If you're looking for shopping - from upmarket brand names to high quality handicrafts - jump off at Chitlom BTS (Skytrain) station. It's the battleground of the city's finest malls and, with its abundance of upmarket, trendy and expensive things to buy, comparable to London's Knightsbridge or Singapore's Orchid Street.
Elevated walkways from the station link directly to where you want to be. The seven floors of Central Chidlom Department Store offer all you'd expect from a store of its illustrious ilk; it’s especially good for fashion labels, shoes, cosmetics and homeware. You can also reach Gaysorn Plaza, a sleek, cool white marble and chrome interiored complex housing high-end luxury goods and designer labels like Hugo Boss, Emporio Armani and Prada. You'll find much the same sorts of ultra chic shopping in Erawan Bangkok, located at the Ratchaprasong junction.
