The ‘grand-daddy’ of Bangkok’s big shopping centres yields a market feel in indoor air-conditioned comfort, with floor upon floor of shops selling just about anything, and is topped with a movie theatre. An entire floor is devoted to mobile phones and digital cameras. Ample clothes, bag and furniture stores spread across the remaining levels. Tourists can apply for a special Tourist Discount Card (MBK) at the information desk, which entitles you to between 5–30 percent discounts on selected merchandise and in some restaurants.
