With over 2000 independent stores dealing in men’s women’s and children’s clothing, as well as a variety of accessories and luggage, selling retail as well as wholesale, the Platinum department store is a shopper’s paradise. Shopping here is like shopping at the local market but you get to escape the heat of the city. Clothes here are very cheap, with the selection of stores being so immense that you could visit for days and not make it through the whole building. If you have a child with you, the 5th floor in the mall is stocked with a large amount of stores dealing only in kids clothes and accessories. There are also various street food stalls just outside this mall, and a food court inside, perfect for grabbing something to eat and taking a break. If clothes do not interest you, Pantip plaza is a mall dedicated only to electronics and is just a 5 minute walk away.
The more you buy at a store, the cheaper the prices of all the goods you buy. Bargaining here is also acceptable and expected. Platinum is open from 9am to 8pm, and it is best to get there early when it is less crowded, perhaps on a weekday. The weekends are much busier, as this is a local favorite as well as a tourist hot spot.
Platinum is literally across the road from our hotel, and there are designated crossing zones a few minutes away.
