5 Best Places to Go Shopping in Victory Monument

Century The Movie Plaza combines a lifestyle mall concept and a cineplex in Bangkok's Victory Monument area. The 8-storey mall has 4 floors of shopping and dining, with Tops Supermarket and MBK-style vendor stalls in the basement. The 5th floor houses the 8-screen cinema, while the 6th to 8th floors are designated as an ‘education zone’ for tutoring schools and institutes.

Occupying the 1st floor of the Center One shopping complex, Soi Roy Ran is an air-conditioned indoor shopping bazaar. Like its name suggests (roy ran meaning '100 shops'), it houses an extensive lineup of single-unit shops selling everything from woman’s fashion to hair accessories, leather bags, shoes, high heels and even nurse's uniforms. Most shops cater their collections exclusively to women, although there are a few T-shirt shops as well.

Victory Point is an outdoor bazaar underneath the Victory Monument BTS Skytrain’s skywalk. It's jam-packed with market-style stalls and food vendors. Catering to working-class Thais and university students, the collection of clothing and fashion accessories on sale here is no different from those you will find at street-side stalls throughout Bangkok. After sunset, a lineup of makeshift bars offers cheap drinks, such as bucket cocktails and local beers. 

Open-air, with a landscaped pond, small fountains and pockets of greenery, La Villa caters to the contemporary lifestyle of its clientele. Shops within this 3-storey community mall span a wide range of categories, from the cutting-edge to fashionable to simply cute, such as iStudio, a Japanese manga store, Bookazine, Wine Connection, After You (Japanese-style dessert café), iBerry (creative homemade ice cream), Greyhound café, Starbucks and, Villa Market.
