The sheer size and diversity of many of the buildings puts similar retail outlets in other cities across the world to shame.<\/p>\n<p>Yet not content to rest on their laurels and sit back and enjoy the show, the designers and enterprising organisations behind Bangkok\u2019s retail scene constantly push towards being ever more innovative and awe-inspiring.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to shopping malls, the Thai capital really has things down to a fine art. So it is no surprise that the last decade or so has seen the emergence of yet another angle on the Bangkok retail and leisure experience &#8212; community malls. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_73578\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/javenue-ccs.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-73578\" class=\"size-full wp-image-73578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/javenue-ccs.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/javenue-ccs.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/javenue-ccs-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-73578\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image from creativecommons.org<\/p><\/div>\n<p>These somewhat more low-key shopping centres are often open-air, or at least partly open to the elements, and get their name from the fact that they are apparently intended to serve as a \u2018coming-together\u2019 area for the neighbourhoods in which they are established.<\/p>\n<p>This is reflected in the design and outlay which often includes some kind of cute or quirky feature that makes the place more personable and approachable than some of the vast and somewhat faceless malls. With their ever-changing hordes of people who generally don\u2019t know each other, Bangkok\u2019s mega-malls are easy to get lost in.<\/p>\n<p>The community mall concept, however, aims at a more \u2018local\u2019 feel, with many of them also being more child-friendly. (If you have ever spent the day in one of Bangkok\u2019s huge, central retail complexes, it may not have completely escaped your attention that they aren\u2019t always ideal places for anyone with small children.)<\/p>\n<p>Locals have mixed views on whether the community mall experience is actually that \u2018local\u2019 or not, or is indeed just another way of capitalising on the Bangkokian love of shopping and eating. Yet some of these places do have a distinctly refreshing vibe about them that is a nice alternative to the bustling, \u2018get-out-of-my-way\u2019 large shopping mall culture.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_73582\" style=\"width: 934px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/circle-ccs.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-73582\" class=\"size-full wp-image-73582\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/circle-ccs.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"924\" height=\"616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/circle-ccs.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/circle-ccs-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/circle-ccs-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/circle-ccs-816x544.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-73582\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image from creativecommons.org<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Bangkok community malls often feature boutiques and other shops a little more unique than some of those in the major retail centres. They\u2019ll also have a few cosy and inviting caf\u00e9s, as well as a whole host of great eateries.<\/p>\n<p>The smaller, more intimate, yet \u2018open\u2019 and relaxed atmosphere of these places makes them great for coffee-shop people watching or afternoon strolling. Some of them even come with a kind of outdoor market attached.<\/p>\n<p>In the best of the Bangkok community malls you\u2019ll find a touch of greenery and cobble-style courtyards as the designers do their best to work around Bangkok\u2019s oppressive climate and vibe, trying to create the effect of having some \u2018breathing space\u2019 amidst the chaos and concrete of the city.<\/p>\n<p>The first community malls started to appear around various sectors and districts of the Sukhumvit Road, namely the upscale Thonglor and Phrom Pong areas popular with aspiring hi-so locals, and Japanese and other foreign expats and visitors.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll see from this post that there are a fair few in those areas, although it\u2019s common these days to find community malls pretty much anywhere in the city where there is any kind of local population, resident or otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s have a closer look, in no particular order, at some of the best and most-established community malls in Bangkok.<\/p>\n<h4>1. W District<\/h4>\n<p>W District is a Bangkok community mall that does a fine job of bringing together shopping, dining, and entertainment. It has a kind of relaxed, beer garden atmosphere, as well as a courtyard comprising various food and snack stalls.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_73584\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/w_district_-_panoramio_mohigan.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-73584\" class=\"size-full wp-image-73584\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/w_district_-_panoramio_mohigan.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/w_district_-_panoramio_mohigan.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/w_district_-_panoramio_mohigan-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-73584\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image by Mohigan from creativecommons.org<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Here the lively markets and shops are set off by an urban, modern art twist. This is apparent from the backdrop with its elements of stylish graffiti and various sculptures, so there\u2019s always something interesting to look at in and around the several sections of the place.<\/p>\n<p>The W Market dining section is hugely popular, and there are various boutique shops next to it selling mostly fashion items and various accessories.&nbsp;This community mall serves as a kind of central hub of activity in the Phrakanong area.<\/p>\n<p>W District is easy to access as it is situated right next to Phrakanong BTS Skytrain Station in the lower reaches of central Sukhumvit.<\/p>\n<h6>Location:1599 Sukhumvit Road, Phrakhanong, Watthana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand<\/h6>\n<h6>Open<strong>:&nbsp;<\/strong>Daily from 11am to midnight (restaurants open daily from 4pm to midnight)<\/h6>\n<h6>Phone<strong>:&nbsp;<\/strong>+66 (0)2 381 2277<\/h6>\n<h4>2. The Commons<\/h4>\n<p>In the trendy Thonglor district of Bangkok, The Commons is definitely one of Bangkok\u2019s most impressive community malls. This 4-storey affair\u2019s aim is to be the \u2018backyard\u2019 of the local neighbourhood, with each of the 4 sections having something different.<\/p>\n<p>There is a strong emphasis on food and drink, and you\u2019ll find everything on offer here from Mexican to Japanese, pizza, and craft beer. There are trendy, communal dining areas and for more of that community vibe there are also hair salons, florists, and even a family-friendly green play area.<\/p>\n<p>As with some of the other community malls in the city, this one has various activities such as playgroups for kids and Pilates for mum, as well as various regular workshops, live music sets, and other community-type gatherings.<\/p>\n<h6>Location: Thonglor 17, Sukhumvit 55 (BTS Thonglor)<\/h6>\n<h6>Open<strong>:&nbsp;<\/strong>Daily from 8 am to midnight (restaurants open daily from 4pm to midnight)<\/h6>\n<h6>Phone<strong>:&nbsp;<\/strong>+66 (0)2 712 5400<\/h6>\n<h6>Contact<strong>:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecommonsbkk.com\/\">www.thecommonsbkk.com<\/a><\/h6>\n<h4>3.

Rain Hill Plaza<\/h4>\n<p>The eco-friendly Rain Hill is spread out over 5 floors, and is resplendent with nicely-manicured trees, which provides a nice stop-off point in another one of the dense, city centre regions of the Sukhumvit Road area.<\/p>\n<p>As with the majority of the community malls, the main attraction is the specialist restaurants which are largely independent affairs, but you\u2019ll also find a few boutique fashion stores.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_73590\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/javenue3-ccs.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-73590\" class=\"size-full wp-image-73590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/javenue3-ccs.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/javenue3-ccs.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/javenue3-ccs-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-73590\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image from creativecommons.org<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Rain Hill features lots of Japanese dining options, as this area of Bangkok\u2019s Sukhumvit is popular with both expat and visiting Japanese.

There are occasional outdoor markets featuring handmade items, second-hand accessories, and various other items.<\/p>\n<h6>Location:&nbsp; 62 Rama VI Soi 30, Samsen Nai, Phaya Thai, Bangkok 10400<\/h6>\n<h6>Open:&nbsp;Daily from 10am to 10pm<\/h6>\n<h6>Phone:&nbsp;+66 (0) 02 278 3258<\/h6>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000\">8.
