Bangkok and the city’s association with shopping is one that needs no introduction. Those craving a shopping experience that unleashes the shopaholic in themselves, Sukhumvit Road will not leave you disappointed. It's where the bustling street awaits you, lined with scores of lively marketplaces.
The curvilinear glass and steel facade of Terminal 21 has almost everyone meandering the vibrant Sukhumvit Road walk into the gigantic shopping mall. A whopping 600 stores spanning 9 floors - you can bet the inside is as exciting as the extravagant facade. Shopping at Terminal 21 means you are treated to a virtual international shopping experience as the mall has a unique theme going, where shoppers are welcomed to a meticulously themed shopping scene based on international classics, or rather, specialities. Splurge on world-renowned fashion labels Paris, London and Tokyo have to offer you, browse through the eclectic boutiques of the Middle East, let your taste buds savour some of the finest Caribbean delicacies, and up on the 6th floor, the 8-screen cineplex affords the ultimate Hollywood experience.
Those who have splurging written high on your Bangkok holiday programme can head to swanky K village, where opulence and extravagance have been written all over the place. The ultra-modern open air mall features over 100 shopping and entertainment options, spread across 5 zones — Fashion & Accessories, Café & Restaurants, Health & Beauty, Lifestyle & Technology and Gourmet Market — out of which, dining is the highlight of the mall, which is quite obvious on any fine Saturday afternoon.
