Esplanade Ratchadaphisek is a solid all-in-one spot for shopping, dining, and entertainment, but be warned—your parking fee might end up costing more than your meal 💸🚗. The mall has a good mix of restaurants, cafes, and retail stores, plus a cinema, fitness center, and even an ice-skating rink ⛸️🎬, making it a popular hangout for both locals and tourists.
The dining options range from casual Thai street food-style bites to trendy cafés serving up IG-worthy drinks and desserts 🍜🍰. The Ratchada Train Night Market is just behind the mall, making it the perfect pre-game spot before diving into the street food madness. The cinema is a good place to catch the latest blockbuster, and for those who like a bit of action, the bowling alley 🎳 is a fun way to kill time.

But I feel like this place is unique and good to visit. I like export shops and OTOP shop there. Thanks...
Read moreThis is a fantastic shopping center, with literally everything. All the restaurants are top notch, and I really like the movie theater and bowling. They have a cool bar on the outside with awesome local bands and open late. It's also right in front of The One night market, which was formerly the Train night market Ratchada.
The only drawback to this place is they have a bunch of tuk tuk drivers parked on the street and standing on the sidewalk, blocking people, so it's really tough to walk into this mall without...
