Try to explore other shopping places.... like Central latpao, Central Chaeng Wattan, Future park.......Your mentioned places are affected directly or indirectly.

Is MBK affected or even shut down by the Red Shirts occupying the surrounding areas? TQ

When I was there last week. I heard from the local, close then I heard open. You might to make a trip there if the BTS is working and taxi driver willing to go there. Traffic will be chaotic around there.

I have not been to MBK for a very long time. I normally go Central latphao, Central chaeng wattana, future park, software park, all these more ulu shopping mall to shop, to avoid the crowd and tourists.

Ok bro, thanks for your inputs. For all the times that I've been to Bangkok, I've never heard of these malls. Tells you how much of a tourist I am

Anyway, my preferred mode of travel in such traffic congested cities are via rail or subway.

Guess I'll get busy with the net on the location of these recommended malls!

Cheers!

Mbk is prob the only mall in that area that's been operating for the last month. It was shut for a few days on and off but otherwise business as usual. Take the skytrain but take note some days the bts will cease operating early like 8pm due to the protest.things have been quiet now that the red shirts have accepted the road map to reconciliation but they are still in the area until they are sure its concrete. Have fun. Explore the malls further out if u have to.

If you are game to checkout the malls in the suburbs, may not be too acccessible by mrt or BTS (skytrain)

Go to Emporium on main Sukhumvit stretch (right at Prom Phom BTS station). Bit atas with branded stuff, but there's usual dept store stuff, supermarket, restaurants and revamped foodcourt and cinemas. Along the same stretch is Ekkamai (near BTS same name) Major but small shops with bowling alley and cinemas.

Try Central Bangna or Seacon at Srinakarin stretch. Suk to both places by cab range 110-130bt (allow 30mins journey).

Tourists may soon get to revisit the main downtown malls soon with a political settlement now in sight after last mon and reds to decide on their exit from rally sites

UDD to discuss rally ending date

PM vows to dissolve parliament in Sept

Should stay at the newer hotels along Soi 4.

If wanna stay away, but yet not too far, can try AG. Think quite a few bros here stayed before. Not bad, but slightly costlier than Citadines which I feel is ok (near to SC but somewhat also nearer to the reds.)

The waitress earns basic n lady drinks.

700bht for BF is really shooting up the roof. Can't imagine paying that much.
