  • There's a new shopping mall in Bangkok! Emsphere Mall, opened up on Dec 1st, 2023. I know there are a ton of mega malls over the city of Bangkok, what makes this one different? Or is this another generic basic b**** mall with the same brands, outlets, blah blah blah. Come find out

    I was in Bangkok for the first time this past summer. I must say, the malls over there blow every single mall from America out of the water. The food courts alone are far superior to mainstream restaurants here.

      @kayflip2233 7 месяцев назад +10

      Yeah in general, the shopping, food courts and retail in Asia are way crazier than the Western world. Just because they get everything from every Western country, plus all of the big Japanese, Korean and Chinese brands, plus untouchable mom and pop type restaurants, plus amazing Asian food chains, plus all of the star Western chefs trying to cash in on big Asian pockets and the tourism in Asia. Whereas in the West, unless you are in NYC, London or Paris, you are primarily getting domestic brands. Half the stuff in Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok, Hong Kong, KL, Singapore etc you probably have never even seen before in the Western world.

      @@roymoxley2587 You're lucky to live in Southeast Asia, primarily because of the people. Pleasant, smiling people that are respectful and like to joke around and chat with basically zero violent crimes. Obviously it's a paradise with amazing food and so many other positives but when you can walk outside and don't have to worry about coming across idiots or people judging you etc, life is so much better.

    Currently in Bangkok, we are facing the issue of PM 2.5 smog, so it's necessary to wear a mask when going outside to protect against the fine dust particles. Otherwise, there is a risk of lung cancer. I've noticed many tourists in Bangkok walking around outdoors without wearing masks, especially children. I am concerned about this.

Maybe they do and I need educating but I found many items expensive for someone that lives in London !
