Central Embassy is another mall stacked top to bottom with designer labels—and with an all-white interior and contemporary layout, it’s perhaps Bangkok’s sleekest. The building’s pedigree is only enhanced by its location on the former plot of the British Embassy. Best of all, its spacious design offers shoppers more breathing room than the other malls nearby. This makes it a great alternative to Siam Paragon’s overcrowded atmosphere. And be sure to look up to see the beautiful symmetry of the escalators—the mall’s visionary design is the reason many keep returning.

The slick spot has all the usual suspects when it comes to brand name fashions—Gucci, Chanel, Givenchy, and many more call Central Embassy home. And like any good Bangkok mall, it also has a state-of-the-art cinema that happens to be one of the city’s most luxurious and expensive! Apart from high-end labels and movie theatre, visitors also come here for the unparalleled range of food. The basement features reasonably-priced Thai food, while the fifth floor offers an array of excellent fine dining.
