Metro Malls in Bangkok

There are a number of Metro Malls in Bangkok. These are shops located within the MRT stations. I passed the one that is located in the Chatuchak MRT station.

The malls are not big but it is designed very nicely and one can have a pleasant walk or some drinks/snacks if one is tired. The air con was also very good and will cool you down.

At one end of the mall

A view of the mall. We were too early so not many were open.
For a number of MRT station, some of the entrance/exits were closed if there is a potential threat for it to flood. Only those raised were open. Although it made going in and out inconvenient, I suppose it is not a choice. Imagine if water were to pour in the subway station.

One of the exit. See the sand bags on the stairs.
The closed exit
At least now, I know where to cool off when in Bangkok. There are signs showing which MRT stations have such malls.

Until the next time, cheers.
