HOURS: Daily 10 a.m.-10 p.m.
Though it’s called a mall, Platinum is really more of a market with rows and rows of stalls selling mostly clothing but also accessories and shoes. The best part is that it’s air-conditioned and a little less crowded than a typical market.
Prices here are usually very reasonable and most items for sale are in the 200-400-baht range, although you’ll pay a little less if you buy at least three of any item.
Serious shoppers and boutique owners from all over the region come here to stock up, often equipped with rolling bags to fill with finds.
