Although not as a luxurious commercial center as Siam Paragon or Central world but Mega Bangna is a paradise for young dudes. Because most of the goods are “durable, beautiful and easy to use”. In particular, there is a large ice rink, a cafeteria, a bowling alley with 24 lanes and a huge cinema complex. All those things are more than enough for you to spend all day to discover brand new experiences.

How to go to Mega Bangna by BTS?

Do not worry about transport fare – it’s on the house!

Although the center is slightly located out of the suburbs, the route is smooth and convenient for people without cars. You can go to Mega Bangna from BTS (Skytrain), Udomsak. Then arrive at the bus stop and wait for the shuttle bus free of charge.
Based on the outer appearance, we can identify the car thanks to its novel look and a noticeable electronic front board called Mega Bangna.

One of Mega Bangna’s “stars” is the IKEA area. Occupying about one-third of the central shopping zone, IKEA is an ideal spot for those who love home-made DIY from home appliances to beautiful decorations of all sizes. Displayed as an extremely large model house, you will be lost in the journey of capturing photogenic pictures for your own. Think twice before shopping on weekends because you have to queue in a long line.

The second attraction is the long series of cosmetics stores. From popular brands such as NYX, MAC, The Face Shop to well-known brands like YSL, Channel. Most of these shops can be found on the first floor of Mega Bangna. All you need is a lot of … tissues to wipe your hands after trying all sorts of pollen, nail polish, and cosmetics.

No staff there, all you need to do is choose what you need and head to the counter.

The third destination is the long line of clothing and accessories stores. Not as luxurious as the center city and not as dirt cheap as Bangkok Chatuchak market, but you will certainly find the item you like. If you choose, you can find beautiful and durable items at affordable prices.

Finally, if you decide to go to Mega Bangna, be lunch ready here. You can choose the food court on the upper floor or the restaurant adjacent to Mega Bangna.

Mega Bangna tips and tricks to discover

To successfully explore this place, you need to bear in mind some hacks. Image: mega bangna stores blog.

Unlike other commercial centers, Mega Bangna only has 2 floors, but the area is up to 35,000 square meters, so you will spend at least 1 day at Mega Bangna. Last time we visited this center it took nearly 8 hours just to shop and … walk around in the center. So, the first tip to bear in mind is to look at the signposts on each floor to see exactly where you are going to.

The second trick is to eat lunch in the food court. As usual, this place is cheaper and you only have to buy 1 card for a few hundred baht to eat (depending on your preference at which price to opt for). After purchasing the card, go to each store and simply choose the one you like.

The third and most important secret is to choose lightweight clothing and shoes. Especially women should have sandals or shoes for your own because you will have to walk all day on the Mega Bangna campus. Also, pay attention to the ubiquitous chairs in the center, they will be a great “savior” for your legs when coming here.

If you happen to be in transit at Suvarnabhumi International Airport within a day, this is where you can spend a few hours to kill past-time. Then you can easily approach here by taxi within 30 minutes, or catch the bus and BTS to return to the downtown area. One way or another, you should spend a day at Mega Bangna and make sure you have a good day “shopping till you drop”.
