Can't believe it was already 36 years ago when I walked MBK mall the first time when it was newly opened and I was just a boy. MBK changed a lot through years.
It seems like I've walking in front of you in any places that you had been visited. but...indeed, I'm just in my room sitting and watching your amazing videos without movement and without payment,thank you so very much to you guys that guiding me to everywhere and many places that I really wants to visit.
Love it!! I somehow missed that they were even renovating MBK! Can't wait to see it in person! I love all the maintenance and renos and upgrades Thailand is making while everyone is away. Smarter than some of the dummies here in the west; waited til everything was opened back up and busy again... 🙄🙄🙄🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ Well done Amazing Thailand! 🙏🏼🇹🇭
Great content. Watching your videos to kind of dream myself away. Been traveling to Thailand for the last 20 years though this pandemic has made it impossible at the moment. I can't wait until tourists are coming back to Thailand, then I will definitely be one of them. Keep up the good work mate.
I was here nearly 20 years back. That time it was packed with tourists. Maybe due to pandamic less crowd here .good old memories.thankyou for the updates.looking forward to watch more
Never thought I would see MBK like this. Before it was hard for the sellers as there were so many shops and stalls selling the same thing so you could get a deal on what you wanted like a phone or electronics now it must be so tough for them trying to make a living now. The update of the mall looks good can’t wait until next year when I get to go back 🤞🤞🤞. Great vlog
I have been there 15 years ago to buy my cellphones on my 2nd time to BKK, it was a NEC phone. And i was stayed at Twin Towers Hotel, on Ron Meung street !
As usual I appreciate you doing these excellent videos of the shopping malls in Bangkok , I miss my home away from home hopefully it will be back to normal with no restrictions in late 2022
MBK was THE spot for foreign tourists to buy their souvenirs and other stuffs. So painful to learn about Tokyu Department Store not there any more. Great to see that there are 2 new halal restaurants namely The Beef Master and Ali's Indian and Thai to try out when Bangkok finally reopens.. Loved eating at the food court before the pandemic, the halal kao mok gai and noodle with soup were affordable and nice.
Nice to see the MBK, but one of the reasons it always has been my favorite mall in BKK, is because it did not look like all the other ones. Not sure if am going to like this new modern version. I hope my favorite t-shirt shop is still there. Bedankt voor de video.
Thanks for taking us to MBK. It’s been over a year that I hadn’t been there. The banking section on the 4th floor has been there for several years -not new. Daiso shop also. Anyway, as expected, most of the shops were gone as they are catered to tourists than locals.
Ohh, ich erkenne das MBK ja gar nicht wieder! Es sieht immer mehr aus, wie ein gewöhnliches Shopping Center. Ob das die richtige Strategie ist, wo doch in unmittelbarer Nähe das Siam Center, das Siam Discovery und das Siam Paragon sind. Aber das Center Management des MBK hat sich sicher etwas dabei gedacht, weg vom Schmuddel Image zu kommen. Trading-up ist angesagt! Vielen Dank für das interessante Video 👍🏻☺️🙏🏻🙏🏻!
Thanks for sharing. Hopefully I'll be back in Bangkok soon. I missed being there. I was from the Old Bangkok area. If you are in Old Bangkok area in the evening time, around Dinso Road, please stop by Mynd Rooftop Cafe after 4pm for the view of Golden Mountain.
My first time to mbk was in 2013 and the last in 2018. So much has changed from each time. Looks much better. I hope we get a chance to come to Thailand again on the more near future. We have family in the Udon thani area that we miss so much. We will probably spend some time in Bangkok too once again when we are able. Too many restrictions to go as of now and no vaccine yet for our 9yr old. Hoping for that soon
Missing all everything in thailand Just waiting for . . .MBK is good Shopping Mall look so quite and Am just praying 🙏 for thailand will Back to normality and be. Back. There Thank for nice video. !
