Shopping in Bangkok
Shopping Centres
MBK
Next to Siam Square, this shopping centre is great for cheap electronics,
gold shops and lots of "boutiques". It is where the teenage
population of Bangkok go shopping for clothes and accessories and is consequently
packed at the weekend.
Central World Plaza
Containing two departments stores, Zen and Isatan, this huge shopping
complex has a great selection of all types of shops, restaurant and even
an ice skating rink on the top floor.
Siam Square
Behind the old-fashioned Lido and Siam Multiplex movie theaters, there
is a large network of small and minuscule alleys with hundreds of clothes
shops and hair salons. The young and trendy hang out in this area!
Siam Center
Connected to the Skytrain Siam station, this is a popular shopping mal.
It is connected to the much newer Siam Discovery Centre on the 4th floor.
The Discovery has an excellent cinema including "gold class' seats,
where they will serve you a "gin and tonic" whilst you relax
and enjoy the film in a huge reclining seat.
Central Childlom
This is the "flag store" of Central Department Store, (see
BTS map). A bridge to the Chitlom Skytrain station makes for easy action.
Emporium
One of the top shopping centres with boutiques from top designer names,
stylish cafes and an excellent book store - also connected to the skytrain
station.
