MBK Center, Shopping mall in Pathum Wan District, Bangkok, Thailand.
MBK Center is a shopping mall in Pathum Wan with eight floors housing approximately 2,000 shops, restaurants, and service outlets. The building contains a wide range of retail spaces offering goods from clothing and electronics to souvenirs and daily necessities.
The mall opened in 1985 as a major shopping center in Asia, named after the parents of developer Sirichai Bulakul. Its establishment marked a turning point in Bangkok's retail development during that era.
Ground-floor statues honor the family founders, while local vendors throughout the building sell traditional Thai crafts and souvenirs. This blend reflects the mall's connection to local artisans and everyday shopping habits.
The center sits directly next to National Stadium BTS station, making it easy to reach by public transport. Water transport access is also available through the nearby Hua Chang pier if you prefer traveling by boat.
The seventh floor once hosted a concert venue where international artists performed during the 1980s before becoming a multi-screen cinema complex. This transformation reflects how entertainment options in the mall evolved over the decades.
