IKEA TO OPEN IN BANGKOK

Finally! Swedish retailer IKEA will be opening a store in Bangkok next year, according to a story on the front page of the business section of today's Bangkok Post.
I'm a big IKEA fan and it's one of the things I miss from the UK. My last IKEA experience was last December in Singapore and I really loved it. I understand the Bangkok store will be on the Bang na-Trad road although the story makes no mention of this.
I am pretty sure Thai people will love IKEA as much as those in other parts of the world although I wonder how well they'll cope with flat packs?

ADD: Since writing this post IKEA has clarified its position and will not be opening in Bangkok or Thailand in the near future. My subsequent follow-up post can be found here.