All your posts on Bkk are quite informative. I've been here for 3 years and there are even places nearby that I only come to know from your video. Also the video quality is really nice. What camera do you use and video setting?
Thank you for another great video of yours! Quick question please if I may -- do you know what mobil App do Thai people use to commute different train stations in Bangkok? thanks.
Compared to the last view you gave us of MBK, it looks pretty much back to (be ready for) business. Now, bring back a few more shoppers, I guess. But not too many!
Love the walk around videos, often have them on TV and just chill out dreaming of returning there for a vacation. … but, I have seen many MBK videos and would love to know if the T-Shirt shop ‘Tee Design Store’ is still open - do you recall seeing them? They sell these fantastic premium t-shirts; cool & long lasting. Take care man 🙏😎👍🏻
MBK - The place where I got finally T-Shirts in my size :D The MBK has also a new sign on their mall. The learning hub is interesting. Last time I was in Bangkok I saw many students sitting in the malls and making their homework.
MBK was my go-to place to play Japanese arcade games, and I'm a bit shocked to see the arcade cabinets not being where they used to be. I hope that they only have been moved somewhere else.
Big change since we were there in November 2019..by the way that's not Siam Square 1 at the beginning lol..it's the Siam Discovery !! Love your videos.. Paul from Cleethorpes UK :)Plus is the Canon Camera Centre still there on the old Camera floor along with Big camera etc ?
In every video where you are on the skywalk with the umbrellas between MBK and Siam Discovery there is a very high peep sound. You hear it too? And you know what it is?
@@globaltravelmate It's a constant peep. The closer you get to those umbrellas the louder it sounds. When you leave the roundabout skywalk to the skywalk towards the BTS I don't hear it anymore.
@@globaltravelmate I REALLY miss the old Pantip. Me and a friend entered and there were crazy remote control cars that would stop and do a Transformer thing then flop around and re car and go on...helicopter flying around...I got some really good laptop cover pictures from a place there and have never found anything like them since. You know the big sticker on the laptop lid for looks and some protection. Had a Hanuman on my Acer for a few years. Granted as you went up each floor it got to be the same thing over and over. There was no need to go to the 4th floor for sure.
Sadly, not the same MBK I remember; don't think I'll be going back. Gone is the character and charm it once had. I mean it wasn't a glamourous place to shop at, but that was the point of going there. If you wanted high-end, you'd go to Emporium, Central Chitlom, Paragon etc. MBK was just MBK. They've stripped it of its charm and sterilized it into something it was never meant to be.
they need to lift the Quarantine rule. Not a lot people who can afford to pay 1200 $ to stay in a hotel + another 1200 $ for holliday when you are free to leave the hotel.
Hi Thom. Panthip Plaza has been renovated and does not look at all like the old mall anymore. I visited Future Park about 6 months ago and made a video. I will add the links. Fture park : ruclips.net/video/r5fRKqHpPjU/видео.html Panthip: ruclips.net/video/6E8UqOFOzYk/видео.html
@@khunyindee no problem Thom. I will just sent you the link of Fortune Town. Haha, now I realize that I have been busy the past year ;-) ruclips.net/video/6uJgVfTO4O0/видео.html
It kind of gives me the creeps. I lost my 3 year old son there in 2018, for 30 minutes. But we were able to find him since he never left the 6th floor. The security staff couldn't speak English, so they were no help to us. Thank God nobody kidnapped him.
they dropped a gentrification bomb on MBK? omg...where will normal Thai's shop now? I miss the big ol blue bug eye with vibrant green MBK lettering. Those huge monitors advertising are taking over!
Can't believe it was already 36 years ago when I walked MBK mall the first time when it was newly opened and I was just a boy. MBK changed a lot through years.

