You should be able to buy almost everything you desires here.
What sets this Central apart from others is the fact that there are less tourists here, Ladprao branch is more local.
Prices are quite global, you may find some things more expensive than others. Suggest you to come evening, there's the outdoor street market for those who are on a look out for the cheaper, perhaps copy duplicate version. Quality can't compare, but at least it won't dent your wallet.

In Union Mall you don't get the crowds like at Central or other big department store. Union Mall is a nice place that away from central madness, yet lively enough to give you some excitement. Lots to do nearby and plenty of shopping/eating/entertainment options....
While Union Mall has a market type layout and feeling. Many stalls selling young designer wear. It is really a great place to buy cheap outfits for a night out on the town. This mall seems to cater mostly for young people, like students.

This is a really cool coffee shop. It's a great place to get a quick cup of coffee, and it's also a good place to sit and relax for a while. A lot of college students study here. The prices are a little expensive, but the environment is very nice. I usually get the mocha and it's delicious!

Welcome to the Meat lover's place. The Beef pretty much melts in the mouth. However, like many old-school Chinese establishments that serve a secret family recipe to plebs, service is not their forte, at all, or hygiene. But the pots come with brimming hot coal. The shabby shop house decor and golden oldies soundtrack does inspire a period film-esque ambiance though.
Suggest you to try!

Peaceful, shady, and cozy garden, more tranquil during day of weekdays. Good for walking and running. However bicycles and any move on wheels are not allowed. But it is still a pleasant place though.
There is a cool walk path to ROD-FAI park (Wachirabenchatat Park), which you can bike or wheel or do many more excercise activities there.

Beautiful place especially for big city. A good place to take some rest and feel the nature around. In the part which close to BTS station has much more people than in second part which is closer to MoChit 2 Bus Terminal. You will see some interesting creatures too. Like big lizards, turtle in the water and little bunny. The park is really big so you can easy find place for you.
