Central Chidlom

While not quite as famous as the nearby Central World, Central Chidlom is also a centrally located downtown seven floor departments store that has just about everything to make for a good shopping experience. The floors are easy to navigate, with separate areas dedicated to menswear, women's clothing, travel, shoes, and so forth. The highlight of the mall though is its Gourmet Food Market downstairs, which is stocked with fine food from around the world, and is one of the few places in Bangkok where you can find truly top notch imported olives, cheeses, gourmet bread, and just about anything else. Located smack downtown with easy public transport access, everything is convenient about this spot.
