- City of Angels
Bangkok is one of Asia’s most cosmopolitan
cities. Created as the Thai capital in 1782 by the first monarch
of the present Chakri dynasty, Bangkok is a national treasure house
and Thailand’s spiritual, cultural, political, commercial,
educational and diplomatic centre. Bangkok exceeds 1,500 square
kilometres in area and is home to one-tenth of the country's population.
Major tourist attractions include glittering Buddhist temples, palaces,
timeless “Venice of the East” canal and river scenes,
classical dance extravaganzas, and numerous shopping centres.
Shopping Areas and Markets
Shopping in Bangkok is not limited to one or two major streets.
There are many areas throughout Bangkok affording ample choices
and easy access. The following is just a selection of some of the
principal shopping areas.
- Ploenchit & Ratchaprasong top department stores and
luxury shopping malls are concentrated in the area, namely Central,
Sogo, Gaysorn Plaza, Isetan, Zen, Amarin Plaza, Peninsula Plaza,
all of which together make the largest shopping promenade in Bangkok.
Furthermore, the World Trade Centre and Narayana Phand Pavilion,
host the official handicraft centre selling items from all parts
of the country. Ratchaprasong intersection is the gateway to several
shopping areas such as Phloenchit-Sukhumvit, Siam Square-Mahboonkrong,
Silom and Pratunam-Phetchaburi.
- Sukhumvit is one of Bangkok’s main thoroughfares,
and the long road is lined with shops, boutiques and modern shopping
plazas ranging from Soi 3 (Nana Nua) up to Soi 63 (Ekkamai). Most
shops and restaurants are concentrated between Soi 3 and soi 21
(Asok) and along shortcuts between Asok and Ekkamai.
- Pratunam & Phetchaburi A highlight in the district
is Pratunam market, one of Bangkok’s biggest centres for ready-to-wear
clothing.
- Bo-be Market Situated close to Bangkok Railway Station,
Bo-be is one of the city’s renowned ready-to-wear clothing
centres, both wholesale and retail.
- Jatujak or Chatuchak Weekend Market Located adjacent to
Chatuchak Park, the weekend market, open on Saturday and Sunday,
is a Bangkok landmark where you can buy just about everything from
clothing to potted plants and everything in between a paradise for
browsers and bargain-hunters alike. The market also offers items
of furniture and home decor. It is also where professional and amateur
art-lovers and artists meet.
