Bangkok is known for having some of the best shopping malls in South Asia, and this mall in Pathumwan is no different.
About
The beauty of this mall is that it gives you the ambience of walking down an open-air market in Chatuchak with the added bonus of air conditioning. If you are staying at a hotel like Anantara Baan Rajprasong Bangkok Serviced Suites, for instance, this mall is within access. Most travellers in a Bangkok hotel near BTS won’t miss visiting Platinum.
Shopping
Since it best caters to wholesale buyers of shoes, clothes, and accessories, planning a shopping bonanza for the whole family is ideal, where you get to buy 2 of the same kind instead of 1 for the same price.
Collections
From Guess to Sequel and Levis, the brands will your head reeling, and you can always have a break and grab some food at the 5-star restaurants that come with the mall. When you enter the mall, your shopaholic senses will be on alert as it has almost every high-end luxury brand store inside it, like the Maserati dealership.
Other things to do
The mall also has a food court and an aquarium inside it, so you can while away time staring at the fish when you get tired of window shopping or actual shopping. In contrast to the crowd and the scorching heat you might encounter at an actual street market, this air-conditioned version of it is well worth your visit.
