Where to Shop and What to Buy in Chidlom - Ploenchit
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 Orchard Street.
Elevated walkways from the station link directly to where you want to be. The seven floors of Central Chidlom Department Store is especially good for fashion labels, shoes, cosmetics and homeware. Gaysorn Plaza, a sleek, cool white marble and chrome interiored complex, houses high-end luxury goods and designer labels. You'll find much the same sorts of ultra chic shopping in Erawan Bangkok, located at the Ratchaprasong junction. And don’t miss CentralWorld - a vast, sparkling shrine to modern consumerism, offering 500 shops and a wide range of products to suit most tastes and budgets. Highlights include trendy lifestyle store Manga, and fashionista-friendly department store Zen.

All Shopping Places in Chidlom
All Seasons Place
All Seasons Place consists of two towers, one of which leads into The Conrad Hotel. In this gargantuan building, a variety of stores collectively form the 'All Seasons Retail Centre'. The actual retail space is massive, and is spread over four levels.
While serving quite an upscale clientele, prices in some of the shops are often scaled down to affordable dimensions - especially at the end of a season. Clothing boutiques, books, stationery and shops specialising in high-end sporting accessories can be found here. There is fine custom-tailoring, an art shop, gallery, an antiques shop and a wine cellar.
The center also houses a health clinic and state of-the-art spa. Postal and various banking services are available too. The popular food court, adjoined to the supermarket on the second floor, offers unbelievably cheap fare in a casual atmosphere.
