2015 Best Bangkok Shopping Malls

Most Popular Shopping Malls In Bangkok

Bangkok has more than enough shopping malls to suit all kinds of lifestyles and budgets. But these Top 9 Shopping Malls offer the best shopping experiences, in terms of diversity of products, accessible location in downtown areas and overall shopping satisfaction. Whether you are looking for the most upscale, the trendiest, the funkiest, or the most specialized, you will find them among these shopping malls below.


MOST BOOKED HOTELS


CentralWorld, Siam
 Open: 10:00-22:00, Nearest BTS: Chidlom


CentralWorld is a shopping plaza and complex in Bangkok, Thailand. It is the sixth largest shopping complex in the world. The complex, which includes a hotel and office tower, is owned by Central Pattana. In 2006, after three years of design and renovation, CentralWorld was expanded to 550,000 square metres of shopping mall and 1,024,000 square metres of complex, topping nearby rival Siam Paragon in terms of size.

Siam Paragon, Siam
 Open: 10:00 - 22:00, Nearest BTS: Siam


Siam Paragon is an immensely popular shopping mall housing a host of international high-end fashion brands, Southeast Asia’s largest aquarium, a 16-screen Cineplex, and a comprehensive selection of world cuisine. Located prominently in front of Siam BTS Skytrain station - the interchange of the two BTS lines - it is considered by many to be the centre of Bangkok.

Considering the mall contains over 250 shops, the layout is logical and fairly compact, certainly when compared to the sprawling Central World mall nearby. However, this mall provides mainly luxury items for well-heeled Thais and international visitors with cash to splurge. If you are looking for something extra-special then Siam Paragon is definitely the place to find it.

MBK, Siam
 Open: 10:00 - 22:00, Nearest BTS: National Stadium


MBK is probably Bangkok's most legendary shopping mall, popular with both tourists and locals, and busy with shoppers every day. There are eight floors packed with 2,000 shops that sell everything from clothing, fashion accessories, handbags, leather products and luggage to furniture, mobile phones, electric appliances, cameras, stationery and DVDs. Launched in 1986, MBK is a beehive of activity, especially on weekends, when half of Bangkok converges to shop for bargains. It's not as up-market or stylish as neighbouring Siam Discovery, Siam Centre and the glitzy Siam Paragon, but it offers a mind-boggling range of goods spread over 89,000 square metres and is considerably less expensive.

MBK is particularly easy to reach thanks to a direct walkway linking to National Stadium BTS Skytrain Station. Literally every taxi driver knows this most famous of shopping malls in Bangkok too, so you can hail a cab from anywhere but traffic can be intense.



Terminal 21, Sukhumvit 
 Open: 10:00-22:00, Nearest BTS: Asoke



Terminal 21 brings the dream of traveling the world to downtown Bangkok, with its cutting-edge concept that places several world-famous cities under one roof. Find yourself wandering around a maze of shops in Tokyo City, sauntering down London’s Carnaby Street, bagging a bargain in an Istanbul zouk, or shopping for something to fill your growling stomach at the Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco.

EmQuartier, Phrom Phong
 Open: 10:00-22:00, Nearest BTS: Phrom Phong


Like a glossy magazine come to life, EmQuatier houses a whopping 400 labels in total, spread out over 4,000 square metres of floor space. While it's true that shopping options at EmQuartier definitely lean towards luxury brands, head to the higher levels for more affordable high street brands and Thai designers. Add to this a host of fancy restaurants and direct access from Phrom Phong BTS Skytrain for the most convenient luxury shopping experience on Sukhumvit Road.

Central Embassy Shopping Mall
Open: 10:00-22:00, Nearest BTS: Ploenchit



Central Embassy is Bangkok’s first ever ultra-luxury lifestyle mall, boasting an impressive collection of high-end designer stores, fine-dining restaurants, swanky cinema screens, and an extravagant six-star hotel. Built on the grounds of the former British Embassy – hence the name – this 18 billion baht mega-mall projects the capital’s status even further as one of the world’s leading shopping destinations.

Siam Center, Siam
 Open: 10:00-21:00, Nearest BTS: Siam



Siam Center’s re-launch in January 2013 brought a different kind of shopping experience to Siam: over 200 international and Thai brands including the boutiques of some brilliant promising local designers as well as renowned Thai couturiers. On top of that, the slick renovations have taken their fresh ideology out of the stores and into the corridors, with a quirky mash-up of nature and technology.

Platinum Fashion Mall, Pratunam

A specialised mega mall for clothing and fashion accessories, Platinum takes the flea market concept indoors, in air-conditioned comfort. It is widely popular among office workers and university students looking for casual wear to the latest trends in women’s fashion. The best part is the wholesale price, if you buy in combinations, that is.
