Singapore's 'Little Thailand': Last Days Of Golden Mile Complex | On The Red Dot | Full Episode

Golden Mile Complex has been sold and all tenants and residents must move out by May 2023. An architectural marvel from the 70s, Golden Mile complex has become popularly known as "Little Thailand" due to its association with the Thai community.

The iconic landmark has been designated for conservation but some are worried that something more important than the building cannot be preserved. Losing Landmarks follows five people who have played significant roles in building the Thai enclave during their last moments there. In the 1980s and 1990s, they and other business owners populated Golden Mile with shops that offered all things Thai: food, fashion, entertainment, and groceries to cater to the growing Thai working community in Singapore. Its unique Thai-ness is what makes the Thai community and Singaporeans alike venture there. When Golden Mile complex closes, can the Thai diaspora find another space to revive Little Thailand?
