MBK Center, Bangkok (Jan 09)

MBK Center, also known as Mahboonkrong or Mabunkrong (Thai: มาบุญครอง), is an enormous marble shopping mall in Bangkok, Thailand. At eight stories high and 330 metres long, with 2,500 shops using a total selling area of 89,000 square metres, this shopping mall used to be one of the biggest malls in Asia when it was first founded in 1985. It is particularly well known for its many vendors of mobile phones and other electronics, as well as furniture stores.-Wikipedia

MBK Center is very popular among tourists especially Malaysians and Singaporeans. Basically, you can get almost anything in MBK. From, electronics to furniture and they have a huge cineplex as well. I watched a movie there few years back.

In certain parts of MBK, its like a market. It has dedicated floors to things like electronics, clothings and so on. Some might like it and some might not. It has also Tokyu departmental store as well.

MBK is easily accesible with BTS Sky Train or taxis. Catered for medium to low income shopping center with a few lovely food courts. An option to go for all-in shopping center.
