Stuck on a layover at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport and itching to stretch your legs? Or maybe you have some time to kill before your flight home and want to grab some last-minute souvenirs or luxury goodies? Luckily, you have several shopping options conveniently located near the airport.
Here’s a quick rundown of what awaits you:
- Luxury Outlet Heaven: If you’re a brand name buff, head straight to Central Village. This designer outlet mall, located just a 10-minute drive from the airport, boasts over 130 stores featuring discounted merchandise from global fashion houses like Chloe, Kate Spade, and Michael Kors.
- City-Themed Shopping Spree: For a unique experience, check out Terminal 21. This mall isn’t just about shopping; it’s a themed adventure! Each floor represents a different world city, from bustling London to romantic Rome. Browse international brands and local favorites alongside delicious food options.
Other Options to Consider:
- Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok: Another great choice for outlet shopping, located a bit further than Central Village but still accessible by taxi or ride-hailing app.
- The Paseo Mall Lat Krabang: A more general mall with a mix of stores, restaurants, and a cinema. Perfect for a casual shopping and dining experience.
- Mega Bangna Shopping Mall: One of the largest malls in Southeast Asia, Mega Bangna offers a vast selection of stores, an IKEA, and even a free shuttle service from the Bangna BTS Skytrain station. However, it’s further from the airport than the other options.
Remember to factor in travel time when choosing your mall adventure. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are readily available, or you can explore the Airport Rail Link for a quicker connection to some malls.
Happy Shopping!
