MBK Center

This 30 year old megamall was a 15 minute walk from Jim Thompson House and Nancy was looking for a couple of things so we went there. It has 2,000 stores selling everything you could possibly want. MBK is not a "high class" mall like Siam Center and stores here are on average less pricey than other Bangkok malls and each floor is dedicated to a particular item or range of goods, like the floor where all the stores sell shoes and the fourth floor which focuses on electrical gadgets plus an area called shopping street which has a maze of booths like a street market. On the top floor there is an entertainment section with cinemas, karaoke, a games arcade, bowling alley and restaurants.

MBK is connected by elevated walkways to the high end Siam Discovery and Siam Paragon shopping centers.

We felt the place had too much choice so decided to move on after having an iced americano and a latte.Read more
