Thailand is renowned worldwide not only for its architectural wonders steeped in Buddhist culture but also for its vast, modern shopping centers in Thailand that attract many tourists. Let Mytour guide you through the 5 most famous shopping malls in Bangkok, Thailand!
Terminal 21
Located on Sumkhumvit road between Soi 19 and 2, this is deemed one of the liveliest and most crowded areas in Bangkok. This modern building comprises 9 extremely spacious floors, serving as a complex of shopping combined with dining and service restaurants. Terminal 21 exudes the ambiance of a miniature airport, with each floor named after a different destination worldwide such as Rome, Paris, Tokyo, Istanbul, Japan... accompanied by designs and images strongly reminiscent of each location, offering a unique imprint that no other building possesses. Additionally, if you wish to try the famous mango sticky rice from the Land of the Golden Temple, head straight to the 5th floor, guaranteed not to disappoint you.

MBK Center
When traveling to Thailand, everyone wants to shop to their heart's content. But is there a center in Bangkok where anyone can shop?

This central area sells all kinds of fashion apparel, accessories, and even household items like TVs, air conditioners, refrigerators...

If you suddenly feel hungry while shopping, just hop on the elevator to the 5th and 6th floors. These are the restaurant areas offering delicious dishes at prices starting from just a few tens of thousands, perfect for Vietnamese taste buds.
