Platinum Fashion Mall is one of the popular shopping spots in Bangkok, especially known for fashion and clothing items. However, I found the overall experience a bit disappointing. First of all, the place is extremely crowded, especially during weekends and holidays. It’s difficult to move around freely, and some areas feel a bit too packed, which can be overwhelming and tiring.
While the mall is often advertised as a wholesale market, the prices are actually quite expensive compared to other wholesale areas like Pratunam Market or even some Chatuchak sections. Many shops have a minimum purchase requirement for wholesale prices, but even then, the discount is not very significant. So if you're looking for real wholesale deals or affordable shopping, this might not be the best option.
Another thing to mention is the lack of halal food choices. For Muslim visitors, the mall only has two small halal restaurants, which is very limited considering how big the mall is. It would be great if there were more variety and larger halal food options to make it more inclusive for all shoppers.
Also, the location isn’t very convenient if you're relying on public transport. It's not directly connected to the BTS Green Line, and you need to walk a considerable distance or transfer to reach it, which can be uncomfortable in Bangkok’s hot weather.
Overall, while there are many shops and styles available, the experience was not as convenient or affordable as expected.
