About

centralwOrld fills a long block of Rama I Road at Ratchaprasong, the shopping crossroads east of Siam, and describes itself as Bangkok's largest lifestyle destination. It is a mixed-use complex rather than a single mall: the shopping center, the centralwOrld Offices tower, and the 55-storey Centara Grand & Bangkok Convention Centre at CentralWorld all share the site, run by Central Pattana.

It suits visitors who want a big, practical mall close to the Sukhumvit Line hotels, and anyone who plans to cover Siam and Ratchaprasong on foot in one day. Its tourist services are more developed than most: the mall runs a tourist information desk, currency exchange counters, free Wi-Fi for foreign visitors and delivery of purchases to your hotel.

How the complex is laid out

Directions inside are given by floor and named zone, such as Dazzle, Groove, Eden, Beacon, Atrium, Balcony and Central Court, so note the zone as well as the floor when you arrange to meet. Valet parking starts in the Groove zone on Floor 1. For longer distances inside, the mall's Car Assistant service ferries shoppers between shops and restaurants.

Services for visitors

Tourist Information sits on Floor 1 in the Hug Thai zone, where you can also arrange home and hotel delivery and an airport limousine. SuperRich and Bangkok Bank run exchange counters on Floor 1 in the Eden zone, with another SuperRich counter on Floor 3. There is a prayer room on Floor 1 in Eden and a family lounge for nursing and changing on Floor 6 in the Atrium zone.

Getting there

The BTS is the easy way in. On the Sukhumvit Line, use Chit Lom Exit 1 or Siam Exit 4; Silom Line riders also use Siam Exit 4. From the MRT, change to the BTS Sukhumvit Line at Sukhumvit Station. A shuttle links the mall with Centara Grand, Zen, Central Chidlom and Central Embassy, and taxis wait on Floor 1 at the Dazzle and Groove zones.

Dining and drinks in the complex

Somboon Seafood, the fried curry crab specialist founded in 1969, runs one of its eight Bangkok branches on Level 6 of centralwOrld.

Red Sky is the bar and restaurant of Centara Grand at CentralWorld, the hotel that shares the complex.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CentralWorld the biggest mall in Bangkok?
centralwOrld bills itself as Bangkok's largest lifestyle shopping destination: its operator states 830,000 square metres of retail floor area at the Ratchaprasong intersection, which puts it among the largest malls in Thailand. "Biggest" rankings vary with what is measured (total complex area vs shop floor area), so treat the title as the mall's own claim rather than a settled record.
What is Central World Bangkok famous for?
For its scale in the middle of Ratchaprasong: hundreds of shops, one of Bangkok's deepest dining line-ups, and big public events on its forecourt, including the city's best-known New Year countdown. The operator calls it "the wOrld's favorite festive and shopping destination."
What are some good things to buy at Central World Bangkok?
Fashion is the core: local labels, high-street brands and high-end names in one building, plus health and beauty, electronics and gadgets, and sports equipment; the official About page lists beauty salons, banks, mobile stores and a supermarket alongside. For a specific brand, check the mall's official shop directory before you go.
