Sukhumvit Road is one of the best places to go shopping in Bangkok. It can be easily accessed via the BTS Skytrain. Here are the reasons why shopping enthusiasts consider Sukhumvit a shopping haven.

Emporium Mall

Emporium shopping mall is known for its luxury boutiques selling both local and international designer brands. Located just a 14-minute car drive from Oakwood Residence Sukhumvit Thonglor Bangkok, this place is home to popular brands like Chanel, Dior, Hermes and more. If you head up into Emporium’s department store, you will be able to discover exquisite Thai fashion labels such as Sretsis.

Gateway Ekamai

When you enter Gateway Ekamai, you can see the fascination Thailand has with Japan. The decor includes a giant maneki-neko (lucky cat) who welcomes those who come from the Ekkamai BTS Skytrain Station. The first two floors starting from the ground level are dedicated to food while the second floor is dedicated to a slew of beauty salons. The third floor offers a bazaar-style shopping experience with independent clothing, accessories and jewellery shops. The next two floors are famously reserved for electronics. This is a great place to explore while holidaying at one of the Sukhumvit apartments.

K Village 

This is a modern mall that features hundreds of shops in its five zones. The main highlight is considered to be the dining area, which is quite packed during weekends. The lifestyle mall, which is usually frequented by local celebrities and the rich in Bangkok, is a welcome respite from the flashy malls that flank downtown Sukhumvit.

Dasa Book Shop

A secondhand bookshop in Sukhumvit, Dasa Book Shop is where book lovers can cosy up with a book and sip a cup of coffee. This bookshop is found in a three-storey shophouse and boasts thousands of titles, most of which are in English. But they also stock editions from other languages as well. You can even sell or trade your books at this bookshop.
