Central World Plaza Bangkok is a huge shopping mall in the center of Bangkok. Described as having 500 shops and 90 restaurants, Central World Shopping Plaza is one of the largest malls in Thailand and comprises two department stores, Zen and Isetan, and the main shopping mall.

In 2010, Bangkok riots saw part of Central World Plaza burn down but it has been rebuilt and is back to its former glory - some say it's even better than before.
Central World Plaza is one of those malls where it's difficult to find your way around. There are so many corners and levels that finding your way back to the same place seems nigh on impossible. Security guards wander around and you can ask for directions if you know where you are going, but it takes some getting used to.
There are plenty of lifts and escalators to have keep the traffic flowing and attempts have been made to provide some signage to help you get around, but even seasoned regulars find getting around a little confusing. Don't let that put you off though, this excellent mall is home to many of the shops that tourists and visitors to Bangkok favour such as Jim Thompson and Naraya and some world favourites such as Timberland, The North Face and Adidas where savings can be made. |

The floors of Central World Plaza in Bangkok are separated by shop types, so that electrical shops are on one floor, clothing and fashion on one or two floors and so on. The top two are dedicated almost entirely to restaurants where you can find fine Japanese restaurants, Thai and Chinese restaurants as well as western fair and some fast food favourites such as McDonalds, KFC, MOS Burger as well as Swensens, Dairy Queen and The Cream & Fudge Factory.

Scattered around are plenty of coffee shops where you can sit back and rest your feet whilst preparing for another shopping onslaught. The only reason to choose to shop at Central World Plaza over any of the other shopping malls is choice. The shops are very similar but not as up market as say The Emporium or Siam Paragon. However, there are larger numbers of shops catering to fashion and clothing and so it might be in this area that you can find something different. As for restaurants, furniture and electrical goods, it's no better than any of the others; just larger. |

The Central Card can be used at Central World, Zen and other Central Stores such as Central Chidlom with this card you can then receive 5% discount on all items sold within the department stores owned and run by the Central group. However, if an item is already part of a sale, the discount card will not provide you with a further 5%. It is not a discount card for all the shops within the mall of Central World. Bangkok shops are always offering discounts and sales. There is no season for these sales and so the Central Discount Card, although beneficial, it isn't always necessary as you probably save more by buying in the sales. |
Places To Eat
Rather than give you a list of places to eat, it's safer to tell you that there are many, many places to eat within Central World.
Most of the restaurants are on the upper levels with almost two floors dedicated to the culinary arts. The range of food types is wide too, so no matter what your taste, you'll find something that grabs your fancy with western food, Chinese, Thai and Japanese all readily available.

Kids Food
If you are with kids then there are plenty of well known brands such as McDonalds, Pizza Hut and a number of others but we'd recommend going to MOS Burger which is a Japanese burger bar serving up some very tasty and super fresh burgers. If McDonalds isn't where you like to take your kids but they simply must have familiar food, then MOS burger will hit the spot.
