Hi Caroline and Anthony! Actually, the majority of the local Thais who take the free shuttle are going home in the area and some are going to work at the mall. I rode on that shuttle last November and spoke to the Thai passengers and they told me that it’s a free way to get home. Most of the locals do not go into the mall. This is why the boat shuttle to Icon Siam now charges 10 baht when it used to be free. The mall realized that the locals were using the boat shuttle to get across the Chao Phraya river but not go into Icon Siam.
Fun fact: They give you 6 hours free parking (used to be 8 hours) because the mall is so massive. IKEA: Mega Bangna is the first IKEA store in Thailand
Mega Bangna is to the south of Bangkok. My house is way up north. I go there if there is a special purpose 'coz the drive is long and tiring, even with the tollway that drops me right down in front of that mall (but on the other side of the Bangna Trad Expressway). You guys look like you really had lots of funnn!!!
It's a huge mall, I'd been there one time with a free shuttle bus like you guys took. Luckily you got seats on the bus, always crowded, some has to stand until reach the mall Love to watch your videos
Awesome video! My wife and i have never been to that mall because we never make it to that side. We cant wait to check out save one go food market after you guys made the video and its only one stop away from our condo. Keep up the great content!
Finally come to Bangna mega mall,but the largest Mall in Thailand is under construction right now it will be at Bangna BTS station it will be called Bangkok Mall it will complete in about 2 more years
We’re literally have that mega size mall across the corner (outskirts) of Krung-Thep, there is Future Park Rangsit that far from your location still you can take BTS Green line from E7 Ekamai to N23 then take bus or taxi. Somehow be prepare for heavily traffic especially evening 😅 otherwise another largest size of mall to explore and walk around. There also Central Westgate with another Ikea location which accessible by those BTS from Ekamai to Asoke then MRT Blue Sukhumvit to Tao Poon and MRT Purple Tao Poon to Talad Bang Yai, there walk way from station to mall. Aside of Central Group for those shopping mall we also have The Mall Group as well.
Oh wow! Future Park Rangsit is Far! 😅 Definitely looks awesome too! So many wonderful malls in Thailand! Thank you so very much for the recommendation! 🥰🫰❤️🙏 Central Westville we definitely plan on visiting one of these days 😁. Love the instructions on how to get there too! 😉
i was working there when i just gradute 5-6 years ago never tired of walking exploring that mall and my favorite restaurant is Coco ichibanya japanese rice curry type of restaurant
@20:04 that section is depend on what festival / important day there maybe full of street food day or other goods so if you comeback like every 2 week you may find somethings different there
Must’ve brought back good memories we hope 😅 Coco Ichibanya is delicious! We’ve never tried it in Thailand though. Only in the states. Might have to try it 😅
You should definitely watch paradise of thorns which is the bottom left Thai movie at 6:13 it's soo good and it's English subbed, it's unlike any movie made for the western market~
Please do a tour & review at "sapan lek" / สะพานเหล็ก it's a mall dedicated solely to toys Edit: nearby is "klong tom night Market" คลองถม every Sunday
You can definately stay there whole day. There's a park at the side of the mall next to Ikea(pet friendly) along with a very nice school. Also Topgolf which is think it's from America if you golfing. As for the restuarant Wisdom International Buffet is one of the best there. It's 1000B ++ per person a lillte bit pricey but the food is superb.
@@ChovyTravel. Take the yellow line and get off at “Suan Luang “ station & check out “Seri market” at “Paradise park “ shopping mall. It’s one of the best food court mixed with market , lots of various premium local foods and you’ll see lots of people over 60 stay there all day. Besides Paradise park , there’s another mall , Seacon Square which used to be the largest mall in Thailand & Behind paradise park , there’s a park which is the largest in Thailand , “ Suan Luang Ror Kao ( 9 ) “ where lots of people come everyday.
@@ChovyTravel They are in the same Srinagarindra area. You can take the yellow line to Suan Luang 9 station. Also, there's a famous night market (Train night market) nearby. They are all worth visit but you probably can't do them all in one day because they're so big.
