Bangkok’s set of diverse districts allows the city to rake in over 20 million visitors each year, who show up for the incredible shopping experiences that complement its rich cultural portfolio. Read up more on the trendiest neighbourhoods found in Bangkok so you can plan accordingly.
Sukhumvit
Arguably the most popular district in Bangkok, the Sukhumvit Road stretches all the way to Cambodia. The Bangkok portion of the road, however, is home to tall skyscrapers, fancy hotels and an electric entertainment sector. The ever-reliable BTS Skytrain runs through Sukhumvit, stopping at Ekkamai, Thong Lo, Phrom Phong, Asok and Nana, and each of these stations has shopping malls and stores for your perusal.
Siam
As popular as Sukhumvit is, Siam is Bangkok’s biggest shopping district. This is the place to be if you’re on the hunt for branded luxury items. Or if you’re more budget-conscious, the MBK Centre, a megamall in Bangkok, can also be found in Siam.
Bangkok Chinatown
What’s a visit to Bangkok without getting engulfed in Chinatown’s burrows? From knick-knacks to street food, Chinatown, now including Charoen Krung Road and Yaowarat Road, provides a wide range of options. Stay at a serviced apartment in Bangkok, offered by a property such as Chatrium Residence Riverside Bangkok, to stay close to all the action in Chinatown.
Banglamphu
The Khao San Road that runs through Banglamphu is one of the main reasons that visitors are attracted to the district. Backpackers from all over the world convene in Banglamphu to take part in its rich nightlife. The district is also home to rich cultural landmarks such as Wat Saket (The Golden Mount) and Wat Suthat.
