Zen: Halloween is not over yet

United Colors of Benetton: Colorfun fans

Another fan properties in the window display can be found at United Colors of Benetton in Central World. If Fendi has a hand folded fan, Benetton has machine fan to reflects the more casual and dynamic feel of the brand. The fans come in various style, colors, and motif. The bright green color on the background give a more relax feeling just like standing in front of a fan in the hot summer day.

Zen: Mix up

 Vivienne Westwood at Zen

 R.E.D Valentino at Zen

Talking about shopping in Bangkok is not complete without visiting Zen, a local luxury department store which is actually owned by Central Department Store. In my opinion, Zen is tend to have younger and trendy feeling rather than Central, in this case I compare to Central Chidlom. It is located at Central World, the biggest shopping mall in Thailand, and becomes one of the anchor department store. The window display of Zen is of course very spacious and the VM team works very excellently. The feeling and aura of the display is surprisingly modern with minimal decor and luxurious touch. The mannequins are also look special with elongated proportions of legs and other body parts. Chinese New Year celebration is still in the air when I visited this dept. store but it is exposed modernly and fused with Western style. Besides the display of Zen, there are also window displays of some brands that have shop in shop concept. They are Vivienne Westwood that features a grey door and two mannequins in each, also R.E.D Valentino that always use marionette-like mannequins.

Bangkok's luxury shopping malls

  Siam Paragon

 Siam Center

 Central World

 Gaysorn

 Erawan

I had a full week vacation to Bangkok last week. This tourist packed city might be popular with its amazing and opulence Grand Palace and other grandeur temples around it but it also has mega malls with luxury boutiques and fashionable stores inside. At the infamous shopping belt of Bangkok or can be called Siam area, there are Siam Discovery and Siam Paragon that surround a newly renovated Siam Center, the pioneer of trendy fashion mall in this City of Angels. Few blocks from Siam, the biggest mall in Thailand that is Central World offers, and also overdoses, you varieties of fashion stores and dining experiences. Across the street, the magnificent Erawan Shrine with its famous Four Buddha Faces statue is standing infront of a little luxury empire, Erawan that is a part of Grand Hyatt Bangkok. Finally, Emporium at Sukhumvit might be old and small but it has the biggest Hermes boutique in Thailand and the quiet Gaysorn is still be able to attract even a group of Chinese tourists to shop like it is the end of the world.
