How To Get There

The best way to get to mbk bangkok is to catch the sky train and get off at National Stadium. Alternatively, you could take the Bangkok sky train and get off at Siam and then walk to Mahboonkrong passing through other malls and department stores such as Siam Paragon, Siam Discovery and Siam Center; all of which are excellent places to shop.

If the sky train is not an option, then jump into a taxi and say "MBK". All the taxi drivers know where it is and you should have no problems getting them to understand where you want to go.

Moving up to the second floor, it's here that you can find gold and jewelry shops selling quality items such as rings, earrings and necklaces. These stalls are all grouped together at the Tokyu end of MBK.

At the top of the escalators, round to the left, there are some free standing stalls selling fake watches, cosmetics, perfumes and health products.
The authenticity of the perfumes, cosmetics and so on is in doubt so buy with caution.

The fake watches are on sale but you have to choose from a catalogue and then you'll be shown the watch of your liking if they have it. Watches are graded by categories such as A, A+ and A++, with the latter being top quality and much more expensive. For an "A" grade men's watch, expect to be quoted around 1,800 Baht but aim for 1,000 Baht.

The third floor is similar to the 2nd floor but you can also find DVD shops such as Mang Pong selling authentic DVD movies. There are plenty of fashion and beauty stores including hair salons, massage places and some electronics shops.
You can get access to the BTS station from the 3rd floor and there are 3 very good camera shops selling Digital SLR cameras, lenses, camera bags, tripods and all manner of camera accessories.
Burger King and Oishi restaurants can be found on the 3rd floor.

The 4th floor is almost entirely dedicated to mobile phones, both new and used, as well as mobile phone accessories. If you need a new phone or just a cheap second hand one whilst you travel Thailand, the 4th floor will serve your needs.
Also on the 4th floor you have electrical goods shops selling CDs, MP3s, portable DVD players, in-car hi-fi and some more fashion shops.

There are a number of stalls selling pirated software, pirated DVD movies and games.
Expect to pay about 120 Baht for software and 150 Baht for movies. Neither can be trusted for quality.

The 5th floor is mainly furniture or furnishings although there is an excellent Canon dealership with a whole range of canon cameras, lenses and accessories

There are a number of places to eat on this level but the most favoured is The Fifth Avenue which is like a food court where you are given a ticket upon entering and then you can order from any of the stalls and pay one fee on exiting. All items are added to the ticket when you order. The ticket is swiped at the shop to add the sum and then swiped on exit to total the amount.

6th Floor

The 6th floor caters to Thai souvenirs, gifts and arts and crafts. There is a large number of stalls selling all sorts of Thai style souvenirs. Prices will depend on your ability to bargain.

On the same floor there are a number of stalls selling gaming consoles. You can pick up gaming consoles such as Wii, PS3, and X-Box 360 as well as PSPs which are very easy to get. Expect to pay about 8,500 Baht for a PSP.
Along with the game consoles are pirated games for PC, and the consoles but if you own one of these machines, it DOES NOT mean you can play these pirated games. Much of the time your console will have to have been patched or modified with a special chip or software hack in order for the games to play.

As well as pirated games, there are plenty of stalls selling pirated movies on DVD and pirated software.


If you get to the MBK shops early, you can usually get a good deal on the items you want to buy. We've had a number of experiences where the stall owner will give you a good deal in order to secure a sale for the day.
