Dragon City, the largest wholesale and retail trading centre in Bahrain, says it has signed a corporate agreement with Vega Intertrade and Exhibitions, a major exhibition and event organiser in the region, to lease and operate ThaiMart, a Thai-themed retail development in the master-planned project.

Set in the southwest corner of Diyar Al Muharraq on a 6,000-sq-m area next to Dragon City, ThaiMart is a first-of-its-kind shopping centre which will offer both local consumers and tourists products that are exclusively imported directly from Thailand. The project design is infused with Thai architectural and cultural aspects, in a layout which will incorporate approximately 150 individual retail store spaces, with a spacious car parking lot for customers’ vehicles.

With the soft opening of the Mart expected to take place in the first half of 2019, ThaiMart is set to revolutionise the oriental goods industry in the Kingdom of Bahrain with the vast array of retail opportunities it will provide, says Dr Maher Al Shaer, the managing director of Dragon City.

ThaiMart will offer a variety of Thai products such as food items, beauty products, garments, perfumes, handcrafts, home decorations and leather goods.
