Wow, wow,wow......that’s unbelievable......that was the big mall when I first came to Bangkok 30 years ago.....I know that there have been many malls built since then...Siam paragon, Icon Siam and such but hard to watch this place disappearing.....thanks for another great video.....see you in your next video!

[@anthonymcgrath4889]

I’ve always visited MBK when in Bangkok. It would always be so full of shoppers regardless of the day of the week. You would be drawn along with the crowd coming from the BTS.Sad to see it now. Let’s hope it recovers. Thanks for another great video. Tony. UK. 🙏🏻

[@blackcoffeeclub]

It really is sad to see such a vibrant city like this. Keep making the videos, still love seeing all the places I've walked around every year and those that I'll explore when I finally do come back. Thinking 2022, omg how depressing, but then again it's only 11 months away. Let the countdown begin!

[@raidermanuk]

It must be a strange experience being in MBK and Bangkok in general with no people around. Very sad. Whenever in Bangkok I always end up in MBK for one reason or another even though I've had a few bad experiences shopping there (one involving gold). I would normally be in Bangkok right now and it's hard to describe how much I'm missing it. Once again thanks for your filming efforts.

[@patnyabangkok7751]

what happened with buying gold ? was it fake or under weight ? i bought an iphone brand new in a box, turned out it was a fake.

[@raidermanuk]

@@patnyabangkok7751 I had been dealing with an MBK jewelry retailer for about 5 years. I would provide them with sapphires and they would have their factory set them in 18k gold rings. On the last occasion, I had the rings assayed at the Birmingham UK assay office (the oldest assay office in the world) and none of them were 18k but were assayed at 14k. Also, years ago my 13-year-old daughter spent £40 of her hard-earned savings on a sony music player (pre ipod days). It was fake. She was so upset and I felt so guilty I gave her the money back!

One of my favorite malls, very very sad........MBK looks terrible, empty and so many shops have closed down........say no more,....... thanks for taking me to MBK.

[@tasaneewantanakul8382]

MBk nice shopping center So Amazing thailand ! And very nice Video ! 😍👍

[@MP-nf9qz]

Thanks for the update on MBK! I always enjoy visiting there when in Bangkok. The food court was very good in the past.

[@blaketodd2482]

Sad. I love MBK and I hope that Thailand can pull thru this (as well as many other countries worldwide). It does look like they have taken this opportunity to upgrade MBK to put it more in line with all the other malls in the city. It probably needed a good refresh so hopefully this will only be a minor setback.

[@edmo43]

Hello my friend.✌thanks for another great video. It's like spending a whole day or moving to that area.👍 I am an impulsive shopper and being at the Mahboonkrong Center will be a wonderful experience.🤣

[@บัวโบโด้]

Fantastic stuff i love mbk

[@MsMinhVlog]

So beautiful place. Thank you for sharing 👍

[@niteray]

This is heartbreaking as this is most favorite mall in the world. Thanks for posting so at least those of us dreaming of visiting bkk know the real deal

[@edisianarki1939]

i always impressed with the walk way connection that they build just right at the down side of sky train that easy for pedestrian to going any part of the road side.

I hope the smaller shops on the top floors will reopen soon and not go out of business permanently.

[@antonr.7776]

OMG ! Best shopping mall ever. I wonder if "My Suit" is open! Wonderful tailors ! Miss all of that so much

[@emazzikanbodo3014]

I'd prefer the lingerie stores on first floor

[@onetime5632]

Hello, the admin at MBK Shopping Mall, this area is beautiful. 👍😊👍

[@brianlutkin2085]

Wow...this is so sad to see. Puts things into perspective here. I used to always go to mbk, I showed parts to my thai wife, she was shocked. She used to work in one of the smaller outlets when she was younger. She knew loads of people who used to work there. I remember it always packed out with people, you could get anything you wanted there. I am totally shocked, I was under the impression all was going as normal in bkk, but obviously not. Hopefully things will get busier soon. Bri and frei east Yorkshire.

[@lk7144]

I first visited MBK in Dec 1997 and then many times after that. So sad to see it deserted like this!

[@mikehoffman1475]

I enjoyed MBK more than the new fancy malls. My imitation James Bond watch I bought there still works great!

