Bangkok, Thailand, is a world-renowned tourist destination, attracting thousands of visitors daily. Chinatown is a famous commercial and tourist area in Bangkok with a history spanning over a century. This guide introduces a one-day itinerary to explore a landmark shopping district in Chinatown. All attractions are free to visit and take photos 📸, with no entrance fees required.
Itinerary: Start by taking the MRT to Samyan MRT สามย่าน station. The first stop is Samyan Mitrtown สามย่าน มิตรทาวน์. Samyan Mitrtown is a mixed-use complex featuring restaurants, shops, offices, hotels, and residential apartments, covering a total area of 222,000 square meters on the original 14-acre site of the 'Samyan Market.' It opened on September 20, 2019.
- The mall houses many famous restaurants, especially on the basement level (B1), which has a tunnel connecting to 'Sam Yan MRT Station.'
- The 'Samyan Mitr Town Mall' spans six floors, looking new, spacious, and clean, making it convenient for shopping.
- The South Tower is a 31-story office building.
- The North Tower is a 33-story hotel and residential apartment building.
- The parking lot can accommodate over 1,500 cars.
On the 5th floor rooftop, there is a European-style sky garden with many seating areas. Watching the sunset and cityscape from the benches in the evening is fantastic, with views of the Mahanakhon and Lotus Tower in the distance. It's definitely a great spot for taking photos 📸.
After exploring Samyan Mitrtown, you can head to the nearby Chamchuri Square จามจุรีสแควร์. It has many food restaurants, and the mall is well air-conditioned, making it a great place to dine and rest. You can easily spend the whole day eating, drinking, and having fun in these two places.
