There are two branches opposite one, not far apart, and the style outside the store is pink and tender. The newer one has a large area of two floors and sells all girls' style clothes. The old one has three floors, two floors below, and a dessert shop upstairs, with a good view.
The clothing price is cheaper than that of the camp, but the quality is also slightly inferior, so more choices are needed.

Shangtai Business Circle has another business circle with the same name next to Siam Business Circle-Shangtai Business Circle. Above the main road next to the business circle, there is an overpass connecting all the shopping malls, connecting the shopping malls on both sides of the road.
BTSChitLom stands out, reaching CentralEmbassy in the east, the magical Four-faced Buddha and Amarin nearby in the south, and the shopping center gathering area in Shangtai business district in the west.
Gaysorn and BigC arrive first, and the "conjoined" shopping malls Centralworld, ZEN and ISETAN can be reached through the overpass.
Central World+Zen+Isetan
CentralWorld, a super-large shopping center, is connected to ZEN, a local open department store, in the south, and the international brand ISETAN in the north.
The brands in CentralWorld are mainly cheap and luxurious, and there are many restaurants in online celebrities, which are not only easy to go, but also delicious.

Accessibility: (complete brand, low price, best shopping center)
Beatability:? (Mainly shopping and catering malls, the decoration style is not outstanding, but it has a good view from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the mall. )
BIGC
Super supermarkets all over Bangkok, opposite the central world, are super hot. It is the only BIGC that is open until 2 am, and it is always full of customers. We often come here because we live in the Anoma Hotel next to the supermarket.
BigC is so popular because it is the best place to buy gifts. There are all kinds of snacks, cosmetics and medicines in Thailand, and the prices are low.

3. if you can't buy daily chemicals in bigc, you can also find them in your boots.
There are many people in the supermarket. Suggestions are after eleven o'clock in the morning or at night.
5. Payment supports WeChat, Alipay or UnionPay card swiping. If it exceeds 2000 baht, it can be refunded. Go to the customer service center opposite the cashier after checking out.
Gaisen
The shopping mall with excellent geographical location can be reached by BTSChitLom as soon as it stands out. However, because of the high-end positioning of shopping malls, there are few customers.
The whole shopping mall is divided into south tower and north tower, with six floors. The first floor is convenience store 7 1 1, superrich and some restaurants. The first and second floors are clothing bags, and the high floor is a high-end restaurant.
Recommended stores:
BOYY (an American bag brand, very nice), LV (there are fewer people in the branch here without queuing)
Recommended restaurant:
Hamburg & Lobster (London online celebrity fast food restaurant, you can eat oversized lobster), Boyy &；; SONCAFE(ins wind cafe), PASTE (Michelin 1 Xingtai restaurant)
Accessibility: I haven't found a place to go except the two I recommended.
Shooting degree: (There are many green plants in the shopping mall, and the shooting ability is not bad)
Amalin
Another shopping center with excellent location, BTSChitLom, stands out and arrives. Amarin used to be a hotel brand. In this bustling area of Bangkok, we also invited the four-faced Buddha. Maybe we saw more business opportunities here, so we also set up a shopping center.
There are many local brands and fast fashion brands in the shopping mall, and there are many delicious foods in the food court downstairs. The most attractive thing is the various decorations at the door during the festival every year. The New Year of 20 18 is the theme of line, and the New Year of 20 19 is the theme of space. It's easy to shoot.
Accessibility: Compared with the CentralWorld opposite him, this shopping mall has fewer brands and is not suitable for tourists to visit.
Beatability:? The art installation at the entrance of the shopping mall is very festive and easy to shoot. )
Sukunyi Business Circle takes a few stops east from Siam or ChitLom along BTS line, and you can reach Sukunyi Business Circle. The shopping malls here also have their own characteristics.
Terminal2 1 focuses on ethnic customs. Emporium and Emquartier are surrounded by green plants and are full of design sense. Thecommons focuses on small and fresh literary styles.
Terminal 2 1
The nine-story shopping mall next to BTSAsok Station is positioned as a fair-price public. Mainly local stores, but also some brand stores.
Each floor has different national themes, corresponding to small shops with local characteristics:
LG Floor Caribbean (specialty stores, grocery stores, snacks), G Floor Rome (Boots on this floor), M Floor Paris (often holding events, markets and promotions), 1 Floor Tokyo (focusing on women's wear, with LynAround and dessert shop AfterYou), 2 Floor London (focusing on men's wear, with designers and homemade brands) and 3 Floor Istanbul (focusing on jewelry).
Accessibility: There are not many brands to visit, and shopping in small shops is similar to many markets, so it is difficult to be the first choice for shopping. )
Photographeability: (It is an old shopping mall with years visible to the naked eye, but the positioning of the terminal building and the artistic installations with different themes on each floor are still photographed)
Emquari and the shopping mall
Asok takes a stop to the east and arrives at PhromPhong Station. You can see these two shopping centers across the street. Whether it is a cheap chain brand, a trendy brand suitable for young people, or a top international boutique, everything is available. The shopping center is great, surrounded by green plants, with waterfalls and hanging gardens.
temporalis
Specializing in high-end brands, it is a lady-class shopping mall that Japanese people love to visit. The resident brands include LV, Dior, Cartier and other first-line brands, Thai designer brands and high-end restaurants.
TheEmQuarier
Compared with Emporium, the younger TheEmquarier is more popular with me. It is easy to buy, delicious and easy to shoot, and it is younger in the brand. The shopping center consists of three relatively independent buildings:
Spiral line: M floor is a high-end brand, 1 floor is a popular brand, and the waterscape hanging garden on the fifth floor is 3000 square meters. The 6th-9th floors are all the 50 most distinctive restaurants in Thailand. Thai food, Japanese food, western food and afternoon tea are all highly valued.
Waterfall: The most awesome waterfall in Southeast Asia is as high as 40 meters. The G floor is a food court, and the M- 1 floor is a variety of fashion brands (most of the three buildings).
Glass: high-end brands and collection shops on the M floor, 1 floor is occupied by HM and ZARA, two giants of fast fashion, and upstairs are watches and jewelry sales and a gym.
Accessibility: (There are high, middle and low grades, so you can go shopping crazily)
Beatability:? The irregular streamline shape of the building has designed a large number of glass curtain walls, French windows and a large number of green plants. On the whole, it looks like a tropical rain forest. Be sure to take pictures. )
Before 20 18, there was only one Ferris wheel night market on the Chao phraya River, which could not be called a business circle. However, in the second half of 20 18, Siam ICONSIAM was born and became the hottest shopping place in Bangkok.
ICONSIAM Siam World, a world-class luxury shopping center, cost 54 billion baht to build, and it is worth spending a day visiting.
What to visit?
SOOKSIAM Siam Music City on 1 Building G: It brings together the characteristic culture and food of 77 provinces in Thailand, as well as the indoor water market. Unfortunately, I didn't visit this floor on this trip.
2. RIVERPARK on the G floor: The music fountain is staged regularly every day, with bright lights. Be sure to go and see it. Next to the connecting pier, it can be delivered to the other side of the Chao phraya River for free.