@@ChovyTravel Also bring some umbrellas around. I know it's weird for American people but Thailand's heat is no joke. Buying a UV protection umbrella is always a good investment you can use it for UV protection and rain.
Believe it or not,I was once experienced a bad day at this mall,saying struggled to spot my car at the huge parking lot after purchasing some decorative items at Ikea out there.Literally,it took about an hour to grab it,that's the answer to describe how big of this mall!!!
You guys missed the cheap food court like the one at Terminal 21! You buy a reloadable card and eat cheap street food. From my recollection, it’s on the second floor.
Originally, Mega Bangna was a business of SF, one of the 2 giants in the cinema service industry in Thailand. In addition to the cinema business in hand, SF's investment portfolio also has many department stores called open-air shopping centers, which are department stores that are developed horizontally rather than building multi-storey department stores like leading department stores. Most of them have only 1-3 floors, and one of them is Mega Bangna and Esplanade. But then the number one giant in the cinema business industry, Major, bought shares of SF, which made all the department stores business, leaving only the cinema business. Therefore, all SF department stores became the property of Major. But when the COVID-19 crisis hit, Major lacked liquidity, so it sold shares of SF to Central Group, allowing Central to get some department stores that were originally owned by Major, namely Mega Bangna and Esplanade Ratchada. And as we all know, Central has been doing business with Major for a long time, so they are both strong partners. Central takes care of the department stores, Major takes care of the cinema business. The owners of SF Cinema are also competitors and business partners of Major. Therefore, Central also has personnel who are executives of open-air shopping centers. This is why the Central West Village mall that you have explored was created because it used the concept of Mega City Bangna as inspiration for its design. The executives of Mega City Bangna became executives of the Central Group! 😂😂😂
Oh wow!!!! That’s so interesting and also very smart!! Thanks for sharing this. Central and Major are 2 that are everywhere for sure. SF movie theater too, we’ve seen around. Some of their theaters look nice. We seriously have to check out Central West Village… we loved East Village and it became one of our favorite ❤️ Thanks again for sharing this background story 👍
The big malls you see in Bangkok like Siam Paragon, Central World are in the area called CBD (Central Business Center). In the area of Asoke and Sukhumvit, they call it NewCBD. It is centered around the EM family of malls, such as Emporium, EmQuartier, and Emsphere, as well as Terminal 21. There is an area connecting the CBD and NewCBD called Lang Suan Road. And when you go to the east of NewCBD, you will find the EastCBD area or Bangna area. This area is important because it will connect to Suvarnabhumi International Airport. And the EastCBD area will be like a border connecting 2 future mega cities of Thailand, Bangkok and EEC Mega City (may be called another name). EEC is a combination of 3 large industrial cities in the eastern region of Thailand, Chonburi(The Pattaya City and Sri Racha are part of Chonburi Province), Rayong and Chachoengsao. They are going to build a Mega City, which is like a 2nd Bangkok, to be completed in 2030 in the Sri Racha area. Both Bangkok Metropolis and EEC Metropolis will be connected by high-speed trains and motorways, making travel between the 2 Mega Cities convenient and fast. With the high-speed train connecting Bangkok and the EEC mega city, it will take you less than 60 minutes to travel for a distance of more than 200 kilometers between the two metropolises. In the EEC, there will be a large airport, a smaller version of Suvarnabhumi Airport, which is U-Tapao International Airport. They will make this airport an aviation city similar to Incheon Airport in Korea and Narita in Japan. For the reasons above, EastCBD or Bangna area will develop rapidly. In addition to having Mega Bangna, which is the largest 2-floors mall, there is also a mall of the Mall Group called Bangkok Mall, which is the largest mall ever built in Thailand (bigger than The Iconsiam). In addition, there are many large real estate projects in this area. The project with the most investment is the foresties, worth more than 120 billion baht. It is an office and residential property surrounded by a very large planted forest area. 😂😂😂
Omg!!! You are very insightful! Love this. Thank you so much for sharing it. As a foreigner, most of the times I don’t know what is happening here. Thanks for letting us know about the areas and what’s happening/coming up. 😉🫶🏻
