Don't expect any bargains here, but then again all they sell are the genuine stuff. This place is very high end and you can expect to see many name brands including Burberry, Prada and the other well liked. One thing about this is they have a lot of unique sold in Asia only brand name not found elsewhere, but you do pay for it. You can expect to pay close to $50 for a UA shirt, and they have brand name shoes I never heard of that sell for over $200.
There's also a HUGE gourmet market where you can get exotic foods and groceries. After shopping, you can leave your groceries there and walk elsewhere. They have a security guard who will put cover over your shopping cart, pad-lock it and give you the key.
This place is huge and has something for everyone. There's a nice gourmet food court that has something for everyone, from chips to Hokkaido milk tea, to the well known Starbucks to some unique ice cream designs from Haagan Daas. As expected the seafood are on the pricey side. You can expect to pay close to $15.00 for 6 fresh oysters. As you walk further in, you hit the actual "Food Court" The concept is pretty cool; when you walk in you're given a card. As you buy stuff from the different food stall you give them your card and they'll scan it. When you're done and leaving, you checkout by giving the card to the cashier and pay them. This keeps the money out of the hands of the stall making it more sanitary.
On the very top floor, is their state of the art Theater. It's a must try experience. They have three different seating plan (note that its not Southwest so you have to pick your seat). The most expensive is their First Class seat ($700 or $800 BHT depending if it's a weekend or holiday). With that you get a full Lazy-Boy type recliner, push button butler service and before the movie starts you get to access to an exclusive lounge with drinks and food. The next one down is their Executive seat (sold in pairs only) or, think of it as a lovers recliner. Their concession stand is OK, not as elaborate as some of US Regal Cinemas. You get the old fashion counter with staff getting everything for you. They have three different popcorn flavor but it comes is a decent size bag (not the big tubs you're...

The shopping options here are impressive. Emporium houses a wide range of high-end international brands, boutique stores, and local Thai designers, catering to diverse tastes and preferences.

The views of Benchasiri Park from the dining areas add a relaxing touch to your meal.
What I really appreciated about Emporium is how well-maintained and clean it is, giving it a premium feel. The staff is friendly and helpful, always available to assist with directions or inquiries. Plus, the connected Emporium Suites and the adjoining EmQuartier mall offer even more options for shopping and entertainment, creating a comprehensive shopping district.
The only minor downside is that parking can get crowded on weekends, so using public transport is highly recommended. Overall, Emporium Shopping Centre is a must-visit destination for anyone in Bangkok. It offers a blend of luxury, convenience, and variety, making it one of the best shopping centers...
Read moreAbsolutely appalling behavior from Emporium. For months now, they’ve been capturing stray cats from the parking lot and dumping them in various communities, markets, and temples — despite clear communication from animal rescue groups that these cats have already been sterilized and that homes were being sought for them. The management has completely ignored these agreements and opted for cruel and unethical methods instead.
Reports indicate that they’ve been using nets, traps, and even small animal cages to catch the cats, terrifying them in the process. Witnesses have even said some staff laughed about it and suggested poisoning the cats if they couldn’t catch them — which is beyond sickening and illegal under animal protection laws.
On top of that, Emporium has banned feeding the cats, leaving them starving and desperate. Security guards have been instructed to harass and threaten anyone who tries to help the cats, including paying customers. There are even claims that staff have blocked off hiding places and locked rooms to trap the cats without food or water.
Emporium’s handling of this situation is disgraceful and inhumane. As a high-end mall, they should have the resources and social responsibility to work with animal rescue groups and find a humane solution. Instead, they’ve resorted to cruelty, intimidation, and outright disregard for animal welfare. Absolutely shameful behavior — avoid this place...
