This is a great place to pick up your souvenirs, and as cheap as Chatuchak Weekend Market. Take the Skytrain and exit Asok (direct access via Skywalk). They also have lots of ATMs, including an AEON machine on the 2nd floor where there is no service fee charged. On the 6th floor you can find most of those souvenirs, T... More

Another great mall in Bangkok. Got all the regular mall type stores you would find anywhere in the world with clothing, electronic, etc. good for sale. The floor the the cell phones, tablets, accessories is really something. Whatever phone you want in whatever case can be yours. Tablets of all kinds, cameras, etc are all available too. There is also... More

Bangkok is definitely a paradise for shopper, and MBK is one of the main attractions! It offers everything A-Z and I had spent several hours amongst it's labyrinth of store. The building is conveniently located in the heart of the city and within walking distance to many other attractions. Bargaining is the normal for many shops, like Dong Xuan Market... More

MBK is good place for those who want to buy electronics, mobiles, laptops, TV, etc. Some stores sell copy products also at a lower price so be cautious when you check any product. Specifically ask if it is genuine or a copy. These stores do bargain a bit. This place also has many shops that sell clothes and accessories but... More

If you've been on the road and carting a heavy backpack around for a while you will love the change of scenery with a visit to MBK and the other surrounding shopping centres. We visited the area 4 times in the past 6 days that my girlfriend and I spent in Bangkok. Sometimes for shopping, others due to rain and... More

You can easily get lost at this place. Not because of the place itself but because of the amount of people that come here. It's huge and filled with people. If you want cheap stuff, MBK is enough for one day. More
