The Market Bangkok
Come here for the breathing room. Sitting on Thanon Ratchadamri directly opposite CentralWorld, with Big C right beside it, this is the one mall in the Ratchaprasong crush where you can walk at your own pace and actually find a seat. Reviewers keep saying the same thing: spacious, quiet, not busy. Depending on what you want from a shopping day, that's either the appeal or the problem.
It's a newer development and it still hasn't filled every unit, and parts of it have been under renovation in recent periods. So don't come with a specific shop in mind unless you know it's trading. Plenty of people do exactly that, mind you, mostly for the House of Little Bunny outlet, which reviewers rate for stock and bag choice. The food side is the more dependable draw: around eleven eateries and restaurants, familiar names among them including Starbucks, KFC and McDonald's, with After You for dessert downstairs.

Reviews from Google
If you want to purchase House of Little Bunny this is the mall you should go to. They have a lot of stocks, and variety of bags you can choose to. I think this is their pop-up store? They have warehouse/ actual physical store but it is a bit far from the centre. The Market is just across the central world 10-15 minutes walks. + Big C is right beside you can have your groceries/ pasalubong as well after your shopping hehe. We did not roam around this mall since out only agenda is the HOLB. I hope this will help.
This is a relatively new shopping mall but the mall does not seem to have it's full complement of tenants. Some shop space is still vacant during my visit on Feb 25. A positive point is that it's not as crowded as the other mall and a good place to have a rest and get a drink. It's a nice place at a good location, hopefully it does better in future.
The mall was currently undergoing renovation the time i passed by. The location of the mall was actually very good as it is situated in an area with other malls. The mall is easily accessed via a foot bridge and elevated walkway if you go by foot. It is also easy to take public transport to this mall. Looking forward to visiting the mall again once it reopens.

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.