@@ChovyTravel Suvarnabhumi Airport is currently in the expansion phase to upgrade the airport. What will be built is the South Terminal Building, or simply called Terminal 2, and will build a 4th runway. In short, the structure that you see at Suvarnabhumi Airport today will be copied to the South Terminal. It will be like a twin airport. Both terminals on the basement level will be connected by APM trams, just like what you see at Terminal 1. The basement level has APM trams connecting to SAT1 building. When the South Terminal upgrade is complete, EastCBD or Bangna areas will be directly connected with Bangna area. There will be an MRT or monorail connecting from Bangna to the South Suvarnabhumi Airport. It will make the whole Bangna no different from the NewCBD area of Asoke-Sukhumvit that direct connected with Airport rail link. That is the entire development plan that has been designed. 😁😁😁
Thank you for this information. It sounds exciting. Can not wait to witness these super plans while on my frequent visits. Greetings from Uganda in East Africa
@@AnonChiranukulpipatI travelled through the new terminal to the S gates.. i however did not get to see any shops. I always plan for shopping time on my way out. I was disappointed
@@lynnetteleilah3739 SAT1 is not a terminal, it is called a satellite building. It only has a waiting area and a gate for boarding the plane. If it is a terminal, there will be a check-in point for loading luggage and there must be an immigration checkpoint. The purpose of building SAT1 is to 1. Increase the number of passenger areas from the main terminal1. 2. Improve passenger convenience. Passengers who come to Suvarnabhumi Airport do not have to take a shuttle bus to board the plane anymore. And 3. To increase the lounge area for waiting before boarding the plane for full-service airlines. And currently, both Terminal 1 and SAT1 are undergoing internal renovations to increase the useful area. For example, a playground for children, upgrading the food court, upgrading the point of buying Thai products from all over the country to this airport and Don Mueang Airport. And what has been canceled is the duty-free zone on arrivals. 😁
I like soooooooooooooo much even i can't tell how much i like your content really sir . Pls i want to talk to you personally so pls tell me where i can bcoz i want to ask you about Thailand visit
Actually Central group doesn’t only own just deparment store in Thailand, Its first foray into Europe began in 2011 with the acquisition of Italy’s prominent luxury department store, Rinascente, followed by Illum in 2013, KaDeWe in 2015, Globus in 2020, and finally Selfridges Group in 2022. They have around 80 department store around the world.
Who are the owners of Central group? I envy their stores. I got to visit Central Village during my last visit in July and i was mesmerized. I spent the whole day shopping and was not able to explore it all
@@lynnetteleilah3739There are other outlet builds arond the same time by other company ((Siampiwat) names " Siam Premium Outlet" it about the same size with different docoration// Central own by Chirathivat family, one of the richest not the richest family in Thailand only 3 families richer than them.
you're correct, Long John Silver sucks. These days, it also has a tandem A&W Rootbeer Burgers in the same fast food restaurant, which also equally sux, double suckage all in one place. And they don't serve Coke products, another minus. Captain D's is better for a fast food fish 'n chips place, which also isn't saying much.
@@ChovyTravel Sure, I've tried it and it's my favorite menu item at KFC. But let me warn you, even some Thais can't stand the spiciness of this menu item. It's sooo spicy.
The kind of mega sales that they have all year round, no need to havr a special one on Black Friday. I recommend you visit Central Village for discounts upto 80% on big brand names.
If I’m a RUclipsr I would want to hear from my viewers too. It’s not a surprise having tons of question living in a whole new country and surely Thais has no problem answering them. Be open minded. Peace ✌🏻
@lopat4826 Sorry to hear that but we’re just very curious 🤷. The questions are for the people that are willing to help us/are interested in answering. We’re not a huge fan of the hostility so maybe we’re not the channel for you
There is a bed cinema too in case you want to watch transformers while laying on the bed and they have a snack buffet for you in waiting room so go early🎉
I enjoy how you guys interact with the audience and keep them engaged by asking questions. Never been bored. Keep up the good work! ❤❤🎉🎉
Me too❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍
Thank you so very much! 🥰🫰❤️🙏
Really appreciate the love and support! 😃 Will do! Tyty!

