Location/Facts Things To Do Getting Around Getting There Helpful Tips Weather Nearby Destinations

This place has all the expensive shops, you could spend a fortune in here. Personally I was bored after about half an hour, even less than that. When your inside it feels like you could be in a shopping mall in America or London. Probably why i wasn’t keen, I want to experience Thailand not the western world. It’s the largest mall in Thailand and one of the largest in the world.
