Terminal 21 Asok
The gimmick works, which is the surprising part. Every floor takes a different city as its theme, so you get Tokyo, London, Paris, Istanbul and San Francisco stacked on top of each other, decor and signage carried right through, down to the washrooms that people genuinely go out of their way to photograph. Shopping-wise it's a broad mix, international labels alongside Thai brands, cosmetics, electronics, plus a good supermarket in the basement.
The real reason I'd send you here is the food court on the lower ground floor. Thai dishes start around 25 baht, the spread runs from street food to Western, and you can eat properly rather than just snack. The catch is seating. At weekend lunchtimes tables fill fast and get left dirty for longer than they should, so eat at 11 or after 2 if you can. Weekday mornings are the quietest stretch of the week. Worth knowing too that the money changers here are competitive, particularly the one by the ground floor driveway.

Reviews from Google
erminal 21 Asok is easily one of the most interesting shopping malls in Bangkok. The whole place is very spacious and each floor is themed around a different world city, which makes walking through the mall surprisingly fun. The highlight for me was definitely the food court — amazing variety of Thai food for incredibly cheap prices, with some dishes starting at around 25 baht. Great quality and perfect if you want to try local food without spending much. A fun place to explore, eat, and escape the Bangkok heat for a while. Highly recommended.
Top 10 must places in Bangkok Thailand. This shopping mall are beautifully decorated with Japanese, London, San Francisco , Istanbul themes. There are many nice restaurants, a large food court with delicious meals, plenty of stalls to sell snacks. A lot of local Thai brands & international brands in this multilevel shopping mall. There is a high quality supermarket in the basement. The money changer next to the busiest driveway on ground floor is very competitive.
Dined in at the food court on Level GL today at lunchtime. There are plenty of food choices available, which is great if you want variety all in one place. However, finding a table after getting our food was very difficult. Many tables were left dirty and were not cleaned promptly. We waited about 15 minutes before our food arrived and had to push aside leftover food and rubbish from previous customers just to sit down. Staff were around during this time but unfortunately did not pick up any rubbish or clean the tables. Even while we were eating, the leftover food and trays from previous customers were still there, which was quite disappointing. Overall, while the food options are good, the cleanliness and table maintenance really need improvement.

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.
