    Mah Boon Krong(MBK): MBK Mahboonkrong Shopping Centre
  • Tip Rating:

  • Name of Shop: Mah Boon Krong(MBK)

    MBK is one of many mega shopping complexes in Bangkok. It's a modern mall just like the malls found throughout the west. The MBK center has it all.....clothing, jewlery, electronics, restaurants, movie theatre, and just about anything else you can imagine on 5 levels. The best thing about MBK is that its an airconditioned mall located in Siam Square...a central part of Bangkok.

    What To Buy: A great place to come to if you want to have a Thai artist reproduce any old photograph into an oil painting or charcoal drawing. They do beautiful work!

    What To Pay: This isn't the place to come if you are looking to haggle or bargain. The prices are fixed but with so much to choose from you are sure to find a deal.

     It was impressive when i celebrated my daughter's birthday party at MK Restaurant. All staff members were singing HBD song and clapping their hands altogether, really made my kid feel happier! she couldnt quit smiling because of that surprised incident.

     Your post on MBK- you said it's a great place if you're looking for a thai artist to reproduce an old photograph. Do you know how much they charge, generally? Cheers.

     Beautiful pic of an important monument! On the lighter side, remember what Confucius said: "Man who goes through airport sliding door sideways, is going to bangkok!" :D
