How to Get to Central Village<\/strong><\/p>\n

Central Village is 10 minutes away from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport. Which means it is best to visit the mall immediately when you arrive or just before you depart.<\/p>\n

\"\"
You just have to key in “Central Village” in the Grab app. There is only one drop-off point (gate E) so there shouldn’t be any confusion.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The best way to get there is to use Grab app and key in “Central Village.” We did that and it cost 170Baht<\/strong> (S$7.60).<\/p>\n

However, there are also free shuttle buses\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>from BTS Udom Suk Station, from Central World, and from Airport Link Lat Krabang Station.<\/p>\n

\n

How much time to spend at Central Village?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We took about 3 hours in total<\/strong> to walk around the mall, entered a few shops whose brands we like, and even had lunch. But we are swift shoppers. I can see how some people may spend up to 6 to 8 hours there.<\/p>\n

\"\"
So bored of the shops we took silly photos to amuse ourselves. Look, I’m a flower in a vase.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\n

Tourists Have Privileges! <\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Go to the Information Centre and register membership. You may enjoy 10% discount on top of the already discounted items. Also: get free wifi.<\/p>\n

2. There is a luggage storage called “Lock Box.” It’s not free.<\/p>\n

\n

Is Central Village worth visiting?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Short answer: No.<\/p>\n

Long answer:<\/p>\n

Newly opened on 1 Sept 2019, Central Village houses some common brands. These are some of our favourites:<\/p>\n

\"\"
Anello<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Calvin Klein<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"

\"\"

 <\/p>\n

\"\"

\"\"

\"\"

\"\"
Under Armour<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"
Victoria’s Secret<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Some other popular brands include Adidas<\/strong>,\u00a0Bath & Body Works<\/strong>,\u00a0Champion<\/strong>, Chloe<\/strong>,\u00a0Converse<\/strong>,\u00a0Zegna<\/strong>,\u00a0Kenneth Cole<\/strong>, Kenzo<\/strong>,\u00a0Levi’s<\/strong>,\u00a0and\u00a0Ferragamo.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, we say the outlet mall is not worth visiting<\/strong> because:<\/p>\n

a. Brands are limited and not attractive. These brands are way too common and you can find discounts for them everywhere; you don’t need to go to an outlet mall.<\/p>\n

b. Discounts not substantial enough. The prices offered at the mall are similar to the prices you can find online. So why waste time travelling there? Just use your handphone.<\/p>\n

\"\"
This cup costs 1995baht or S$90!!!<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

c. Other outlet malls coming up. There are 3 outlet malls in the works so you may want to explore those instead.<\/p>\n

To be fair, many shops are not open yet. But all shops are estimated to be open in Oct.<\/p>\n

\n

What to Eat at Central Village<\/strong>
\n\"\"
\nThe rule of thumb is you shouldn’t eat at outlet malls. However, when the stomach bacons<\/del> beckons, you eat or you die.<\/p>\n

There are several options here including Nara Thai<\/strong> (which we have in Singapore),\u00a0Bonchon<\/strong> (South Korean fried chicken chain, also available in Singapore), a few\u00a0Japanese<\/strong> restaurants, and a few cafes<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>Be warned that the prices at cafes are not cheap. We saw a cake that cost S$8 at a cafe and quickly scampered away.<\/p>\n

\"\"
You can pick your own seafood at the food court.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the end, we settled for the food court with the innovative name “Food Village.”<\/p>\n

How the food court works: You have to buy 500baht credits first. By the end of the meal, you can refund<\/strong> the amount that is left in the card.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Pad Thai<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are more than 10 stalls here, each one serving a Thai specialty food. There are also Western and Japanese stalls.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Thai Oyster Omelette<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The food was okay. Nothing spectacular, but good enough for a quick lunch.<\/p>\n
