सुखुमवित 22 से गंभीर खरीदारी के लिए शहर पार जाने की ज़रूरत नहीं। EmSphere सोई 22 और 24 के बीच है। Emporium और EmQuartier EM District को पूरा करते हैं। अलग फ़्लोर प्लान चाहिए तो Terminal 21 Asok की एक स्टेशन वाली hop है।
बारिश दिन रद्द करने की वजह नहीं, अंदर से शुरू करने की वजह है।
The short version
- EmSphere is the closest door from Soi 22, and Emporium and EmQuartier complete the Em District cluster.
- Terminal 21 Asok is one BTS stop away when you want a different floor plan and cheaper food.
- K-Village on Soi 26 is an open-air dinner rather than a shopping trip. Go in the evening.
- Gateway Ekamai and Donki Mall are Japanese food halls with malls attached, two and three stops east.
- The Don Don Donki supermarket at Donki Mall runs around the clock.
- Use the malls for the hottest hours and save the sois and parks for after sunset.
Before you book
Nine Arawana addresses across Bangkok and Pattaya. Reserve through us and the SMART rate applies automatically, with no booking fees and free cancellation on most rates.
Emporium
Emporium BTS Phrom Phong के ऊपर बैठा है, बगल में Benjasiri पार्क। लग्ज़री और हाई-स्ट्रीट साथ, सिनेमा, और इस पट्टी पर सबसे भरोसेमंद एयर-कंडीशनिंग। अगर एक ही दोपहर मॉल के लिए है, यहीं से शुरू करें और मंज़िलों के बीच पार्क को ब्रेक बनाएँ।
सीधी BTS पहुँच का मतलब सुखुमवित को सड़क पर पार नहीं करना। सप्ताह के दिन सुबह शांत रहती है। उसी दिन सड़क पार EmQuartier जोड़ें: ट्रांसफ़र स्काईवॉक है, टैक्सी नहीं।
Good to know
- सीधी BTS Phrom Phong पहुँच
- बगल में पार्क
- एक मॉल दोपहर यहीं से शुरू करें
EmQuartier
EmQuartier सुखुमवित के आर-पार Emporium के सामने है, ज़्यादा खुली मंज़िलें और मज़बूत कैफ़े-डाइनिंग। सख़्त लिस्ट के बिना घूमने के लिए अच्छा। शाम को गर्मी उतरे तो टेरेस काम आते हैं।
Helix विंग में D'ARK है। स्काईवॉक फिर EmSphere की तरफ़ जाता है, इसलिए एक ज़िद्दी दोपहर Phrom Phong से सोई 22 तक अंदर ही रह सकती है।
Good to know
- कैफ़े और टेरेस
- Emporium और EmSphere तक स्काईवॉक
- लिस्ट से ज़्यादा घूमने के लिए
EmSphere EM District का तीसरा मॉल है, सुखुमवित 22 और 24 के बीच, और सोई पर Arawana होटलों का सबसे क़रीब दरवाज़ा। IKEA, बड़ा फ़ूड फ़्लोर, मनोरंजन: Emporium वाली शांत लग्ज़री घूम नहीं।
स्काईवॉक इसे Emporium और EmQuartier से जोड़ते हैं, सड़क पर उतरना नहीं पड़ता। अगर आप पहले से सोई पर हैं और Phrom Phong स्टेशन की सैर नहीं चाहते, यहीं से शुरू करें। आधिकारिक साइट: emsphere.co.th।
Good to know
- सोई 22 से सबसे क़रीब मॉल
- IKEA और बड़ा फ़ूड फ़्लोर
- स्काईवॉक सड़क से ऊपर
K-Village
K-Village is a community mall rather than a shopping one, and it is worth being clear about that before you walk down there. Two low open-air storeys on Sukhumvit 26, no department store, no luxury floor. What it has is restaurants with outdoor tables, which the EM District does not.
It is the closest thing to a neighbourhood evening within reach of Soi 22: dinner outdoors, a dog park, a playground, and none of the mall-atrium acoustics. Pet-friendly in the real sense, with a fenced run rather than a sign saying dogs are welcome.
The catch is the walk. It sits well down Sukhumvit 26, not up at the main road, so it is a short ride rather than a stroll from the soi. Open daily 10:00 to 22:00, and it is a better dinner than a better shop.
