My son and I came upon Mega Plaza quite by chance. We had just finished eating at the Mala Panda restaurant (excellent Thai barbeque, by the way) and crossed the connecting footbridge to find ourselves at the entrance to this plaza. So we decided to drop in for a quick look. This turned out to be anything but quick, because Mega Plaza is an action figure and game buyers paradise! And this is floor upon floor upon floor. The collection of action figures is simply mind boggling, shop by shop by shop. Besides all sorts of action figures there are shops selling legacy but fully functional Game Boy units and cartridges (we saw both Color and Advance variants) and also Pokémon Cards and other legacy gaming paraphernalia. For my older son who was with me at the plaza, it was like stepping back in time! There also a number of shops selling very realistic looking BB guns and also shops selling state of the art game units such as the Nintendo Switch. Just when we thought these were all the type shops there were, we chanced upon a shop selling leather items! The belts were made from some of the best leather I've seen. The seller was firm on price following a basic discount, but most helpful when it came to fit. He made more than one adjustment on each of the two belts I bought, to ensure a proper fit not just for my waist but also for the loops in my trousers. There's bags and other really nice leather items selling there as well. Going by the quality of leather on the belts I bought, I'd say you can't go wrong here. I don't remember the name of the shop but if you are truly interested, do ask around. I think it's the only one there. Well, having stepped into Mega Plaza, I simply couldn't leave without an action figure, so I bought one for my younger son. Great place to spend an afternoon, browsing through action figures...
Read moreMega Plaza Saphan Lek is a hidden gem in Bangkok, especially for toy enthusiasts and collectors. Located near the bustling Chinatown, this shopping center is a haven for those looking for action figures, model kits, board games, and vintage toys. The mall spans multiple floors, each packed with small stores and kiosks offering a dizzying array of products, from anime figurines to comic book merchandise, making it a dream destination for fans of pop culture and collectors alike.
One of the main draws of Mega Plaza is its specialized shops. Whether you’re into Gundam model kits, Funko Pop figures, or even retro video games, you’ll find something that catches your eye. Some stores focus exclusively on certain brands or genres, so if you’re a serious collector, it’s worth taking your time to explore every corner. There are also repair shops for gaming consoles, and some stores carry hard-to-find items that you won’t easily find elsewhere in Bangkok.
While the focus is primarily on toys and collectibles, the plaza also offers electronics, gadgets, and accessories, particularly on the lower floors. Prices vary depending on what you’re looking for, but most items are quite affordable, and some shops are willing to negotiate.
Though Mega Plaza is a treasure trove for toy collectors, the shopping experience can be a bit overwhelming due to the crowded and narrow aisles, especially during weekends. The building itself has an older, somewhat worn-out feel, but this adds to its charm, making it feel like a relic of the past where you can discover hidden treasures.
Overall, Mega Plaza Saphan Lek is a must-visit for anyone interested in toys, gaming, or collectibles. It’s a unique shopping center in Bangkok that stands out from the typical malls and offers a nostalgic trip down memory lane for...
Read moreMega Plaza is a place that has toys. It is the biggest store filled with toys in Thailand. Most of the people who wants to buy some cards or toys or modal figures would come to megaplaza. You can find almost everything in this place. That's why me and my daughter always love to come here. Things at this place is pretty expensive and some toys are fake. So you need to look closely at the toys before buying them. Since all the toys are pretty expensive we usually look for the ones that are affordable for our budget. Me and my daughter usually buy Legos and mini blocks to go home and help each other figure out and built. It's pretty fun to make and build up. Legos are real expensive in Mega Plaza so you need to find the good quality ones and the price afordable ones. My daughter always beg for me to buy the expensive one cuz it's always the more better quality but I usually don't let her. If you have a son or a daughter or at least a nephew you can bring her or him here cuz they will love it here. There are also food in the top floor. I don't usually eat at the top floor my daughter and my husband went there before. There are even CD's and cameras and tools.They don't have just toys but they have lots of useful stuff there too. So if you want to shop for presents for your todler or you kid l recommend you to come to the Mega Plaza shop. Even your not a kid its completely fine to go there because even adults go there to shop for some cool video games to play with there...
