EmQuartier
A mall you actually walk around rather than trudge through, with the dining floors doing the heavy lifting.

- Daily 10:00–22:00
- Haggle at Markets, Not Malls
- Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.

Most Bangkok malls blur together after a week. This one doesn't, mainly because it isn't one box but several blocks stitched together with sky bridges and terraces, so you end up wandering rather than pacing a corridor. The retail is what you'd guess from this stretch of Sukhumvit: international luxury, contemporary fashion, beauty counters, plus a few smaller boutiques worth a look. If you're not shopping, none of that matters much.
The reason to come is the upper floors. Restaurants from the sixth up sit around a hanging garden of dense greenery, and eating with that as your view beats another food court under strip lighting. Prices match the setting, so go in expecting to pay for it. Downstairs, Gourmet Market and Tops cover the unglamorous stuff, snacks, fruit, things for the hotel room, and there's KFC and McDonald's if the family needs a truce. Seasonal decorations change through the year, which is why locals keep drifting back.

Reviews from Google
EmQuartier is one of Bangkok’s most vibrant and well-designed shopping malls, seamlessly blending luxury retail, lifestyle concepts, and dining into a visually striking space. Its modern architecture, split across multiple zones and connected by sky bridges, makes exploring the mall a fun and dynamic experience rather than a routine shopping trip. The mall offers an excellent mix of international luxury brands, contemporary fashion labels, and beauty stores, catering to both high-end shoppers and trend-focused visitors. One of EmQuartier’s strongest highlights is its F&B lineup, with a wide range of restaurants, cafés, dessert spots, and bars—especially along the Helix and upper levels—making it a popular destination for dining at any time of the day. The Sky Garden and open-air elements add a refreshing touch, providing a relaxing break from shopping and a pleasant contrast to fully enclosed malls. Despite being consistently busy, the mall is well managed, clean, and easy to navigate, with good facilities and professional service throughout. Overall, EmQuartier is still a destination for shopping, dining, meeting friends, or simply enjoying the lively city atmosphere. A well-balanced mall among Bangkok’s top shopping destinations.
One of the most interesting and well-designed shopping malls in Bangkok. EmQuartier is divided into several different blocks connected by walkways and terraces, which makes exploring the mall feel much more dynamic than a typical shopping center. The variety of stores is huge. You can find everything from luxury brands and international fashion to smaller boutiques, cafés, and restaurants. It’s the kind of place where you can easily spend a few hours just walking around and discovering new spots. One of the highlights is the garden area and outdoor terraces, which add a lot of character to the complex. The greenery and open spaces make it feel much more relaxed compared to most malls in the city. Overall, a beautifully designed shopping center with a massive variety of shops, good food options, and some very unique architectural details. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in Bangkok.
This mega mall is not only decked out with branded shopping items .Discover beautiful restaurants on the 6 th floor upwards, where one is surrounded by lush greenery of the Babylon hanging rain forest in the centre of the podium. Most of the high end outlets offer unique deco that is great for entertaining friends and family. So be prepared to pay more , as quality food n service is what you are paying for. Well go pamper yourself once in a blue moon, afterall you deserve it as have worked so hard. From gastro meals to yummy dessert, enjoy a lovely evening of Indulgence that is memorable with nature.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping
Arrive Early or Late
Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.
Be Cautious with Tailors
Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
Claim Your VAT Refund
Spend 2,000+ THB at a single store displaying 'VAT Refund for Tourists' signs, get a yellow form at the register, and claim 7% VAT back at the airport. It adds up fast on bigger purchases.
