I'm going back to Thailand at the end of the year :) and wondering what shopping centres I should visit.

I'm looking for malls which are good in terms of clothing, electrical products, entertainment, food, and just for the experience.

So which shopping centres are the best in Bangkok (top 5)? There's no wrong answer, I just want local perspectives of the shoppings there.

Ohh, im not such a tourist, speak Thai and all, and went there many times before when I was young and forgot the place. (And I doubt nothing's changed!)

thanks :)

Posh Style - Gaysorn ,erawan,The emporium,Siam paragon,Central chidlom
Kiddo - Siam square ,Siam center ,Siam discovery ,Centralworld
Hip style - J avenue,Playground,H1,thonglor and ekkamai area
IT stuffs - pantip,MBK
Flea market - JJ weekend market

Siam Paragon's soft soft opening is scheduled for December 1 this year (they want to catch the high tourist season)....but I think the real opening (when shops, movies, gym, aquarium, opera house, etc. start full blast) will gradually bloom and be completed totally by next Chinese or Thai New Year (Feb/Mar/Apr 2006)?

well, just go to the Siam Square and Ratchaprasong area. I am sure you'll find everything you need in those two areas.
MBK-electronic products
Siam Center, Siam Discovery...clothes, fashion trendy style
Gaysorn, Erawan-for luxury items.

ncik, are you from Britain, Canada or Australia?

The way you spell the word "shopping centre" suggests that you are not American?

Hi ThaiRak :wave: :hi: welcome to the forum :)

Siam Paragon is located at the "Siam" skytrain station and is situated between the Siam Center shopping mall and Wat (Temple) Patum on Rama I Road.....Siam Paragon is located on the old "Siam Intercontinental Hotel" grounds....
