A Guide To Designer Shopping In Bangkok

If you have money to blow and are looking for some top designer brands to spend it on, Bangkok is the place to be. The city is teeming with malls, though some of them are less than luxurious. With indoor, vendor-style shops showcasing tacky souvenirs and synthetic, well, everything, sometimes you just want to splurge a little. Here, a guide to the best designer shopping in Bangkok.

1. Siam Paragon

Bakery, Food Court, Fast Food

Grab your credit card before making your way to Siam Paragon, the third-largest mall in Thailand. Many people consider Siam Paragon to be at the city’s core, as it is directly in front of the BTS Skytrain stop Siam. This is where the two lines of the train come together as one. Siam Paragon emits luxury from the moment you step off the train, as its large, glass and steel entrance encases the mall’s name in gold font. After having entered one of the most luxurious malls in Bangkok, shoppers are immediately bombarded with designer brands, including Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Versace. Weave further into this mall and you will find Marc Jacobs, Burberry, Jimmy Choo, Chanel, and many more brand shops throughout.

2. King Power Complex

King Power Complex

Regardless of its modest size, the King Power Downtown Complex is bringing together all the designer brands you could want under one roof. Standing only three stories high, visitors of this mall will surely be surprised at its impeccable shopping arena. Shoppers are first greeted by King Power Downtown’s crown atrium, a large glass and steel structure that sits just outside its entrance. This mega duty-free and tax-free mall is home to more than 100 of the world’s leading fashion brands. Some internationally acclaimed names include Calvin Klein, Armani Jeans, Christian Dior, Givenchy, and many more. It also brings customers handcrafted designs from Thai talent. King Power is also just a five-minute walk from the BTS Skytrain stop Victory Monument.
