sharon_chang, the popular places are:
MBK ~ I really hate this place coz of the crowds..so pls go in the morn when it's hopefully less crowded ~ its somewhat like our Lucky Plaza; MBK is also linked to Tokyu,
Siam Discovery Centre (~ reminds me of Scotts) with some branded shops like MAC, Diesel, Guess, Nine West,
Siam Centre ~ no big deal place honestly but it has Coca Steamboat (if you're a fan
);
Central World Plaza ~ this place has a departmental store called Zen which is a little like our John Little; shops-wise, also quite limited...Isetan is connected to Central World Plaza.
Opp Central World Plaza is
Geysorn - very upmarket...like our Paragon's new wing with all the branded shops like Gucci, etc. The top floor has very classy shops selling nice household stuff.
You must go to
Emporium (BTS Phrang Phong)..ooh..this is my fave shopping mall. It's like Ngee Ann City ~ with branded shops on one side and a departmental store on the other. Nice place to get clothes and lingerie. The top floor of the departmental store is also like the basement of Takashimaya..with food outlets and stalls selling pastries, cakes etc;
Central Chit Lom (BTS Chit Lom) is basically a huge departmental store like Taka..lots of shoes and bags and accessories.
Of course, u must visit
Chatuchak (BTS Mo Chit or cab)on weekends and
Suan Lum Nite Bazaar ~ definitely by cab. Both sell roughly the same stuff. I didn't go to the
Pratunam Wholesale market..but heard u can get really cheap clothing there
And remember
Patpong! Be prepared to slog it out! Ahhh....
