Must visit malls in Bangkok!
The malls in Bangkok would be sufficient in making any shopaholic shop until they drop. Additionally, they would help all the dads out there stay entertained when dragged along. The thing with Bangkok is that there are so many malls, and after visiting, I think it is a waste to go to too many. The ones I’ve included have an extra element that makes them stand out from most malls you’ll come across.
Terminal 21
Terminal 21 is probably the best mall I’ve ever gone to, I was riddled with food poisoning and feeling quite delicate and yet I insisted I had to visit every floor.
What sets Terminal 21 apart is its unique theme, where each floor represents a different international city. Creating a diverse and immersive shopping experience. From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the chic boutiques of Paris. The mall transports shoppers around the world without ever leaving Bangkok. This thematic approach extends beyond the storefronts, with each floor adorned with intricate decorations and details that capture the essence of the chosen city. Terminal 21 boasts a curated mix of international and local brands. Offering an eclectic array of fashion, accessories, and lifestyle products. Beyond shopping, the mall features an impressive food court that mirrors the diversity of its global theme, making it a culinary journey in itself. Whether you’re a fashion enthusiast, a foodie, or someone seeking a one-of-a-kind shopping adventure. Terminal 21 promises an unforgettable and truly global experience.
Spoiler alert: yes even the toilets are themed and yes they are the best part.

Chatuchak Market, or JJ Market
Of course I know we’re looking at malls in Bangkok. But if you are in the mood to shop why visit a mall when you can go exploring in the worlds biggest market! I found some real treasures in this market and didn’t even make a dent. With over 8,000 stalls across 27 sections, the market offers a diverse array of goods, from clothing to antiques.