[@marclesperance1709]

MBK is one of my family favourite malls.. I would drop my wife and kids there while I go to other remote locations for Autoparts. They would take hours there. Looking forward to visiting there again. 👍🏽

[@jpthetravellingaussie813]

Wow, one of my must visit spots for my holidays and really sad to see the place so bare. When Thailand decides to open its borders without the requirement for ASQ stints (does not make financial sense until then), who would still travel to see places with empty shops etc? It would take months for business owners to reinvest in opening as they need customers and customers need places to visit. I guess we all wait and see what happens? Thanks for the video mate. Must be sad for you too to see what’s happening there.

[@awebb470]

Beautiful my friend thank you for sharing❤❤👍👏👏

[@Sunnysdelights]

I was in BKK-MBK last year just before Covid. Its sad that so many shops and stalls have closed due to the pandemic.

[@marissa8061]

This place was such an integral part of my childhood in Bangkok :( so sad to see it like this

[@mytube9182]

Last time I saw MBK this quiet was in 1985 when it was just newly opened. There were not much things to sell yet at the beginning.

[@MeteorX11]

I am Malaysian but I love shopping at MBK Mall. Its old but it has lot of charms. I hope Bangkok will get better after the pandemic so i can get to visit it again

[@tonyc226]

Always enjoyed wondering around MBK and having lunch in the food hall :)

Good day Jeroen. May I asked what model of mic you purchased? I usually use my GoPro and Garmin Virb when I cycle and also experience noise issues.

[@MJrocs1309]

Can't tell you how many hours I have spent in that mall. Sad to see it like this , but it will come back after co-19. Would like to have seen if the food courts were open.

[@wilspu5590]

NWO etc will want it to close and go online only amazon

I’ve never been to MBK during any of my trips to BKK. I was put off by the number of shoppers. Now would be an excellent time to visit if only I could get a flight out of my country. Pity. 🇦🇺🤷🏻‍♂️. Also, another really helpful and good video and presentation. 👍🏼 🙂

[@kasiwawa]

Mooie update van MBK. Je hebt daar in MBK net voor je de camera winkel bent binnengestapt ook de Samsung repairshop gepasseerd. Ze geven een zeer goede service voor je Samsung smartphone.

Few weeks ago i went in Panthip Center, bought some computer stuff. It looks like same, empty and many shops closed. But compfortable for shopping, quiet and no rush inside.

[@AmbientWalking]

Oh wow! That's so scary. I wonder how BKK is going to survive this...

[@michaelb2228]

Pantip Plaza was the place to go to for tech. when I first went to Bangkok. Not that far from MBK.

[@michaelb2228]

@peter Grahame The Thai love affair with twee malls continues as I see from a following vlog.

[@Zed1987X]

Just a quick update. I live in Bangkok, MBK was the most increasingly decreasing shopping mall in Bangkok since COVID. Several stalls closed and this January, many simply not renewed their rentals. Phone stalls, souvenir stores, some brand stores also. End of January Tokyu, the biggest store inside with 4 floors also closed. Now it is a ghost shopping mall as mainly it was visited by foreigners and travelers.

[@winterbalm]

I found it strange that being one of cheaper and simpler shopping malls MBK had one of the most expensive food courts comparing to cheap food courts in Terminal21 and luxury Siam Paragon

[@afrorakda]

Thank you for sharing such information😊👍

[@kasiwawa]

Ook dat museum is zeker de moeite waard om eens binnen te stappen. Is laagdrempelig en alleen de bovenverdieping is betalend. Doet een beetje aan het Guggenheim in New York denken kwa stijl.

[@julhamrijani684]

When i visited bangkok almost every day to mbk mall. There is my favorite local restaurant on the 5 floor, above the tokyu

[@somluck2813]

Yes, MBK is pretty devoid of customers, but if walk down the road to Siam Paragon that is doing OK. It is packed on the weekends. Icon Siam is also packed on the weekends. The suburban malls, it is business as usual. The Patunam Fashion Clothing mall is not doing the same business as usual as many many customers are from South Asia and other international tourists. The hotels, restaurants etc in that area are suffering. The malls aimed at the Thai middle class are doing OK while the malls that target the international tourists are doing badly. Bangkok is doing OK. Places like Koh Samui and Phuket that are designed, built and run for international tourists are really struggling as one would expect. No international tourists, their reason for existence ceases like mining towns when the ore runs out. Very large infrastructure development going on in Bangkok with new metro rail infrastructure being built, the largest train station in South East Asia just finished, high speed train being built through Thailand and Laos connecting into the PRC, and high speed train line down to Pattaya, large infrastructure facilities being built in the economic corridor between Bangkok and Pattaya. A number of extremely large mixed used developments such as One Bangkok are also being built in Bangkok.
