The Thai capital is a shopaholic’s paradise: the total number and total area of its malls are roughly equal to anything in the rest of the country, including the island municipalities.
Siam Paragon
The Siam Paragon Shopping Center is breaking all records of ratings compiled by visitor surveys of travel resources on the web. And its main “lure” is not even the salons and boutiques, but the Siam Ocean World, which most of the visiting tourists tend to visit. Children there are just squeaking with delight. If you want to buy something there, then be prepared to pay a lot of money. This store is one of the most prestigious and expensive. On one of its floors is located pompous car showroom, where the offer is a self-propelled premium strollers. And, of course, at every corner there are signs with global brands – Prada, Hermes, Gucci and others. With a bit of luck, you can also catch a sale.

Central World Plaza
.
Bangkok’s largest mall, quite capable of competing with Siam Paragon. It’s really enormous: eight floors housing about five hundred smaller stores in addition to Zen (left wing) and Setan department stores. On the seventh floor there is a six-screen movie theater and Duty Free store, and on the eighth floor there is probably the largest ice rink in Asia. A break from shopping can be found on the sixth floor, where there are several restaurants.

Terminal 21
.
If you want to combine shopping in Bangkok with getting an aesthetic treat, you have to visit this shopping plaza. Each of its floors is stylized as one of the world’s metropolises. For example, if you get off at the BTS Asok station, you will immediately get into the Italian capital, you will be surrounded by antique statues and fountains. Something similar you’ll see on the floors decorated as San Francisco, Paris, London, Tokyo.
The store is quite democratic, if you don’t want famous brands, you can pay attention to things by local designers, which are full of Thai color. There are souvenir shops, and for a break in between shopping, go to the cinema, where there is a food court.

Emporium
Not the biggest mall in Bangkok, but probably the coziest. Only four floors and no pandemonium. Among the stores on the first three floors are signs of global brands – Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior. The fourth floor is allotted to the food court. Another plus for the convenience of this shop is that it can be accessed directly from Phrom Phong BTS station.
5
Bangkok Fashion Outlet
This runoff outlet will be to the taste of those who want to buy at a significant (you can guess with a visit so that it will be 90%) discount of brand clothing or shoes and not really bother with the fact that they are from last year’s collections. The area of the outlet is not large – only three floors, of which the first floor is completely devoted to the jewelry department. We can’t guarantee absolute authenticity, but there is a range of sizes: for petite and XXL. Bangkok Fashion Outlet is part of the Jewelry Trade Center.

Emquartier
Bangkok’s best mall if you want to not only shop, but also relax. There’s a garden on the floor where the food court and many small cafes are located, and there’s a wonderful view of the city. The ground-floor grocery store makes it easy to combine shopping for brand-name clothing with stocking up on groceries.
7
MBK
The MBK Shopping Center in Bangkok is just across the street from Siam Paragon and looks like nothing more than a market, a kind of Thai “Cherkizon”. It consists of countless stores and stalls. They sell absolutely everything from shoes to smartphones. However, you will not find a single original item here. All comes “from the Little Arnautskoy”, what sellers quite honestly inform the customers. But cheaper than there you won’t be able to buy anything.
8
Gateway Ekkamai
When you are near Ekkamai, the eastern bus station and you are wondering what to buy in Bangkok on your way to Pattaya, check out this mall. While waiting for the bus. Pretty standard set of goods: clothes, shoes, watches, electronics. The food court with a predominantly Japanese menu adds to its attractiveness. If you don’t have time to eat or want to take something with you on the road, you can take it out.
9
Big C Supercenter
The chain hypermarkets, which have appliance, clothing, grocery, and food court departments. They are attractive because the prices are lower than in specialized grocery supermarkets, and the quality of food is much higher than in street macashops. Buying in this network is also advantageous because there are often promotions, discounts and bonuses. For those who are staying in Bangkok for a long time and prefer to cook at home, the Big C hypermarkets are a godsend.
10
Tesco Lotus 
Another chain of hypermarkets, somewhat reminiscent of our Auchan. In Bangkok there are more than two dozen of them. The range is enormous. Groceries, household appliances and chemicals, all sorts of little things like needles, combs, diapers and dishwashing sponges. There are sporting goods, you can even buy a bicycle. This is where you can buy blue plastic containers on wheels, which are convenient to transport fruit in if you decide to bring home something exotic. The prices are very reasonable, in these stores prefer to buy themselves Thai, which can be considered the best recommendation. The buildings are usually two-story, on the second tier there is a food court, where delicious and cheap food is available. Only one such store is marked on the map below.
