Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The sheer variety of goods, from silk scarves to home décor, was impressive. However, the highlight for us was the incredible food. We sampled unique Thai street food alongside international dishes, all bursting with flavor.

    Top notch place, shopping experience. Amazing gourmet marketplace downstairs. An experience to savour. Designer and labels upstairs. Lots to take in and the department store is worth a visit too.

    Great place for shopping and you could spend most of the day here. A good variety of shops at reasonable prices and also a great place to eat.

    Seeing how many people utilize it for exercise was intriguing. I relished the fresh air and much-needed green space. Although I had been there previously, I had never seen the notorious lizards before, which was neat because they were lounging close to the glass house.

    I would suggest going to the Big C, which is just in front of it. Unless, of course, you're partial to expensive, high-end brands.

    It is fun to go at least once, but if you visit at night it is very loud with all the bars music competing with each other which results in just noise. Load of bars and jump in one to sit and watch the crazy unfold. Tuk tuks around here will rip you off if you aren't careful. You will get offered bugs on sticks, tattoos, laughing gas every second step which gets really annoying, but it was a bit of fun for an hour or so then our eardrums needed a rest.

    Chinatown is not a leisurely stroll it’s packed with people and cars alike, but for good reason. There is a mile worth of street food that’s worth exploring, followed by side streets with even more food to try.

    Various range of shops for everyone. Very relaxed and good city views and clean facilities. Various places to grab a coffee and a bite to eat. We took the city ferry across the river which was quick and easy if needing to commute from the other side.

    Been here 3 times. The vibe is nice, the view is nice, the environment is nice!
    Just the food here is a little bit more expensive than normal night markets. thanks the ferry-wheel which has discounts for people over 60s so my mom could enjoy the views from above…

    Platinum Fashion Mall in Bangkok is the go-to spot for fashion lovers, especially those on a budget. Located in the lively Pratunam district, this massive indoor mall is packed with hundreds of stalls offering a wide range of trendy clothing, accessories, shoes, and bags at affordable prices.

    The mall is known for its great deals, especially if you buy in bulk, and haggling is common, though prices are generally already low. The quality varies, so you can find everything from high-street fashion to more budget-friendly items.

    Shopping here can easily take up your whole day, but don’t worry—there’s a food court on the top floor with a variety of tasty and affordable options, plus plenty of cafes for a quick break.

    Located near other popular shopping spots and easily accessible by public transport, Platinum Fashion Mall is a must-visit if you’re looking to score some fashionable finds without spending a fortune. Just be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends!

    It is a must visit if you are looking for affordable clothes with good quality.

    A good place to shop for affordable and variety of items especially when shopping for clothes. Weekends are good days to go shopping.

    This place is crazy a single man's dream same as nanna plaza the heart of suckhumvit close to the MRT rife for ladies of the night but beware of the girls as they try to steal your money.use the safe when they shower so they can't see your number. Be warned ok. Oh ill definitely go again stay on sukhumvit 11 you will love it.

    The Erawan shrine is a small shrine directly located at the Grand Hyatt hotel. I used to see this place while walking on the sky bridge between my hotel and Central of the World Mall. I enjoyed watching prayer and worship and some girls dancing, especially in the evening, during my last days in Bangkok.
