The Ratchaprasong district is by far the most vibrant shopping and lifestyle highlight of Bangkok. It can be explored with ease with the pedestrian-friendly skywalk that leads to several shopping malls such as Siam Paragon, Siam Square, MBK, Gaysorn, and the largest mall in Southeast Asia, Central World Plaza. With five-star hotels, fine dining and a staggering selection of retail therapy packed into one square mile, visitors to Ratchaprasong are sure to discover, experience and enjoy some of Bangkok's best offerings.

Getting there: Get off at Siam or Chit Lom stations and straight into the skywalk that connects the two.
