Shopping Malls in Bangkok

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.
