🇹🇭Don’t make mistakes when shopping in Bangkok! Sukhumvit area buyer store + test notes ✨
#BangkokShoppingGuide Listen to the advice! If you want to discover local designer brands in Bangkok, just follow this article~ Personally test 4 stores + 1 cafe, avoid minefields and go straight to the essence!
🌟Must-visit boutiques recommended
1. HIDE boutique|Local designer paradise
Mainly focusing on Thai local brands, the shirts and dresses are of excellent quality! I bought a shirt for over 400 baht. The cut and fabric are not inferior to those of big brands. Unfortunately, the service attitude is mixed. Only the younger brother clerk is friendly and polite. It is recommended to shop by yourself.
2. Loft eyes|Texture-controlled ceiling
The most favorite of the whole audience! It is only 1 km away from my residence in Sukhumvit. The staff is so enthusiastic that I want to move back home (the comparison with HIDE is too obvious 😭) ~ The display is very design-conscious, with everything from avant-garde clothing to retro accessories. I can't stop taking pictures! Remember to take time to stroll around, there are surprises hidden in every corner.
3. Papaya Fabric Shop | A must-visit for home furnishing lovers
Not just florals! The pillows, carpets, and tableware are all full of Thai style. Unfortunately, the store is so popular that the beautiful fabrics are almost sold out (early bird rush is recommended!). If you don’t buy the fabrics you like, you can also find quality items by visiting the home furnishing area.
☕️ Cafe experience
co-incidence | The coffee is delicious but avoid the odor
The iced latte and hand-brewed coffee are of good quality, but the other drinks are average. The desserts are exquisitely shaped and suitable for taking photos. However! The Asian and Latin men at the next table were disrespectful when talking about women. I suggest you choose a window seat to avoid the awkward area...
💡Practical Tips:
• Route: Loft eyes → HIDE → Papaya (concentrated in Sukhumvit Soi 31-33, very convenient for walking/riding shared bicycles)
• Shopping tips: You can try on clothes and bargain at Loft eyes, and cash payment at HIDE and Papaya is more cost-effective
• Tips to avoid pitfalls: co-incidence recommends take-out coffee, and if you want to sit and chat for a while, choose The Commons next door.
Shopping in Bangkok is really more interesting the more you explore! Next time you go to other niche stores in other areas, put these on your must-visit list.
