Lonely Planet review

Once Bangkok's most chi-chi shopping centre, Emporium is finally starting to show its age in comparison to its hipper and younger siblings, Siam Paragon and the recently remodelled Central World.

The ground floor is filled with Euro fashion labels, like Prada, Miu Miu and Chanel. The 2nd floor is more casual with homegrown contenders, like Soda, which has snipped punk into haute wear, and image-maker Greyhound. Staid Jim Thompson even gets a face-lift with its branch here. On the 3rd floor, indigenous kitschy-cool gifts and home décor can be found at Propaganda.

Even more impressive than the resident fashionistas is the Thailand Creative & Design Centre (tel: 0 2664 8448; www.tcdc.or.th; 6th fl), a design museum with an attached gift shop selling cool souvenirs related to the various exhibits, and a design library.