It's sunny and the walk looks good. It is a large and very beautiful mall. Nice video Thank you for sharing
Oh wow, those changes. Thanks for sharing, again!
Nyccc sharing my friend ✌
Wow, very nice walk in Mahboonkrong center
So nice to see MBK again. But it is strange not to have tons of people inside it. Txs for the update

Wow….really miss MBK…can’t wait to return and see the changes…..haven’t been in almost 3yrs now
They have talented architects and creative urban planners in Thailand.
Thank you for visiting here
As usual I appreciate you doing these excellent videos of the shopping malls in Bangkok , I miss my home away from home hopefully it will be back to normal with no restrictions in late 2022
It's good to see that shops are open and people get to work again. Thanks for the update. ❤️🇹🇭❤️🇹🇭❤️🇹🇭

I will miss the old MBK charm dearly. The food hall had lots more tables than now, but always hard to find spare one during peak hours.
I been to MBK center bangkok in 2019 before conv.19 lockdown
Love MBK centre n i would like to go again end of 2021
Changed a lot now. 🙏
Cant wait to be back again in thailand, its been 3 years now since the last visit.

I rememeber when mbk was "the" mall in bkk
My loving Bangkok. But very few people! Waiting for opportune moment to visit my favourite city soon.
Huge Improvement on Old MBK ... Like a Rabbit Warren! .. Now its Light and Bright with Spacious Walkways>>
Nice!
Missing all everything in thailand
Just waiting for . . .MBK is good
Shopping Mall look so quite and
Am just praying 🙏 for thailand will
Back to normality and be. Back. There
Thank for nice video. !
Very beautiful place, like.
Oh yeah, I like MBK, last time I visited was two years back and they only renovated the top few floors. Animate Bangkok is still there, I hope.

Hi Simo. Do you know where they normally are in MBK? I noticed that clothing shops have relocated inside MBK, so not sure if they are still there.
@@globaltravelmate 2nd floor I think it was (maybe 3rd). Needle in haystack probably lol 🤣 Take care man 🙏😎👍🏻

Are the stalls on the 3rd floor that used to sell alot of tshirts still there? That was my fav place to get tshirts whenever I'm in bkk
What mobile operator do you use and why? Nice quick addition to a video
NICE VIDEO AS A LWAYS,IT IS SO SAD TO SEE THERE ARE NO PEOPLE BUYING ANYTHING,BUT IT IS THE SAME ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Miss here much🥺
I'd like to know, what lens are you using? 16mm? The wide is perfect.
I film with my phone 16:9 with 60fps
Wow MBK has made changes in the last 18 months
👍👍👍
I want to come soon.
14:27 wow its so surreal seing all those empty spaces.
the country wise food court serving various cuisines on the 05th floor will be missed. Had the best Pad Thai in town.
Totally agree...it was my main reason to visit MBK!
In every video where you are on the skywalk with the umbrellas between MBK and Siam Discovery there is a very high peep sound. You hear it too? And you know what it is?
Maybe the BTS trains that are passing bye? Or something from the traffic downstairs, or it can be sound of my sneakers squeeking on the ground.
@@globaltravelmate It's a constant peep. The closer you get to those umbrellas the louder it sounds. When you leave the roundabout skywalk to the skywalk towards the BTS I don't hear it anymore.
why did they put all that shade there with not ONE bench or seat?
How about Panthip Plaza....? Is it still the same? I used to live for a long decade at Grand Diamond next to it.
Made this video a while ago. Panthip has changed completely. ruclips.net/video/6E8UqOFOzYk/видео.html
@@globaltravelmate I REALLY miss the old Pantip.

Is the Japanese restaurant on the ground floor still there ?
The MBK charm is gone…so sad…..do you know where all the stalls on the 3rd floor went to? We’re they relocated? Thank you for sharing
If you mean the cosmetic stall, some are still around that zone.
I see one right behind the escalator on 3rd floor
MBK looks like a ghost town, so many stores closed, and hardly anyone shopping……

Pantip plaza?
Is "The Pizza Company" open in MBK?
Hmm, I did not notice it. A lot was closed such as Sizzler and other restaurants.
@@globaltravelmate I search the internet and found that it is "permanently closed". It was sad because I used to dine to this place.
Always liked those bug collections….haha..very cool but you can’t take most of them out of Thailand….

Looks the same to me, just deserted
Shou.show da floor of Yana halal restaurant at MBK
Would someone be kind enough to tell me if Bangkok is not in lockdown any more ? And how much have the eased on the restrictions?
they dropped a gentrification bomb on MBK? omg...where will normal Thai's shop now? I miss the big ol blue bug eye with vibrant green MBK lettering. Those huge monitors advertising are taking over!
Have the Taliban turned up in Bangkok,,situation will pick up they always do,,, peace and happiness as always Jeroen,,
Looks sad still but not as dead as i thought
This floor my credit card got swolen by the ATM machine.
Ps! Damn, that ONE thumb down guy is persistent....gotta be the same guy right..😄😄😄
It looks so generic now. Back in the days that was the place to be, teeming with shoppers.
คนน้อยมาก...เมื่อไรโควิดจะหมดซะทีจะได้กลับมาเหมือนเดิม😊😊😊
How depressing
