Things to do in Bangkok, Thailand: The Best Shopping Malls

April 8, 2022 Layne Dawes

Golden palaces, floating markets, majestic porcelain-laid spires…you've never seen a capital city quite like Bangkok. Visit Pratunam or Siam Square for premium shopping, then unwind in the European-style gardens of Dusit. Thon Buri is home to the awesome Wat Arun temple, and over in Phra Nakhon, you’ll find the Wat Pho temple of the Reclining Buddha. Savor mango sticky rice at a food stall before taking in the gilded splendor of the Grand Palace.

We visited there twice last month to play at the famous Harborland indoor playground with our 2 boys, 8 and 11 years old. It is on 3rd floor near Major cineplex and has 3 zones, Harborland playground, Laser Battle laser tag arena and Rollerland skating rink. We played 4 hrs and it’s good because I could go to do some businesses at my bank and pay for nanny service to look for my boys. Lately it has Starbucks Coffee just opened so it’s very nice waiting for my kids here :)

The Mall Bangkapi

Reviewed By bob2bkk - Bangkok, Thailand

The Mall Bangkapi is far out of downtown Bangkok, so it will not be a tourist spot, unless you are a mall junkie. If you are, then make the trip (by taxi, and not on weekends) because it is a huge mall with hundreds of shops, restaurants and a big food court. It spans 5 floors and and all shops from your favorite mall shop to many smaller independent shops all at much cheaper prices than downtown Bangkok. All the USA restaurant chains are located there along with many Thai themed restaurants. It has a huge Gourmet Market and a large selection of prepared food kiosks. If driving, there is a garage attached. The mall is exceptionally clean and well organized, but getting lost is possible due to its size. It is a good meeting point for friends that live in that area who may not feel comfortable coming into downtown Bangkok. We met friends there and was happy to see the mall, but most malls have what they do.

Big and loaded with stores of nearly every leading chain store you find in the east. Nothing surrounding other then the food. You can find here Most of the street food next to high quality restaurants- that is only beaten by one other shopping mall we visited in Bangkok and that is Terminal 21 ( with the best food court we sow in all of Asia - in a single modern shopping mall that is) A tip: Westerners and Asians can find here good stuff to eat at reasonable prices. Duty free service can save you time at the airport but don’t forget your passport. The surrounding of the shopping mall is just as interesting as the inside. Walk on on the bridges to see the tunnel, See the gourmet bakery... and the 6th floor with the vast verity of food options

Platinum Fashion Mall is one of Bangkok's iconic and "must visit" malls !! It offers a few levels of ladies, mens and childrens clothing , along with a huge range of fashion accessories, imitation jewellery, shoes , toys , stationary , souvenirs and a huge food court . Great to be here as early as possible to beat the crowds and some shop owners are more willing to bargain or offer little discounts, especially if you are polite and smile !! So do not forget to use your charm and bargaining skills !!
