从素坤逸 22 巷出发，认真逛商场不必跨城。EmSphere 就在 22 巷和 24 巷之间。Emporium 与 EmQuartier 把 EM District 这一片补齐。想换一套楼层格局，Terminal 21 是去 Asok 的那一站。
下雨不是取消的理由，而是该从室内开始的理由。
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 建在 BTS Phrom Phong 站上方，旁边就是 Benjasiri 公园。奢侈与大众品牌混在一起，有电影院，这一段里空调也最稳。若只有一个下午逛商场，从这里开始，楼层之间用公园歇一歇。
直达轻轨，不必下到素坤逸路面过马路。工作日上午更安静。同一天再去马路对面的 EmQuartier：换乘是空中连廊，不是出租车。
Good to know
- 直达 BTS Phrom Phong
- 公园就在旁边
- 只逛一个下午就从这里开始
EmQuartier
EmQuartier 与 Emporium 隔着素坤逸相望，楼层更开敞，咖啡和餐饮更强。适合没有购物清单、只想逛。傍晚热气下去后，露台更好用。
Helix 翼是 D'ARK 所在。空中连廊再往 EmSphere 走，所以一个较真的下午可以从 Phrom Phong 一路室内回到 22 巷附近。
Good to know
- 咖啡和露台
- 空中连廊通往 Emporium 和 EmSphere
- 适合闲逛，不适合赶清单
EmSphere 是 EM District 的第三座商场，夹在素坤逸 22 巷和 24 巷之间，也是这条巷子上离 Arawana 酒店最近的门。宜家、大面积美食层和娱乐，而不是 Emporium 那种更安静的奢侈闲逛。
空中连廊接到 Emporium 和 EmQuartier，全程不必下街。人已经在巷子上、不想先走到 Phrom Phong 站，就从这里开始。官网：emsphere.co.th。
Good to know
- 离 22 巷最近的商场
- 宜家和大美食层
- 空中连廊不下街
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 从 Phrom Phong 一站轻轨就到，或从 22 巷往 Asok 走一小段。机场主题楼层，美食广场热闹。来这里是为了多样和便宜晚饭，不是为了安静逛奢侈品。
周末人多。工作日上午偏晚是能用的窗口。EM District 已经逛完、想换一套楼层时，这才是该跳的那一站，不是第二座奢侈商场。
Good to know
- 距 Phrom Phong 一站轻轨
- 亮点是美食广场
- 去工作日，避开周末高峰
Where to stay
Arawana Regency Park Sukhumvit
EmSphere 是从 22 巷走出去的起点。Emporium 和 EmQuartier 补齐 EM District。想换楼层格局，Terminal 21 是去 Asok 的那一站。
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
怎么逛才不会热垮
下午热的时候商场连着逛，日落后再回巷子或公园；购物清单收窄，免得拎着袋子走六个小时。大的户外景点留给更凉快的早晨。
从 22 巷出发的半日实用走法：先 EmSphere，空中连廊到 Emporium 和 EmQuartier，Benjasiri 公园歇脚，Terminal 21 只在还有力气时再去。住一周就把这拆成两天。
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
- 下午商场，傍晚巷子
- 大采购日要拆开
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.