Good to know
- Community mall, not a shopping mall
- Open-air dining, dog park, playground
- Down Sukhumvit 26, so ride rather than walk
- Daily 10:00 to 22:00
Terminal 21 Asok
Terminal 21 Asok Phrom Phong से एक BTS स्टेशन है, या सोई 22 से Asok की तरफ़ थोड़ी पैदल। एयरपोर्ट थीम वाली मंज़िलें, व्यस्त फ़ूड कोर्ट। विविधता और सस्ता डिनर, शांत लग्ज़री ब्राउज़ नहीं।
सप्ताहांत भीड़भाड़। कामकाजी दिन की देर सुबह इस्तेमाल लायक खिड़की है। EM District हो चुका हो और अलग फ़्लोर प्लान चाहिए, तब यह hop सही है, दूसरा लग्ज़री मॉल नहीं।
Good to know
- Phrom Phong से एक BTS स्टेशन
- फ़ूड कोर्ट मुख्य बात
- सप्ताह के दिन जाएँ, सप्ताहांत पीक नहीं
Where to stay
Arawana Regency Park Sukhumvit
EmSphere सोई 22 से पैदल शुरुआत है। Emporium और EmQuartier EM District पूरा करते हैं। अलग फ़्लोर प्लान हो तो Terminal 21 Asok की hop है।
Gateway Ekamai
Two BTS stops east of Phrom Phong, and the skywalk drops you straight in from Ekkamai exit 4 without touching the street. Gateway is Japanese-themed and unembarrassed about it: a torii gate in the atrium, a floor given over almost entirely to Japanese chains, and a MaxValu downstairs for the snacks people actually come back with.
It is a food and errands mall, not a fashion one. Fifty-odd restaurants, a supermarket, a rooftop playground for anyone travelling with children, and a scale you can finish in an hour rather than a day. If EmQuartier is where you browse, this is where you eat and leave.
The other reason to know it is underneath: the Eastern Bus Terminal at Ekkamai is next door, and that is where the Pattaya coaches go from. A mall attached to your departure point is a genuinely useful thing on the morning you leave. Open daily 10:00 to 22:00.
Good to know
- Skywalk from BTS Ekkamai exit 4
- Japanese dining floor and MaxValu
- Eastern Bus Terminal next door for Pattaya
- An hour, not an afternoon
Donki Mall Thonglor
Five storeys on Sukhumvit 63, anchored by a Don Don Donki that does not close. The supermarket runs 24 hours across the bottom two floors, which makes it the answer to a question the EM District cannot help with: where to go at two in the morning.
Imported Japanese groceries are the draw, along with the fresh counters, the prepared food, and a fair amount of the cosmetics and oddities the Don Quijote stores are known for. Prices on imports sit above what you would pay in Japan. People come anyway.
Access is the weak point. It is about a kilometre up the soi from BTS Thong Lo, which is not a walk anyone enjoys in the afternoon, so take the mall shuttle or a motorbike taxi. The rest of the building keeps normal hours even though the supermarket does not.
Good to know
- Don Don Donki open 24 hours
- Imported Japanese groceries and fresh counters
- About 1km up the soi from BTS Thong Lo
- Shuttle or motorbike taxi, not a walk
पिघले बिना खरीदारी कैसे करें
दोपहर की गर्मी में मॉल hop करें, सूरज ढले सोई या पार्क, एक छोटी ख़रीद लिस्ट ताकि छह घंटे बैग न ढोना पड़े। बड़ी आउटडोर साइटें ठंडी सुबह के लिए छोड़ दें।
सोई 22 से व्यावहारिक आधा दिन: पहले EmSphere, स्काईवॉक से Emporium और EmQuartier, Benjasiri पार्क रीसेट, Terminal 21 तभी जब टाँगें बाकी हों। हफ़्ते भर ठहर रहे हों तो इसे दो दिनों में बाँटें।
The eastward ones are a separate outing, not an extension of that one. Gateway and Donki are a Japanese food afternoon two and three stops along the line, and K-Village is an evening rather than a day. Do not try to bolt either onto the EM District walk.
Good to know
- दोपहर मॉल, शाम सोई
- बड़े शॉपिंग दिन बाँटें
Planning your visit
- Shop in the heat, walk in the cool
- The malls exist for the hours between about eleven and four, when being outside in Bangkok is unpleasant. Save the outdoor places like K-Village and the residential sois for after the sun goes down.
- Use the skywalks
- The Em District malls connect to each other and to BTS Phrom Phong above street level, and Gateway Ekamai links directly to Ekkamai station. You can cover a lot of ground without crossing a road or getting rained on.
- Carry one focused list
- The mistake is buying early and then carrying bags for five hours in the heat. Decide what you actually need, buy it last, and use the earlier part of the day for looking rather than acquiring.
- Claim your VAT refund properly
- If you are eligible as a visitor, ask for the refund paperwork at the point of purchase rather than afterwards, keep the receipts together, and leave time at the airport, because the counter queue is longer than you expect.
- Go on a weekday if you can
- Bangkok malls are considerably busier at weekends, when the whole city treats them as air-conditioned public space. A Tuesday afternoon in the same mall is a different and much better experience.
The genuine advantage of Sukhumvit 22 is that serious shopping is a walk rather than an expedition: EmSphere is the nearest door, the rest of the Em District follows, and everything else on this list is one or two BTS stops away. Use the malls for the heat, the community malls and sois for the evening, and do not spend the afternoon carrying bags you bought at eleven. For the rest of the neighbourhood, 11 things to do near Sukhumvit 22 is the walking list, and Phrom Phong: the Em District and the sois behind it covers what sits behind the malls.
