Gaysorn Plaza

A haute couture catwalk, Gaysorn has spiralling staircases, all-white halls and mouthfuls of top-name designers. The 2nd-floor ‘Urban Street Chic’ zone is a crash course in the local fashion industry. Established Thai labels including Tango, Fly Now and Stretsis have outlets, or you could head over to Myth, an umbrella store for smaller domestic labels.

Stores on the 3rd floor offer the same level of sophistication for your home. Thann Native sells locally inspired soaps and shampoos fragrant enough to eat. The open-air D&O Shop is the first retail venture of an organisation created to encourage awareness of Thai design abroad.

In addition to shops, Gaysorn also offers a Lifestyle Consultant. Available by appointment, but free of charge, the service consists of two ‘experts’, a local fashion designer and a makeup artist, whose goal is to guide you to that perfect outfit, shade of mascara, or spa treatment.
