Bangkok - All About Shopping

For those who wish to have their retail therapy (i.e. shopping) sessions in Bangkok, besides Chatuchak and night markets, there are a few shopping malls for you to choose from.
.
Although I don't really shop when I travel (as I prefer sightseeing), somehow I still manage to slot in some sessions in between to pay a visit to a few of the shopping malls in Bangkok ... more for some quick window shopping :p

.

Centralworld

Currently the largest shopping mall in Southeast Asia, you can find the finest fashion stores, global brands, specialty stores and all kinds of luxury designer lifestyle goods here.

Equivalent standard to KLCC and Pavilion KL.

Getting there :

If you are travelling on Sukhumvit Line, alight at either the Chit Lom or Siam BTS Station.
If you are travelling on Silom Line, alight at Siam BTS Station.

Equivalent standard to KLCC and Pavilion KL.

Platinum Fashion Mall

.

Caters especially to wholesale clothing, this mall has six floors which are filled with small outlets - most of them specialising in women's clothing and fashion accessories.

.

Since this is a wholesale mall, you can get items at very reasonable prices - provided you buy larger quantities, usually three items and up. Some outlets allow mix and match.

.

No fitting rooms are available for you to try the clothes though.

.

Equivalent standard to Sungei Wang (although Sungei Wang not really of wholesale in nature, the crowd is that of Sungei Wang)

.

Getting there :

It's actually located near Centralworld. Walk pass Centralworld, cross the canal, turn left and walk a few metres up. Platinum Fashion Mall is on your left.