Hi Caroline and Anthony! Actually, the majority of the local Thais who take the free shuttle are going home in the area and some are going to work at the mall. I rode on that shuttle last November and spoke to the Thai passengers and they told me that it’s a free way to get home. Most of the locals do not go into the mall. This is why the boat shuttle to Icon Siam now charges 10 baht when it used to be free. The mall realized that the locals were using the boat shuttle to get across the Chao Phraya river but not go into Icon Siam.
Icic! That definitely makes sense! Very smart. I would do the same 😅
Fun fact: They give you 6 hours free parking (used to be 8 hours) because the mall is so massive. IKEA: Mega Bangna is the first IKEA store in Thailand
Wow! That’s more than fair for free parking! That’s definitely good to know! Thank you for sharing! 🥰🫰❤️🙏
Those are interesting facts!
Mega Bangna is in Samutpragarn province which considered to be a peripheral province of Bangkok.
Icic! It can be confusing for foreigners for sure 😃
That is a huge mall. We've passed it several times but never went. I think we'll have to stop by and check it out.
You guys have to visit! Make a day of it. I’m sure you guys will enjoy it as well 😃
Amazing tour 😊😊
Thank you so very much! 🥰❤️🫰🙏
Thank you for virtually taking us there. I don’t know that they even have shuttle bus service.
Absolutely our pleasure! Truly amazing that they have that free shuttle service 😃

Love to watch your videos
Yeah we got lucky!! 😄 hehe
Any mall is worth visiting when it’s 35°C+ and over 70% humidity outside 😆
Exactly! 😂 100% Agree! I feel like I can only function in Malls 😁
Awesome video! My wife and i have never been to that mall because we never make it to that side. We cant wait to check out save one go food market after you guys made the video and its only one stop away from our condo. Keep up the great content!
Oh yeah??!! We absolutely loved that night market! Have fun when you go!! Eat a lot of yummy food 😋
the best mall in Bangna zone no doubt about it.
100% Agree!
I have visited Mega Bangna only 3 times in 10 years but still huge and looking good.
Yeah it’s a great mall to explore!! A lot of good looking food too 😊👍
We found shopping centres in Thailand wild but this one looks on another whole level, so big!!
Definitely massive and worth visiting when you guys visit Thailand 😃
Finally come to Bangna mega mall,but the largest Mall in Thailand is under construction right now it will be at Bangna BTS station it will be called Bangkok Mall it will complete in about 2 more years
Amazing Massive Mall! Can’t wait for that one to finish 😃
Good job ❤❤❤,please explore budget friendly and natural sea food market in pattaya
Thank you so very much! 🥰🫰❤️🙏
We do need to make another trip to Pattaya! Maybe in December 😁
Favorite donut place is called “Daddy Dough “ ❤❤🎉
Never even heard of that place before 🤔. What’s your go to donut from Daddy Dough? Do you get any drinks from there?

Always something new happening in Thailand 😅. I just wish they had a website or something to let us know all of those type of festivals 😃
@@ChovyTravelCheck out Thailandexhibition
Wow thank you so much!! 😊🙏 will definitely check it out!! 🫶🏻
Dunkin Donuts have the best value. Soft, sweet, light texture. My favorite. Krispy Kreme comes second in my book.
We’ve never tried Dunkin’ Donuts in Thailand. Will have to try it now! Which one is your favorite?
@@ChovyTravel 'Choc Peanut' is my favorite.
We might have a same taste in donuts 🍩😊
I love the solid choc with the icing. If there are donut holes available, that's what I usually buy. These go great with iced milk drink.
These malls in Bangkok look much nicer than the ones in the U.S. even upscale ones.
