Erawan
Erawan Bangkok, the graceful mall with direct access to the Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok right in the heart of the Ratchaprasong shopping district, has an air of exclusivity about it. A five-storey space covering about 13, 000 square metres, it's a boutique mall that offers a selection of only the most elegant lifestyle brands. And the shoppers who frequent the polished hallways and eateries here are equally suave...
On the ground level is a world of little eateries, collectively known as Urban Kitchen. Serving up a wide range of cuisine, it features elegant venues such as Crystal Jade, La Mian Xiao Long Bao (Chinese dim sum), Amaltery (adult ice cream parlour), Kitchen Paradiso, Nara (authentic Thai restaurant), Caesar Steak House, Olio Salad Bar as well as The Erawan Tea Room, overlooking the famous Erawan shrine, offers teas from all over the world along with decadent sweet things and cucumber sandwiches in a nod to the English tradition of afternoon tea.
Throughout the first and second floors are stylish boutique shops featuring the likes of Burberry, Blackjack - a multi-brand store featuring chic labels like Helmut Lang, Comme des Garcons, Mc Q, Citizen of Humanity and D2 by Dquared2 - and Club 21 - an umbrella of world-class designer items ranging from Kenzo Takada to Issey Miyake.
Rise to the top floor where you can select a therapy to suit your style, from hair spas, aromatherapy massage to colonic hydrotherapy. Each of the wellness and beauty centers also has their own line of products, perfect souvenirs to show off to your friends.
