MBK, Bangkok's most legendary shopping mall, popular with both tourists and locals every day.
MBK, or Mah boon krong as is its full name, was built in 1985. And has been popular ever since
It's not as up-market or stylish as neighbouring Siam Discovery, Siam Centre and the glitzy Siam Paragon, but it offers a huge amount of different shops and local goods for a bargain.
This is definitely the most packed of all shopping spots in Bangkok.
If you want to buy a souvenir before you go back home, MBK is the place to be. There are many stalls with typical Thai souvenirs.
Besides shopping, they also offer a wide range of entertainment. You can easily spend a full-day in MBK, which makes it the perfect place to go on a rainy day.
MBK is open everyday from 10 A.M till 10 P.M. 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
MBK is easy to reach thanks to a direct walkway from the BTS.
Take the Skytrain from any station to: National Stadium and from there take Exit 4 and you can walk straight into the side of MBK.
Literally every taxi driver knows this famous shopping mall in Bangkok, so you can hail a cab from anywhere, but traffic can be intense and we highly recommend you to NOT take a taxi during rush hour.