Think Bangkok is infamous for their beautiful malls. Never knew they had so many 😅
-คราวหน้าลองมาเดินที่ตลาดปัฐวิกรณ์ ส่วนใหญ่เป็นสินค้ามือสองราคาถูก
-อาหารของกินในเมืองไทยเยอะมาก จนบางทีคนไทยเองก็เลือกไม่ถูกว่าจะกินอะไรดี😂
-ชอบดูคุณสองคน ขอให้มีความสุขนะคะ
Really!? Interesting! We feel the same way how Thai’s feel about what to eat 😅 Thank you so very much! 🥰❤️🫰🙏
Alnost half a year already. Hopefully you don't get bored. Lol i just love warm weather
Not Boring yet 😁
There is also a park outside the mall and a Top Golf course. In the past, there was also Marvel Studios. Unfortunately it's closed.
Yes! We noticed that! It’s beautiful and Top Golf is so much fun! 😃
Very nice
Thank you so very much! 🥰🫰❤️🙏
the passion fruit drink stall is famous for the jelly call Ai Yu. it is from Taiwan.
Had no idea 🤷 It was so good! 😃 Can’t wait to visit a Taiwan one of these days
You should definitely watch paradise of thorns which is the bottom left Thai movie at 6:13 it's soo good and it's English subbed, it's unlike any movie made for the western market~
Really?? We’ll put it on our list 👍
You can try some shabu shabu, mala, or yakiniku there. Most of them are buffet with great value.
They seriously have EVERYTHING!!! We’re gonna have to go back. 😄 What are your favorite restaurants there?
I think may be Mega Bangna is the most biggest mall which nearest Suvannabhumi Airport.😊❤🎉
Sounds about right 😃
Please do a tour & review at "sapan lek" / สะพานเหล็ก it's a mall dedicated solely to toys
Edit: nearby is "klong tom night Market" คลองถม every Sunday
Thanks for the recommendation! Didn’t even know that mall existed 😅. We will have to check it out one of these days. 🥰❤️🫰🙏
This is my favorite place. It has everything you need. And there will be a lot of people at the end of the month and there will be a lot of traffic.
Very Nice! 100% Agree! Why are there a lot of people at the end of the month?
@@ChovyTravel On payday, they go spend the money.😁
Ahh got it! So in Thailand, you guys get paid monthly instead of weekly or biweekly?
@@ChovyTravelJust like it is in Africa. Weekly and bi-weekly is majorly for Europe and America
That’s interesting! Yeah, we’re used to biweekly but noticed in Korea too, it’s monthly.
We are now have event named SX FOOD FESTIVAL at Queen Sirikit convention center. Event start today till 6 October. Lots of food there.
Oh really?!! Wow thanks for letting us know 😊
I admire your perseverance trying to go there by public transportation 😂
Thank you so very much! 😅🥰❤️🫰🙏
You can definately stay there whole day. There's a park at the side of the mall next to Ikea(pet friendly) along with a very nice school. Also Topgolf which is think it's from America if you golfing.
As for the restuarant Wisdom International Buffet is one of the best there. It's 1000B ++ per person a lillte bit pricey but the food is superb.
100% Agree! Top golf is amazing! We did go there once in Thailand.
Thank you for the recommendation! Will have to check that out! 🥰🫰❤️🙏
Love Mega Bangna! Also, love Seacon Square. For malls' food, try Paradise Park. Their food court is so amazing and different from other food court.

the food republic is just being renovated, so it is not open at this time.
Okay that makes sense because even the information told us to go to the Ground level 😁
Yosinoya Beef Bowl is good, better flavor than here in US. Outside area of Bangna

Actually, it has the third SBUX kind of hidden away at the back near Harborland.
Oh really!? Wow! That’s insane!
Please do an apartment tour .
We will try to do it hopefully in the very near future 😃
My favourite donut brand is called “ Kinu Donut” it’s a Japanese style donut😊🍩 the store is in Aree area.
Thank you so much for sharing! 🥰🫰❤️🙏 Will have to check that place out. What’s your favorite donut from there?
@@ChovyTravel They have 3 flavour, original icing, cinnamon and salted egg. The salted egg one is very good, nothing like normal savory salted egg.
