Gaysorn Amarin, formerly known as Amarin Plaza, is located on Ploenchit Road in the heart of Bangkok’s Ratchaprasong district and is directly connected to BTS Chidlom via skybridge. The property sits within one of Bangkok’s most vibrant retail and lifestyle hubs, surrounded by leading shopping malls, hotels, offices, and restaurants.

Following a major redevelopment, Gaysorn Amarin officially relaunched in March 2024 (Q1 2024) with a refreshed concept as an urban lifestyle destination.

Design Concept: The Old–New Spirit

The renovation introduces the concept of “The Old–New Spirit”, blending the building’s original post-modern architectural elements, such as its signature Roman columns, with contemporary design under the “Gaysorn Cocoon” concept. This creates a seamless connection with nearby Gaysorn Village and enhances the overall Gaysorn ecosystem.

Key Highlights

  • LV The Place Bangkok – A unique concept by Louis Vuitton combining exhibition space (Visionary Journeys), café, and fine dining experience
  • Raynue – A modern lifestyle lounge and social destination in Ratchaprasong
  • Gaysorn Food Village – A curated dining zone featuring renowned restaurants, including Michelin-level concepts
  • Piazza – An open public space designed for events and urban interaction

Zoning & Experience

The project is reimagined with a placemaking strategy, dividing the space into four key zones:

  • Fashion Style – Global fashion and lifestyle brands
  • Food Style – Diverse dining experiences
  • Life & Wellness – Health, beauty, and lifestyle services
  • Workstyle – Flexible workspace including co-working operators

Retail & Accessibility

Gaysorn Amarin offers retail space across 5 levels, featuring a mix of international and local brands, including Maison Margiela, Lawry’s The Prime Rib, Dough Bros., and Villa Market, alongside a wide selection of restaurants and lifestyle stores. Its prime location ensures excellent accessibility via BTS, with strong foot traffic from both local and international visitors.

Positioning

With an investment of over THB 1 billion, the redevelopment transforms Gaysorn Amarin from a traditional retail mall into a premium lifestyle destination with strong mass appeal, strengthening the appeal of the Ratchaprasong and Ploenchit CBD as a key business and retail hub in Bangkok.

If you are looking for office space in the Ratchaprasong or Ploenchit area, Gaysorn Amarin offers a unique blend of retail, lifestyle, and business environment in the heart of Bangkok CBD.

One City Centre

More Than Just a Grade A Office Building

When people talk about premium office space in Bangkok CBD, One City Centre on Ploenchit Road is always at the top of the list.

But what makes this building truly stand out is not only its modern architecture, column free floor plates, and direct BTS Ploenchit connection. It is also what awaits on the very top floors.

A Hidden Gem Above the City

Glass Reflection Hall on the 58th Floor

At the 58th floor of One City Centre, you will find a stunning glass reflection hall surrounded by panoramic city views. The mirrored surfaces and suspended lantern style lighting create a magical atmosphere, especially during sunset and night time.

This sky level space has quickly become one of Bangkok’s most photogenic indoor viewpoints. The reflection effect gives a feeling of infinite space, making it perfect for content creation, private events, and lifestyle experiences right above the business district.

For companies leasing office space in One City Centre, this is more than a building feature. It becomes part of the daily experience. Imagine hosting clients in the heart of Bangkok and then bringing them up to a sky level venue with 360 degree views of the skyline.

Sky Bar Experience

Akara Sky Hanuman

Also located at the top of One City Centre is Akara Sky Hanuman, one of Bangkok’s newest rooftopdestinations.

Inspired by the legendary Hanuman, the design combines Thai mythology with modern luxury. The entrance itself makes a bold impression, creating a memorable experience from the moment guests arrive.

Inside, you will find a rooftop bar atmosphere with city views stretching across Ploenchit, Wireless Road, and the Bangkok skyline. It is an ideal venue for after work networking, client entertainment, or corporate celebrations.

For tenants, having a rooftop bar and sky venue within the same building adds prestige and convenience. Business meetings can seamlessly transition into evening drinks without leaving the property.

Why This Matters for Office Tenants

Today, companies are not just looking for office space. They are looking for experience, lifestyle, and image.

One City Centre offers

  • Premium Grade A office specification
  • Direct BTS access at Ploenchit
  • Large efficient floor plates
  • High ceiling and modern design
  • Sky level lifestyle destination

For regional headquarters, multinational companies, and growing enterprises, One City Centre represents more than workspace. It represents brand positioning.

If you are considering office space at One City Centre or other Grade A buildings in Bangkok CBD, contact RA Office Space Bangkok for availability, rental rates, and viewing arrangements.

Here’s a quick look at where the Bangkok office market is heading in 2026 — and what it means for tenants.

Grade A Rental Rates

Expect to pay between 900–1,500+ THB/sqm.

Note: The newest “Grade A+” buildings in Ploenchit and Wireless Road are pushing the top end of this range.

Grade B Rental Rates

Generally range from 600–850 THB/sqm.

Tip: This represents a significant saving for companies that don’t require a “status” address but still want to be close to the BTS.

The “Flight to Quality”

Many companies are moving up from Grade B to Grade A as landlords offer attractive incentives, such as longer rent-free periods, to fill new office towers.

What This Means for Tenants

2026 is shaping up to be a tenant-friendly market, especially for companies willing to explore both Grade A and Grade B options strategically.

The key is understanding effective rent, not just headline asking rates.

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.
