Shopping in Bangkok? Try Central Chidlom
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/30/08
I visit Bangkok annually and my first choice of hotel, although by no means exclusively, is in the Sukhumvit district, close to the mighty Central Chidlom store. I disagree with the reviewer that states the store is average and similar in many ways to London. Nonsense! I have lived in London for nearly 50 years and there are few stores of repute I haven't visited in that time.Central stands on its own, offering the widest possible selection of goods in most categories. I guess that the most compelling measure is Value-for-money. I agree you can buy cheaper. But all under one roof? The answer is never! I should also add that the quality of customer service is of the highest standard and is equal to the best in the Western world.
When you've done buying, drag yourself up to the Foodloft. The food is as good as some of the top restaurants but is affordable. The choice is excellent.
Long live Thailand!
