| Find your reasons to glow at GLOW Pratunam. The chic, modern hotel that sits on top of a 5-storey upscale fashion mall, Shibuya 19 Fashion Mall |
Who doesn’t love shopping? Most importantly, who doesn’t want to live in the center of the capital’s shopping destination?
If you’re heading to Bangkok sale season or not, and made shopping top priority, then Pratunam is the place for you. It’s where you can find (and hoard) the stuff you want at prices that won’t break your bank. Just about anything you want, and perhaps need, this area offers can be unexpectedly “cheap” or “inexpensive” that purchasing an extra (large) luggage is a necessity.
Staying at the center of the shopping arena is one thing, how about living on top of a shopping complex? A spot where bargain hunters can reach shopping nirvana without leaving the building or just by stepping out the main door and venturing into the famous ‘pop-up’ markets flanking the city streets, where the need to commute and travel through the infamous city traffic is not needed.
