Terminal 21 And The BTS Skytrain At The Heart Of Asoke Bangkok

At the point where Sukhumvit Road crosses Asoke Road you’ll find one of Bangkok’s most popular and busiest areas.  This is also the point where the BTS Skytrain (BTS Asoke) and the MRT Subway (MRT Sukumvit) meet making this a major intersection for business and commerce.  Steps from both the BTS and MRT station is the Terminal 21 Shopping Center.

This Mega Mall has a unique layout featuring both local and international brands. So whether you’re looking for the latest style from H&M or unique, locally designed clothing, there is a good chance you can find it here.  The mall is designed like an “Airport Terminal” with each floor designed to resemble a “destination country” such as England, Turkey, Italy, Japan, and the United States, each with recognizable cultural icons.

With all there is to see and do in Asoke, you’re sure to work up an appetite and there are plenty of dining options at Terminal 21.  In addition to numerous “sit down” restaurants, a low cost food court is located near the rear of the mall on second to top floor.  Just stop by a kiosk at the front or rear of the food court to charge up a “food court” card which you can return after your meal to receive the unused balance. There is a huge variety of food to choose from at some of the lowest prices you’ll find in Bangkok.

This area is also home to a wide variety of office buildings including the Interchange Building and Exchange Tower, both of which share the same intersection and direct links to the BTS and MRT stations. Across the street from Terminal 21, just steps from the MRT and with direct access to the BTS Skywalk is the convenient Times Square Building.
