History
editOriginally, it was Robinson Lat Ya, which was renovated from Central Lat Ya in 1997. During its time as Central Lat Ya, it was considered a leading department store in the Wongwian Yai area and had been in operation since 1981. As time passed over the decades, the Central Group later redeveloped it into "Platform" in a more modern concept to better meet the needs of contemporary consumers. The project had a budget of 250 million baht and spans an area of 27,820 square meters (300,000 sq ft), housing more than 100 retail outlets, including Dairy Queen, Tops Market, B2S, Fit by Supersports, Mr. DIY, Starbucks, Bar B Q Plaza, Pranakorn Boat Noodle, Café Amazon, Watsons, Beauty Buffet, and others. Its name refers to a railway platform, a meeting point and transportation hub for people in the Thonburi area. The logo is designed in the shape of Wongwian Yai, symbolizing a center of lifestyle for the Thonburi community.[2][3][4]
Facilities
editThe mall consists of seven floors.
The basement level (B) features a food court and beverage outlets. The first floor houses Tops Market, along with cafés and restaurants. The second floor is a shopping zone, while the third floor is dedicated to dining. The fourth floor (vacant since May 1, 2024). The fifth and sixth floors are home to tutorial schools and music institutes, and the seventh floor (use the stairs only) houses a fitness center.[4]
