REVIEWS OF HOTEL EXECUTIVE CLUB LOUNGES, KIDS CLUBS AND MORE.
When people think about shopping in Bangkok, one of the first places that comes to mind is Platinum Mall. This huge shopping centre has been famous for years as a paradise for fashion lovers. It has hundreds of small shops inside, selling clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories, and many people love it here because of the cheaper prices.
Bangkok has long been known for imitation goods. Visitors would come here for a copy bag or watch in places like MBK, Chatuchak, and Platinum Mall. Sneakers, especially, were and still are very popular.
Whether you are looking for knockoff Yeezys, Jordans, Nike, Adidas, or even “limited-edition” releases, you are sure to find them at Platinum Mall. You will also find a variety of styles, from chunky sneakers to running shoes of different quality levels. Some are obviously fake, while others closely resemble the originals.
Some shops display cheaper models openly, while others keep the better-quality replicas more hidden, only showing them when you ask. Prices also vary, depending on the “brand”, the quality, and the shop. Whatever the price, don't forget to always bargain. More often than not, the first price is usually not the last.
If you love sneakers but don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on originals, this mall is still one of the best spots in Bangkok to shop.
The MBK Centre has been a legendary spot for knockoff goods for decades. Entire floors are filled with small shops selling everything you can imagine, from fake handbags and jewellery to all types of sneakers.
Like Platinum Mall, some shoes are displayed openly, while the higher-quality fakes may be shown privately. Prices are also different, and bargaining is a must.
Known as one of the largest outdoor markets in the world, Chatuchak is another place where you will find imitation sneakers. It is a maze of stalls selling everything from pets to fashion. In the shoe section, you will find lots of legit sneakers but even more fakes, including both budget knockoffs and higher-quality replicas. Bargaining is part of the fun here, so make sure you get the best deal.
This may not be one of the world’s largest markets, but it is another big market in Bangkok. It is located close to Platinum Mall and is more raw and chaotic. It is popular among wholesale buyers, but tourists also go there for cheap fashion items, including knockoff sneakers, which are easy to find and often at lower prices.
Platinum Mall remains one of the best places in Bangkok to shop for imitation sneakers, whether you want trendy Yeezys, classic Jordans, or stylish everyday trainers. The variety and pricing make it a favourite spot for both locals and tourists.
If you want to try other places, check out MBK, Chatuchak, or Pratunam Market. These are equally good, if not better. The variety is wide, prices are budget-friendly, and you can be sure that almost every type of sneaker is available, especially at the MBK centre.
