1. THE THIRD PIG

Project Overview The Third Pig is a rustic bar and restaurant themed after the Three Little Pigs fairy tale. The interior is intended to resemble the third pig's house of bricks. Passing inside the glass facade with its big wooden door, the visitor will find himself seemingly transported to somewhere in the countryside. On top of lots of exposed red brick, there are hanging light bulbs and flowers, and even a fireplace complete with a chimney in one corner.

A fairytale ambiance was recreated by creating a fireplace with brick walls; peeling off some of the cement wall to increase the raw, using galvanized buckets and twigs for lamps, and using wooden kitchenware as decoration. A bouquet of dried flowers and old books add a touch of home with warmth and comfort.

Project Overview New lifestyle community mall Buriram Castle in Buriram Province was developed by Newin Chidchob, the owner of Buriram United Football Club, who has also created and established a number of other landmarks in the area. The design of the mall is modeled after Khmer village settlements which thrived around the stone castle in a bygone era.

The aim is to develop Buriram into a tourist center of Khmer arts and culture. Visitors will be able to shop for souvenirs developed by the Buriram brand located right at the entrance. Expected tourist numbers are around 2.5 million visitors per year.

The mall offers dining with well-known restaurants, a food court, souvenir shops, Buriram Mega Store as well as a spa and beauty zone.

The creation of “Thunder Castle" was achieved as a reconstruction of a Khmer Hindu temple complex, which were originally built by artisans who hand carved blocks of stone with a delicate and meticulous arrangement of every piece. It was also perfectly calculated so that the sunset shines through the door exactly as at the Phanom Rung Castle.
