and other BS. Stuff. So they may have the largest dealeship in the world. It doesn’t mean they have the largest inventory.

To be exact, R56 w/o moonroof is 2,800,000 baht => USD80,000. Add sunroof the the list you have to pay 3,000,000 baht => USD85,000!!!

I’d be willing to offer up my two car garage for MINIUSA to use if they would come to Alabama. :/

Singapore isn’t bad either:

Aww, look, that Singapore dealership has a MINIbar. :)

while the price of a MINI there is outrageous, keep in mind all imported cars there cost over twice as much as they do in the US. Same thing in Korea too.

If it always looked like that at my local MINI dealer I don’t think I’d ever leave!

Thanks for the link of MINI of Singapore. Thie building & interior looks very nice.

Thanks also for the link to Thailand.

I thought MINI is “only” much loved in Japan and Hongkong!

Wonder if they provide extra polishing and hand detailing.

According to the article there are only 1200 MINI customers in the whole of Thailand. I assume that means only 1200 MINIs have been sold there. Not sure how such paltry numbers justify building the world’s largest dealership there.

Will You be selling older Style Classic Mini Cooper ?

Or Second Hand Mini Cooper / Example 1968 etc
