Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Ignore the luxury boutiques. The real reason to visit is the Parkside Market in the basement. Here you'll find around two dozen Michelin-starred and Bib Gourmand-awarded street food vendors under one roof. If you have three days in Bangkok and no time to scour the entire city for stalls, this is the perfect shortcut. The catch: the prices are significantly higher than what the same cooks charge on the street – and the critics agree.

Another highlight is the sixth floor, a rooftop garden in the heart of the building, a green oasis with panoramic views of the city. For a shopping mall in Bangkok, this is truly something special, and the elevator ride is worthwhile even if you don't intend to buy anything. The layout is clear, clean, and the clientele is young and international. It's significantly quieter on weekday afternoons than on weekends, so plan your visit accordingly if you don't want to wait for a table.
