On Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok, the department store that stretches along the BTS Skytrain is definitely the first choice for shopping.In Bangkok in 2015, not only did the department store battle on Sukhumvit Road fought fiercely, along the vertical MRT subway Ratchadaphisek Road (Ratchadaphisek Road), one after another market, night market and department store opened one after another. Those who love shopping in Bangkok, if they are not familiar with MRT, can pay more attention to this MRT in the future!
Why do you feel this way?Wendy and Anya, who love digging new attractions, reviewed the 2015 itinerary and found that the proportion of walking along the MRT has actually become quite high. It is really a personal experience of the rapid development of Rachadang Bisha Road.
Let’s talk about the night market and market on the MRT subway first.
Ratchada Train Night Market opened in 2015 at the Thai Cultural Center MRT Station. The popular Art Box Wenqing Market is also held along the MRT MRT almost all year, even the Lumpinee MRT station originally The Sanglun Night Market, which was closed, actually reopened at the Ratchadam Bisha MRT Station in the same year. Together with the original Hui Kuang Night Market, Silom Night Market and Chatuchak Market, it is really lively!
Let's talk about shopping malls
In the two MRT stations of Phra Lan 9 and King Hui Gong, there were big stores such as Big C and Tesco, which are suitable for life shopping. In fact, there are also department stores such as Esplanade and Central Plaza. Of course, there is also The Street Ratchada to be introduced this time.In addition, don’t forget that Terminal 21, which has been quite popular in recent years, is actually located on the MRT!I believe that in the future, we will see good places named after Ratchada more and more often.
Having said that, can I consider staying directly at the hotel on the MRT train next time?
The Street location and schedule
The Street Ratchada opened on December 2015, 12. It is located near the Thai Cultural Center Station. Take the MRT from Exit 2 of the subway station and walk about 4 meters to the north.In the surrounding area of the Thai Cultural Center Station, there are shopping places such as the Ratchada Night Market, Esplanade, Big C Extra, Cyber World, etc. A little bit further away is the previously introduced "Siam Niramit"If you want to arrange a one-day itinerary here, it's very simple.
▲ Good shopping places around The Street.
▲ Next to The Street is the Bic C Extra hypermarket.
▲ There is a large plaza in front of which part of it is temporarily used as a parking space, and it will be a good venue for large-scale outdoor events in the future.
▲ During Christmas in December 2015, of course there must be a large Christmas tree to help out!
▲▼ The raised space on the first floor is a good place to hold events, so that people on the second and third floors can have fun too!
The Street Floor Introduction
The Street is 5 stories high and 2 stories underground. It is advertised as the first 24-hour shopping mall in Bangkok. However, the current 24-hour business scope is the gourmet restaurant on the basement floor. It is stationed in chain restaurants such as Starbucks, Burger King, McDonald’s, and even medicine. Cosmetics, supermarkets, post offices, 7-11, etc., the shopping malls above the first floor, still maintain the custom of closing department stores at XNUMX o'clock in the evening.
In addition to the beauty product booth, the first floor is also where many indoor activities are held. The second floor is the fashion area, the third floor is the amusement area containing toys, massage, and telecommunications services. The fourth floor is the gourmet area, and the highest floor is called Bounce. The large playground of Free-Jumping Revolution, unfortunately, was not officially open at the time.However, from the perspective of the floor design of the entire mall, the target should be the local consumer population and young people.
▲Introduction to the characteristics of the booths on each floor of The Street.
▲ Many of the stalls in Happy Corner on the third floor have not yet settled in. At that time, I wanted to go to Let's Relax, but it hasn't opened yet. Now it has opened!
▲ In the case of unable to massage, I was actually attracted by the salesperson who sold the four-axis remote control aerial camera.
▲ Taking advantage of the crowds and stalls in the store, the clerk actively demonstrated the operation in the mall.

Street Food Food Court @ Fourth Floor
In addition to the 24-hour catering on the second basement floor, The Street has an affordable food court that is necessary for department stores. It is located on the fourth floor. It is called Street Food. It is not only the name of the mall, but also provides a variety of street food stalls. .There are quite a few stalls in the food court, and the dining space is spacious and bright. It adopts a very common way of storing value card consumption. After paying cash at the entrance, you can use the stored value card to provide the vendor with the card for consumption, and finally you can change it at the same counter Cash back with the same stored value card balance.
Conclusion
To be honest, compared to the large-scale shopping malls on Sukhumvit Road, The Street’s scale and number of stalls are still hard to beat. Perhaps it does not have the level of making a special pilgrimage, but the entire Thai Cultural Center business district has taken shape. There are also many interesting places to visit, and with the convenience of the Metro MRT, it is already possible to arrange a day trip to visit here. I suggest this to everyone.
