On Friday, October 24, 2025, Central Pattana (CPN) opened Central Krabi, ushering in the province’s first mixed-use development and the only mall in Thailand pursuing EDGE Zero certification to set a new standard for sustainable design. The landmark reinforces Krabi’s eco-conscious credentials while accelerating economic growth across southern Thailand.
Envisioned as the new “Center of Life” for the Andaman region, Central Krabi brings more than 300 top brands together in a space inspired by the area’s remarkable natural beauty and community spirit, connecting directly to the main transport and tourism hubs of Krabi.
Beyond retail, this upscale venture includes two premium residential projects, Baan Ninya Krabi and Phyll Krabi, aimed at driving the region’s vision to become the Smart City of the Andaman and highlighting CPN’s mission to craft greener, lifestyle-centric developments.
Defined by the concept “Made by Krabi: Experience the Joy from Everything about Krabi”, this flagship complex reinterprets the traditional mall format. Its architecture pays homage to Hua Tong boats, palm leaves, and local islands, embracing the gateway’s rich heritage.
As Thailand’s only shopping mall seeking EDGE Zero certification, Central Krabi sets forth a trailblazing model of environmental responsibility. Through extensive solar deployment, advanced energy-saving systems, and low-impact upcycling methods, the venue realizes near-zero energy dependence, delivering as much renewable power as it draws on daily.
Positioned to attract high-spending customers, the mall caters to affluent Thais, long-term expats, and discerning visitors. With over 25,000 expected guests per day, it functions as a magnet for premium experiences combining world-class shopping, culture, and leisure.