Hi hope you could close the trip loop by telling us how you get back to the BTS station.
Sorry. The terminal where we were dropped off is where you would take the shuttle back to the BTS.
Thanks
You’re welcome 😉
I like soooooooooooooo much even i can't tell how much i like your content really sir . Pls i want to talk to you personally so pls tell me where i can bcoz i want to ask you about Thailand visit
Hello 👋 we responded to your DM
@@ChovyTravel it means I can't talk to you directly?
Mega Bangna is in Samutprakarn though , not in BKK.
Got it! Thank you for the clarification 🥰
อยากให้คุณลองชิมอาหารข้างทางในกรุงเทพบ้างครับ❤😋😋😋
We do love street food 😃. Where is your favorite spot to get street food?
Actually Central group doesn’t only own just deparment store in Thailand, Its first foray into Europe began in 2011 with the acquisition of Italy’s prominent luxury department store, Rinascente, followed by Illum in 2013, KaDeWe in 2015, Globus in 2020, and finally Selfridges Group in 2022. They have around 80 department store around the world.
They monopolized so much 😅. It’s pretty crazy! Thank you for sharing!
Who are the owners of Central group? I envy their stores. I got to visit Central Village during my last visit in July and i was mesmerized. I spent the whole day shopping and was not able to explore it all
@@lynnetteleilah3739 Chirathivat family
@@lynnetteleilah3739There are other outlet builds arond the same time by other company ((Siampiwat) names " Siam Premium Outlet" it about the same size with different docoration// Central own by Chirathivat family, one of the richest not the richest family in Thailand only 3 families richer than them.
you're correct, Long John Silver sucks. These days, it also has a tandem A&W Rootbeer Burgers in the same fast food restaurant, which also equally sux, double suckage all in one place. And they don't serve Coke products, another minus. Captain D's is better for a fast food fish 'n chips place, which also isn't saying much.
Okay 😅 Definitely don’t need to try it in Thailand or anywhere else 😃. Just needed that extra assurance. Thank you for that! 🥰
🙋🤗☺️

KFC has a special menu right now that I dare you to try. It's called "Kai Jai Ded". But I warn you, it's extremely spicy. I recommend you to try it.
OoO Wow! Thank you for the heads up!
Have you tried it?
@@ChovyTravel Sure, I've tried it and it's my favorite menu item at KFC. But let me warn you, even some Thais can't stand the spiciness of this menu item. It's sooo spicy.
Caroline is gonna wanna try it lol 😆
Are you able to access all internet websites like the ones in the U.S.?
Not all US websites
Do stores have big sales like Black Friday? So one can take advantage and stock up like razors, underwear, etc
Some of them, not all.
I’m not quite sure on that. They do have sales though.
The kind of mega sales that they have all year round, no need to havr a special one on Black Friday. I recommend you visit Central Village for discounts upto 80% on big brand names.
I’m a fan of the og cartoon transformers. The movies are garbage to me.
I know, right!? Can’t even keep up with the new transformers…
I am not a fan of Transformers.
😅 I was a long time ago until they made like 10+ Transformer movies 😃
im so tried of yall asking us questions like this a kids shows
It’s a way RUclipsrs get viewer engagement. The more comments, the better the video ranks.
If I’m a RUclipsr I would want to hear from my viewers too. It’s not a surprise having tons of question living in a whole new country and surely Thais has no problem answering them. Be open minded. Peace ✌🏻
@@sweetp2927 totally agreed.. cheers
@lopat4826
Sorry to hear that but we’re just very curious 🤷. The questions are for the people that are willing to help us/are interested in answering. We’re not a huge fan of the hostility so maybe we’re not the channel for you
That’s true and it’s actually fun reading your guys comments/experience. Since we read every single one of them.
There is a bed cinema too in case you want to watch transformers while laying on the bed and they have a snack buffet for you in waiting room so go early🎉
Will definitely have to check the bed cinemas one of these days. Thank you for the recommendation! 🥰❤️🫰🙏
