    Huge Shopping Centre
    CentralWorld was probably the biggest shopping centre I visited during my four days in Bangkok. Quite modern and with everything you might want to buy, especially the brand names, it was easy to get lost in it's vastness. It is handily located near a rail station.

    BIGGEST MALL
    Biggest mall with a good shopping place and food court. A lot of restaurants, quite in the middle of bangkok. If you would like to go there, nearby Saim station. It offers a nice refuge from the Bangkok heat.

    Huge and clean mall
    I came to this mall to grab some lunch. The mall is very huge and I find it difficult to find the place you want to go even with a directory. They have popular shops for all kinds of things in very clean air conditioned setting. Some eateries are scattered across levels and you can find decent cafes and restaurants. This mall is a good spot to avoid heat in Bangkok and shop quality stuff.

    Massive Mall!
    Fantastic mall in the heart of all the action. Gigantic mall with so many options for dining and shopping. This place shines in every aspect without the 1000’s of people crammed into Big C supermarket across the street. There an endless amount of bakery’s, boba tea , restaurants and food court options everywhere but I suggest you start on the top floor for the supermarket tucked behind the movie theater behind the food court in the center and work your way down while wondering around for all day experience filled with shopping, eating and drinking.

    one of the best
    CentralWorld is one of the best hypermarket in Bangkok. It has many thing to do such as shopping, cinema, F&B, banks and money changers. There are many hypermarket in bangkok to go. But, I think CentralWorld is no.1. Whenever you visit to bangkok you should go to Central World at least one time.

    A good place
    This mall very easy to get with lots of great shopping and food. Inside the central store itself, there have a street food market. Many Thai food and other options. There are also a few places where you can get good massages. It’s located in quick walking distance from the train. Highly recommend.

    Nice mall experience!
    Beautiful mall - not particularly cheap, but very nice stores. The gorgeous Apple Store is on the corner in front of the mall. Our concierge recommended a restaurant on the 3rd floor, which we loved... I forget the name, but something like Ko Ki Ko Keh - that's not right, but I recommend it!

    Our recent Best Dining experience in Bangkok
    We wanted to take a moment to express our sincere appreciation for the outstanding service and dining experience we had at Central World Tops Foodhall recently. Restaurant manager Nataleeya and staff Thichapan took every effort to making sure our dining a truly memorable one. We will undoubtedly return to the restaurant during our next Bangkok trip, and also recommend it to our friends and family without hesitation.

    Unique!
    Cool Christmas Market outside! Like the other big malls in Bangkok there are tons to shop for in this mall. But what makes Central World different is the market they had outside. The time that I went there a giant Pikachu and a Christmas market. It was very unique and we enjoyed walking around here.

Lots of good, traditional eats for cheap in this CentralWorld food court on Level 7, representing a variety of flavors and styles from across Thailand. Had good boat noodles. Also very nice Northern Thai appetizer plate.

One of the great experiences is the outside part where you get to eat and drink some of the amazing food and support locals. What I loved about it the Royal project garden with excellent product yet very economical prices. The top floor with watts and two more shops next to it is a real competition to boots and other flashy names. But if you come to Thailand you really need to check out some of the great automatically branded and good quality. You will find them in fashion mall ,bags ,cloth, accessories and many only made in Thailand not China. The world center is very great for high end food and other variety but certainly not for authentic brands. Remember every thing comes with a cost. Look for hidden treasures mine was the herbs shop and the festive blooming flowers scattered every where.

This was my favorite shopping mall. Although the prices are a bit different and higher than what you imagine from Bangkok, you can buy some lovely goods. The mall is relatively large and has many good cafes and restaurants. It is located next to Siam Square where there are a very, very large number of different shopping malls. So if you do not manage to buy your favorite here, do not worry, Bangkok is the dream city of shopping center! There are still more !! 😜😜

Central World is one of the biggest malls in Bangkok, and is around the famous Pratunam locality and in very close vicinity to Indra Market and Pratunam night market. Though quite big, the mall has all the high branded stuff and is only good for window shopping for middle class individuals. Opposite the mall are 2 huge Super Markets, so if one goes to this place in the morning, it will surely be night by the time you finish window shopping in all these places. There are quite a few North and South Indian Restaurants in the Pratunam area, as well as an entry to the Pratunam floating night market. Rather than the Mall, the locality is quite happening and one can easily spend an evening in this space, also enjoying some street shopping in Pratunam.

Unfortunately at midday on Friday there were no free parking spaces and after driving around aimlessly for 15 minutes I had leave.
This is the second time that I visited Central world and found zero free parking spaces.
In future when I come next time I will have to come by taxi instead!
What a contrast with Terminal 21 just up the road where there is always ample free parking.

It's good to go in and rest when it's hot during your trip to Bangkok. Time flies when you look around because the shopping mall is big. I bought many pretty clothes and props. There are many fresh and high-quality fruits in the mart, so it's good to buy and eat.It was fun to choose food because the restaurant was big and clean.(방콕 여행 중더울 때 들어가서 쉬기에 좋다. 쇼핑몰이 크기 때문에 주위를 둘러보면 시간이 빨리 간다. 예쁜 옷과 소품을 많이 샀다. 마트에는 신선하고 품질이 좋은 과일이 많아서 사서 먹기에 좋다.음식관이 커서 음식을 고르는 것도 재미있었고 깨끗해서 좋았다.)

CentralWorld is a must-visit for my family and me when we visit Bangkok. It has got everything - shopping, cinema, F&B, banks and money changers.

The building layout is traditional since it has been around for a long time. Credit to the building management for making lots of effort to refresh the interior and keep the mix of stores updated.

Other malls have more interesting interior layouts like Central Embassy, Emquartier and Iconsiam for sure. However when it comes to the mix of shopping and F&B options, I do think CentralWorld is no.1.

The bonus is that their Christmas decorations are always top-notch so it is always a nice for us to visit during Decembers.

One of the coolest shopping center with huge variety in the heart of Bangkok. It’s located across the street from big C and superrich headquarters (one of the best money changer in Thailand).. The shops are beautifully presented.. There’s something for everyone! For upscale brands to handmade crafts to electronics.. They have farmers market that sells beautifully presented vegetables and a food court that actually tastes better and in better pricing than the Bangkok street market just outside the mall..
