Why go, and how to do it well
The Central World Skywalk is an elevated pedestrian bridge network in Bangkok's Pathum Wan district, connecting several of the area's largest retail and commercial destinations. The skywalk links CentralWorld, Gaysorn Village Tower, Big C, Platinum Shopping Mall, and Market Shopping Mall, allowing pedestrians to move between these major hubs without descending to street level. It also extends toward Chit Lom BTS station, making it a genuinely useful connector for anyone navigating this busy part of the city.
For visitors, the skywalk offers a practical and comfortable alternative to Bangkok's congested footpaths and heavy traffic. The elevated route is shaded and wide enough to handle consistent foot traffic, and it provides an interesting vantage point over one of the city's most commercially active intersections. At night, the view down to the streets below gives a clear sense of just how lively the Pathum Wan area becomes after dark.

The Central World Skywalk is a fantastic addition to Bangkok's urban landscape. Connecting major shopping malls like CentralWorld and Gaysorn, it provides a reliable and safe alternative to walking on the busy streets below. This elevated walkway is a significant step in the modernization of Bangkok, ensuring pedestrian safety and convenience. It’s free to use and offers great photo opportunities of the bustling city below. I strongly recommend people to use the Skywalk more often for a secure and enjoyable walking experience. Five stars!
Skywalk, since opened and connected #Platinum shopping mall #Centarl World, #Market shopping mall, #Big C, and #Gaysorn Village Tower by the bridge, used by so many people walk across the long skywalk bridge every day.
The bridge connects Big C (on the second floor) and Central World. A great spot to witness how heavy the congestion gets at night.
