Overview

Central Plaza Udon Thani -- also known locally as Central Udon -- is the city's largest and most established shopping mall, on Prajaksilapakom Road in the Mueang district. The site began life in 1994 as the Charoensri Complex, developed by Udon Charoensri (1968) Ltd, before Central Pattana (CPN) acquired it on 8 April 2009 and rebranded and expanded it into today's Central Plaza. The mall spans six levels from the ground floor up to the fifth, and hosts more than a hundred shops and restaurants under one air-conditioned roof, functioning as the default one-stop errand run for residents across Udon Thani.
