Highly recommended for shopaholics. MBK (which stands for "Mahboonkrong") has 7Ā massive floors, offering a market-type shopping mayhem experience.
This hugely popular mall is a rabbit warren of stalls and shops that sell pretty much everything. Great for cheap T-shirts, used designer jeans, mobile phones, souvenirs, jewelry. On the ground floor, there are artists who can replicate photographs as paintings.
MBK has a huge section of mobile phones, with dozens of booths selling 'pay as you go' Thai SIM cards (if you're staying more than a few days in Thailand, then a Thai SIM card can save you money). Dozens of international restaurants are located here, as well as fast food chains - Starbucks, etc.
Tip: Many jeans shops can get alterations for your pants done in just 15-20 minutes if you ask.

Enough world-class retailers to keep the most demanding gay shopper happy for hours. Fashion, lifestyle, living, technology and luxury - itās all here. There is a huge range of food options, from simple one-dish meals to upmarket restaurants and a gourmet supermarket.

Traffic around Siam Paragon can be very bad during rush hours. We strongly recommend getting there by the BTS skytrain (Siam Station) that has direct bridges to the mall.

To gay visitors, Patpong is almost impossible to miss - given its location between the twoĀ main gay streets in Silom. The night market operates Tuesday to Sunday, from around 7pm toĀ around midnight (a bit later on the weekends).
The street stalls sell a range of fake 'designer' clothing, accessories,Ā bags, watches, souvenirs, CD's and DVD's. Mixed up with these stalls are a few shops selling reasonable Thai arts & craft products.
BargainĀ hard. Generally safe, but like all busy markets, be aware of your wallet and personal belongings. 'Street food' vendors are plentiful here if you're up for a late-night bowl of noodles.
