Mega Plaza Saphan Lek
If you collect anything with a plastic face and a box, clear an afternoon for this place. It's a multi-floor shopping centre on Maha Chai Road in Phra Nakhon given over almost entirely to toys and collectibles: Hot Toys, Bearbricks, Pop Mart, anime figures, model kits, Hot Wheels, building blocks both official and very much not, plus cameras and lenses, watches, replica guns and antique video games. New and second-hand sit side by side, which is what makes it worth the trip. One reviewer rated it above Nakano Broadway in Tokyo, mainly for the off-brand block sets you won't see in Japan.
Come with a specific hunt in mind or come with none at all, but don't come expecting a normal mall. The shops are small, densely packed and run by people who actually know their stock, so it pays to ask rather than just browse. There are little cafés and restaurants on the ground floor and a food centre at the top when your legs give out. Kids do fine here, though the prices on the serious collector pieces are aimed squarely at adults.

Reviews from Google
If you’re into action figures, anime, Hot Wheels, or literally anything from the world of cartoons and cinema, Mega Plaza Saphan Lek is your place. It’s like walking into every childhood fantasy at once. I picked up a bunch of Hot Wheels, some cool GTX car models, and even Harry Potter collectibles. You’ll find stuff here that’s hard to spot anywhere else like full collections, rare editions, and shelves packed with nostalgia. There are also a few small cafés inside, so you can take a break between shopping. It’s fun, chaotic in a good way, and a dreamland for kids and collectors alike.

A shopping mall full of toys, suitable for kids of all ages. There are toys for children, Pop Mart toys, antique toys (ET, Gremlins etc ), action figures and more. There are also cameras, antique video games, watches, varieties of realistic guns etc. For those who need a break from shopping, there are also small restaurants and cafes (on the ground floor) to rest our feet and a Mega Food Center at the top level.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping
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.
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.
