The sleek mall offers a diverse mix of stores, which include high-end branded finds and local artisanal boutiques. EmQuartier is also home to an excellent selection of gourmet dining options, from international cuisine to Michelin-rated local eateries.

Siam Paragon 

Arguably one of the largest, and most recognisable malls in Bangkok, Siam Paragon offers a blend of shopping and entertainment. The glamourous multiplex has over 300 stores, dining options, and entertainment venues, including an aquarium. Siam Paragon’s location makes it conveniently accessible from most city hotels, such as properties from Chatrium Hotels and Residences.

Chatuchak Weekend Market

For a more eclectic experience that goes beyond the luxury, the Chatuchak Weekend Market is a must-visit, as one of the largest markets in the world. With over 15,000 stalls, the market is stocked with a delightful collection of everything; from clothing and accessories to handicrafts and exotic plants. Be sure to check the opening times before your visit, as the market is only open late on Fridays.

Yaorowat Old Market

Bangkok’s rich cultural history is alive and well at Yaowarat Old Market, a go-to shopping destination in Chinatown. This bustling market is a cornerstone of the Sino-Thai heritage, specialising in traditional goods, herbs, and delectable street food.
