This was not nearly as good as I was expecting. It is not a mall as you would think of in the Western world, but is very cluttered over 7 or so floors, with a mix of markets and shops on the floors. You do tend to barter. If I was going for market shopping I'd much rather be going... more

Well worth a visit. Has a wide variety of stores and not as expensive as Siam Paragon. A whole area on an upper floor is devoted to mobile phones, accessories and other electronic devices. There’s nothing you won’t be able to find at MBK. Best for me was the “Tokyu” department store where I picked up a decent pair of... more

One of the worst experiences of my life - made me want to run into the street screaming. Thousands of people buying junk they don't need. more

Known to everyone as MBK, the central location means its always busy and full of life. Being so central the store assistants mostly all speak fair English. The prices are never bargain level because its so touristy. MBK is large with about 8 or so floors at a guess, the food court is great (Buy coupons at desk) and has... more
