The largest mall in Asia, Central World,  is a must-visit destination for Middle Eastern shoppers who are looking for the best shopping, dining, and entertainment experience in the heart of Bangkok. With over 500 shops, Central World offers a wide selection of international and local brands, from the latest fashion trends to sports equipment, electronics, and beauty products.

But that’s not all, Central World also boasts a wide range of dining options, from local Thai cuisine to Michelin-starred restaurants and international favorites from Singapore, Japan, and other parts of Asia. There’s something for every palate, whether you’re in the mood for a quick bite or a sit-down meal.

When it comes to entertainment, Central World has it all. Middle Easterners can enjoy a range of activities, including ice-skating, laser tag, and a kids’ playground, all located on the second floor. For party lovers, Groove, the most popular hang-out zone for young Bangkokians, is the place to be. With its trendy music and fun vibe, it’s the perfect spot to unwind after a day of shopping.

And for Middle Eastern tourists, there’s an exclusive “Tourist Welcome Package” that offers discounts at participating stores, including fashion, spa products, and supermarkets.
