[Bangkok] Does Bangkok need another mega-mall? It seems so.
One Bangkok is the city’s latest mega-development, situated at the intersection of Wireless Road and Rama IV Road.
The complex is quite conveniently located near the Lumphini MRT station, with direct access from Exit 3. This makes it easily reachable for tourists using public transportation.
The retail space is divided into three interconnected zones: Parade, THE STOREYS, and POST 1928, each providing a unique thematic experience.
Notably, it houses Thailand’s first Mitsukoshi Depachika, a Japanese supermarket and food hall.
I also noted the inclusion of green spaces and art installations which create a more pleasant atmosphere.
However, I did note that not all the shops are filled, and there are parts of the mall that feel rather empty.
With over 250 restaurants and food stalls, it caters to a wide array of culinary preferences.
On the B1 level, options include staples like spaghetti and ramen at places such as Spaghetti and Tonchin Ramen, offering familiar comfort foods. Mama Café and Pacamara Coffee Roasters provide beverages, while dessert lovers can indulge at Hattendo & Homme.
The first floor continues this diverse lineup with more beverages at % Arabica, and Japanese options at Men Sho Tokyo and Kin Roll. Thai cuisine remains prominent with Baan Suriyasai and Chongdee Teahouse.
The third floor caters to fine dining and upscale options, featuring renowned names like Wolfgang’s Steakhouse, Izakaya Hotei, and Man Fu Yuan.
