What to do and see in Chatuchak, Thailand: The Best Shopping Malls

May 19, 2021 Terina Blouin

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.

Food Food and more food on every level plus heaps of great shops. The classic clothing section in the basement level is great and as you go up it gets better. Not much of the big stores, mainly local businesses. You can walk across from the top floor to Central Plaza and the BTS station

This is a very nice mall, very efficiently run and cool air-conditioning. You can find everything that you need under the roof, good crowd and lots of good sales too. There are plenty of good F&B outlets here too. They have a very nice cinema on the top floor of the building (6th floor) and a very complete supermarket (Tops) at the basement of this shopping mall. Highly recommended.

JJ Mall is adjacent to Chatuchak Market, and is an excellent shopping mall for arts & crafts, housewares, with an entire section devoted to Tiffany lamps, , a store with only coffee machines from simple stove top espresso makers to expensive espresso machines. This mall seems to have anything and everything and is surprising in what it offers. There was even a store with motorcycle in it , selling clothing and accessories. There was a Swensons ice cream parlour lower level that is packed all the time. I loved that there are no North American chain store vendors at this mall, only unique local vendors. The food court on 2nd level, is renown for having great food. I stopped here for an early dinner of black pepper pork steak with fries and coleslaw for 60B or about $2 Cad. Outside the mall, on one end are tented street food vendors which line the sidewalks with very appetizing foods being grilled, baked, fried, cooked. Many tourists visit JJ Mall after walking Chatuchak Market when they are totally spent for energy and want to cool off in the air conditioned mall. My suggestion is to come back to this mall just to browse it for itself and do some shopping. It is a mall with fascinating and unique vendors. In particular, I love the kitchenware stores myself. Transportation here is no problem. Skytrain, MRT, buses all come here.

I visited Chatuchak Weekend Market and found this mall by coincidence. Well, at least I didn't know that it existed. Out of curiosity I stepped in and walked through all 3 levels. There are many small local shop with nice products at good prices. I saw several products that were sold at the exact same price than on Chatuchak Market, but there were a lot of other items as well you don't find in the tourist malls. The food court is huge, very clean and with lots of choice. Everything is fresh thanks to the high food turnover per stall as the locals enjoyed ordering loads of food. I tried several dishes myself and was really pleased with freshness and tase. On 2nd floor I found Jasmine Massage and had the most amazing 1h foot massage in a very long time. Very well-trained staff and a nice and friendly atmosphere.

Sobazaar is a market that offers the relaxing environment with a very local Thai beer and food trucks. After a very long shopping hours at Jatujak market, here is the best place for you to come and relax. With a decoration under Thai garden theme, you will find it very clam and chill here for the ending of your long shopping day at Jatujak.
