Platinum fashion mall is the largest wholesale mall in Thailand. It attracts not just tourists but also locals especially young teenagers.


How to go Platinum mall?

Platinum fashion mall is located in the middle of Pratunam. The nearest BTS is probably Chidlom, 1 km distance, took me about 20 mins.

If you are looking for one stop shopping for cheap clothes, Platinum mall is the place you should visit. It is filled with many small shops selling mostly women clothing and accessories. Guys clothing only available at zone 1 & zone 2 4th floor.


How to shop in Platinum mall? 

Most of the time, shop owner will tell you 2 different price, 1 piece xxx Baht and wholesale xxx Baht. Wholesale price is the price when you buy 2 or more pieces from the same shop and that will save you about 20% lower per piece (in general). Most of the time mix and match different design is allowed in the same shop.

Trying is almost not possible in most shops, not even after you have made your payment. If the size doesn't fit you, you can always go back and exchange but no refund. There is fitting room in zone 1 & zone 2 ladies toilet.


Every shop sell different thing, they are all unique each shop. If you see something nice, don't hesitate and think that you can find it somewhere or you may not find it again.

Some shops accept credit card but 3% admin charge applies. It's best to pay by cash. If you don't feel like carrying too much Thai Baht, you can always exchange your home country currency at money changer outside of Platinum mall. There are at least 3 money changers (open on Sunday too) outside this mall.

How much time did I spend in this mall?

I spent 1 and half day in this mall and yet I did not really visit every single shop. I will come back again. Haha.

There is a food court, Thai restaurant Yum Saap and souvenir shop at zone 1 & 2 6th floor.


Fried tofu


Pig skin salad


Tom yum soup
 
Platinum mall opens every day from 9am to 8pm, however most shops open after 10am or 11am and most of them close at 6:30pm. Wear comfortable and try to get there early to avoid afternoon crowd. This mall will packed with students in the afternoon.

The walkway outside of Platinum transform into a shopping street after 7pm. It worth a visit. I bought 3 bottles of aroma oil and a pair of sandal from there.




My loot for the entire trip


Naturelle contact lens was pretty good buy in Bangkok. I got it at $45 per box ($60 in Singapore).
