MBK (MahBoonKrong Center)

The famous MBK shopping mall has been a shopper's favourite since a long time back. Its said that everything you want to buy in Bangkok can be found in there. I must admit its not an exaggeration. Shoppers can find clothes and shoes, electrical appliances, food, furniture and lots more in the 8 level shopping mall. Besides that, it also has a bowling alley and a cinema to provide entertainment to shoppers. Food outlets are in abundance here as well with choices ranging from Japanese, Chinese, Thai and western food. There is also an international food court selling dishes for all nationalities and ethnicities

Though its commonly known as a shopper's must go, I realise in recent years MBK seems to have lost abit of its appeal. At least to me. Friends who have been to Bangkok for 2-3 times at least and have visited MBK everytime, please tell me if you do feel the same. Its true that you still can get anything you want there, but maybe its gotten a little boring because there is not much changes seen for the past few years. The things on sale were really those I saw during my first visit which was at least 6 years ago. However, if you are a first time traveller, or you intend to just settle all your shopping needs at one place, then perhaps MBK would suit your need.
