Shopping malls
1. Emporium Shopping Center
Emporium Shopping Center is the top competitor to Gaysorn Plaza, with lower floors dedicated to brands like Louis Vuitton and Rolex, but (unlike Gaysorn) it has more affordably priced goods on the upper levels. Emporium also has a popular food court and a good selection of restaurants on the 5th floor. Go to the cinema on the top floor and you will find an amazing private library centered around design. You can get a free day pass if you bring your passport. Spend the day reading amazing books.
How to get there: Emporium Shopping Center is located on the Sukhumvit Soi 24 (Phrom Phong BTS Station).
2. Robinson Department Store Sukhumvit
Robinson Department Store Sukhumvit located on 259 Sukhumvit Rd. Some good bargains can be had in the clothing department, especially with regular sales promotions.
How to get there: Take a taxi to Sukhumvit Rd. and look for Robinson in between Soi 17 and Soi 19. Or take the BTS to Asok station or the MRT to Sukhumvit station and walk.
