MBK Center

A bustling multi-story shopping mall in downtown Bangkok, renowned for its wide array of electronics, fashion, and street food vendors.

Tips from the community

MBK is Bangkok’s eight-story, 2,000 shop juggernaut of shopping. If you are looking for a souvenir and they don’t have what you are looking for here, it either doesn’t exist, or you have not found your way through the labyrinth into the area that sells it. The focus of MBK is less on standard mall shops, although there are a reasonable number of them as well, but more on the small, individually-owned shops, grey market, souvenirs, knock-offs of many varieties, and locally produced items. Whether looking for a hamburger, suit, massage, some costco brand vitamins, haircut, or a Nintendo Switch, you can find it here. Many of the shops here will haggle a bit on price, especially if you want more than one. If you are looking for a genuine, branded item of high-value, I would consider looking elsewhere.
