About
This enormous mall is one of Bangkok’s most popular shopping haunts, and bargain hunters will enjoy making their way through the hundreds of small shops selling electronics, souvenirs, cosmetics, and more. In addition, many visit the mall for the vendors trading in replica clothing and accessories. There is a food court and multiple eateries on each floor—look through the mall directory and pick from the local and international cuisines on offer. MBK Center is located near the Bangkok Art and Culture Center. Kick off your shopping mission by alighting at the National Stadium BTS Skytrain Station on a weekday morning. – Tripadvisor

    Shopping Fun and in air con
    This centre was almost everything you want to buy on holiday and it’s air conditioned. Most vendors have fixed price signs but are willing to discount for multiple items. We had an iPhone lens fixed for a great price. The best prices are achieved if the first sale of the day. Plenty of food options. Take the BTS and get off at National Stadium Station.

    Mbk centre Bangkok, Thailand cloth and watch shopping
    Been watching YouTube clips for last couple of months about going to MBK! Yes you need to barter but deals are there to be had. Got a decent couple of watches, T-shirts, and boxers. Kept within my budget and enjoy bartering with the stall holders.

    Ideal for bargain shopping
    This is one of the famous and popular malls in Bangkok. Everytime I visit the city, this is where I buy souvenirs and gifts and I really end up saving a lot of money! It has practically everything you need and at the lowest price too! Just go straight to the 3rd level where the souvenir shops are located. Prepare to haggle well! 😀

    I had a great experience at MD clinic and highly recommend this clinic
    The healthcare professionals were highly skilled and provided me with detailed information about the treatments available. The treatment I received was outstanding, and I was pleased with the results. The price is very goo as well! I highly recommend this clinic and will be returning for future treatments.

    Fun Leisure Time
    Has every type of store within walking distances. This mall is always packed and the prices of products are fair for all customers. The staff all can speak English and are friendly. Please note that not all stores accept credit card.

    Old but good
    I found the MBK Centre to be one of my favourite shopping centres in my brief visit to Bangkok. While it was a little old, it didn't have the glitzy big brand shops but smaller shops with reasonable prices. There was also one floor that had really small shops which gave the whole floor of a market. Prices there were quite reasonable. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

    Visiting mall with kids
    Good place to find souvenirs and gifts. Probably the cheapest place around to buy clothing, technology, food, etc. the place is very big, so you may lose your family easily. Make sure you agree on a meeting spot incase you get lost. The easiest one is McDonald, they have one at the main entrance. If you have small children you can lose them easily I had to carry my kids all the time. One thing I wish I knew before going is you can get strollers from the front desk for free, you give them your ID or passport and they will return them back once you give back the stroller. We lost some of our family members, the front desk staff announced the name on where to meet but the mall is so crowded and loud, it’s hard to hear the announcements. You can easily spend 3 days shopping in that mall. If you order a grab, the pick up points are very limited, mall is surrounded by metal to block people from walking out to the street. So check the spot from the outside before ordering the grab on the exist of the mall.

    Lots of quality goods
    Huge amount of shops on each floor and from what I saw the quality of the goods on offer was very good. Good bartering skills needed to get a deal you’re happy with. Downside for my visit was some security alert that made them close up the shops, could have hung around but didn’t. I would recommend this mall and I visited around 11:00 am mid week so it wasn’t that busy.

    Great shopping experience.
    Visited the centre in July 2023 and is the best shopping experience I have had in a long time. Plenty of shop, food and services offering basically everything under the sun. Admittedly we spend the majority of our time walking through the clothes market. Although they are fake designer items, they are of quite good quality and probably would go unnoticed unless under close inspection. All the staff are very friendly and happy to negotiate on price. Highly recommend this place especially if you want designer items without paying the prices.

    Awesome shopping centre with plenty of choices including knock off designer goods
    This shopping mall is about 500 metres away from Siam Paragon. They have heaps of shops to cater all budgets. You will need your bargaining skill handy or you’ll pay premium price. Some restaurants are very creative and looked awesome. Far more creative than western restaurant or food courts.

Great to be back in BKK. 13 trips over 21 years and MBK is one of my favorites. Tons of shops and food, you name it. Plan on spending all day here between the food, shopping, movie theater and games. Easy taxi out the back door

There is so much to do and see. MBK does a great job of having upscale and modern products available while keeping through to its Thai roots and Asian Cuisine. When you first go it can be a bit overwhelming but luckily the staff is very knowledgeable about the building and all it has to offer. 10/10 must visit while in bangkok, bring your camera

There are many many shops but I did not find all the good prices that I expected. There are several best shopping options in Bangkok than this very touristic place.

Again, we had read reviews and wondered if this was going to provide what we wanted- watches, trainers and bags!! It has it all -we noticed a lot of tourists asking a price and then walking away- this is not how things are done here! If you are genuinely interested come with a realistic budget of what you want to spend on an item- ours was £60 max a watch. Select a store and examine something you are interested in, once you are happy ask a price, then come back with a counter and so on- you can get deals for buying one or more- just barter, the price they give will be high as many people just pay it. Excellent place to have some sport re watches bags and clothes!! We got decent watches and bags.

Wow, this really has to be seen to be believed. Absolutely gigantic inside with 8 floors and hundreds of stalls. Floor 3 is the best with lots of small stalls. A good tip is to bring a wheelie suitcase to put all the stuff into

MBK has many foreigners visiting here and it is a large shopping mall. There is a movie theater on the 7th floor. Numerous restaurants and communication equipment repair shops. I like to eat at MBK because the snacks at MBK are very delicious. There are often many activities held at MBK. MBK is therefore a very interesting place to visit. On the 4th floor there is a school connected to the mall. It is considered a very convenient place to travel. There are also many photo corners and cafes where you can sit and relax. Therefore, I recommend tourists to go play at MBK.

COMPLETELY USELESS NOW !!
Been there for more than 2 decades, spending hours shopping with fun amongst hundreds of small retailers in levels 2, 3, 6 or Tokyu..
Today, thanks to the new Middle East customers, PRICES ARE X 3, level 6 is empty, only level 3 left end side market remains..
MBK time is over. No more interesting, like all touristic places with different phases. When too crowded with dumbos, they finally sink..

MBK is a shopper's paradise in all ways. So many beautiful things to buy. There's stuff for all designer labels. There's also a floor that covers electronics and phones.
