    It claims to be the largest lifestyle shopping complex in south-east Asia (Maybe it is since it has 560,000 Square meters of floor space and as it sprawls over 8 levels. There are two department stores – Thai-owned Zen and the Isetan Japanese store. In addition there are hundreds of other small stores, over 50 restaurants, two cinema complexes, Bangkok’s largest supermarket with many international brands not previously available, a fun park and a hotel.

    In the CentralWorld or Central World Plaza, Bangkok you will find six interconnected shopping zones which offer different feel and unique features. In this shopping complex 100 escalators and see-through lifts are built. Particularly speaking, the design of this huge shopping complex is basically influenced by the shopping street concept whereby shoppers can take a good look of the stores at a glance.

    After checking out stuff at Central World Plaza you can easily move to other famous shopping centers, markets and stores which include Gaysorn shopping center, Big C Ratchadamri, Amarin Plaza, Siam Paragon, Siam Center, MBK Center, Platinum Fashion Mall, Pantip Plaza, Pratunam Market.

    The flagship department stores are Zen and Isetan, but the core is a labyrinth of shops, restaurants and entertainment, including cinemas and an ice-skating rink. Located on the seventh floor is the Thailand Duty Free Shop, which is the only government-operated, downtown duty-free shop in the country. Step into the World Trade Center in the morning and you will not see the sun for the rest of the day!

    Central World mainly has High Street brands which target the middle to upper-middle class thais and tourist while Siam Paragon has wider range from High Street to Designer brands which target the middle to high class.

    Maxx out your Credit Card!

    The shops inside Centralworld are generally open from 10am until 9pm everyday.

    This huge mall was called the World Trade Center until a few years ago, and doubtless many taxi drivers will still call it that. It changed its name in 2003 to Central World Plaza, following a change of ownership. Now, the mall has been remodelled and undergone another name change, this time the name has been shortened to CentralWorld. The name comes from the parent group - the Central Group that run the chain of Central Department stores and are the local partner in the Big C hypermarket chain, and they have plans to add a hotel to the mall in the near future.

    There is an excellent department store - Isetan - within the complex. There are also cinemas and a food court, 2 good bookshops - Asia Books and Kinokuniya, and in peak season (December to February) a beer garden is set up outside. If you need a western fast-food fix there is also plenty to choose from here. The shops inside the complex are generally open from 10am until 9pm.

    It's particularly handy for the Indra Regent, Amari Watergate and Baiyoke Sky hotels, all of which are a short walk to the north.

    If there aren't enough shops for you in the centre itself - just cross the road (via the footbridge) and you'll find a huge Big C, the upmarket Gaysorn Plaza, and several other shopping opportunties...

    If that hasn't got you all shopped out there's also a new walkway under the Skytrain line which will take you right to the doors of the Siam Center and the new Siam Paragon mall.

  • Southeast Asia's biggest lifestyle shopping complex CentralWorld, Bangkok accommodates everybody's taste, pocket and style. The latest addition to the city's 'mallscape' is the newly and fabulously revamped CentralWorld, which is officially the largest mall in Southeast Asia.

    These malls are where you'll find the city's finest fashion stores, global brands, book shops, speciality stores, accessories stands and all kinds of luxury designer lifestyle goods. Not only are you spoiled for choice; it's all super easy to navigate. Shopping malls are modern and air-conditioned, thus a pleasant alternative to the bustling hot markets, and most complexes are easily accessible via the city's modern and efficient Skytrain (BTS) system. Just don't forget to sport comfortable shoes!

    If you've got only a few hours in which to accomplish a lot of shopping, concentrate on the area near the World Trade Center mall, just east of Siam Square. Between the Regent Hotel and Grand Hyatt hotels is the Peninsula Plaza with high fashion boutiques and Asia Books, where you can find a lot of English titles.
