An immense shopping and dining destination in Bangkok
One Bangkok has finally opened its doors, and the transformation from a massive construction site to a luxury shopping and lifestyle destination is impressive. Located in a prime spot between Lumphini Park and Wireless Road, this multi-building development is fast becoming the new focal point of Bangkok.
When it first opened, the place was absolutely packed—so busy it was almost impossible to find a seat at any of the restaurants, especially since many venues were still preparing to open. Things have calmed down since then. These days, the crowds are more manageable, though weekends remain lively. Most restaurants and shops are now operational, and the vibe has shifted to something more relaxed and enjoyable.
Finding Your Way in One Bangkok
The mall is spread across six levels, including a huge underground zone called The Marketplace, packed with eateries and coffee shops. Above ground, the complex is divided into zones with different themes:
- The Parade
- The Storeys
- The Street
- Civic Square (the open-air area for events)
- The Wireless House
Each area has its own look and layout, which helps with orientation, at least a little. To be honest, it’s so big and layered that it still feels a bit like a maze on your first visit. It’s best to explore with time on your hands.
The mall part of One Bangkok spans six floors, including a massive basement level called The Marketplace. Finding your way around can be tricky—the complex is divided into zones like The Storeys, The Parade, The Street, and the central open-air Civic Square used for events. The signage helps a bit, but the sheer size makes it easy to get turned around. Just give yourself some extra time to explore.
The Market Place
The basement is filled with hundreds of small restaurants and snack stalls. It’s great for quick bites but can feel a bit claustrophobic at peak hours. If you’re looking for something more comfortable, take the escalator up to the top floor of The Parade, where many larger restaurants have seating with views over Sathorn Road and more space to breathe.

The Wireless House
In the middle of the ultra-modern One Bangkok complex, The Wireless House is a surprising and meaningful discovery. This elegant green-and-white structure is a replica of the original Saladaeng Radiotelegraph Station, Thailand’s first radio station, which opened in 1913 on this very site. Rather than being just a decorative piece, it houses a permanent exhibition that tells the story of the country’s first steps into wireless communication.
Inside, four zones walk you through the early days of radio telegraphy, the birth of radio broadcasting, the archaeological rediscovery of the original station, and the transformation of the surrounding area from quiet rice fields to Bangkok’s newest business and lifestyle district. Each section is compact and informative, with a few artefacts, vintage maps, and short explanations that are easy to follow.
Dining at One Bangkok
When the mall first opened, getting a seat anywhere was nearly impossible. The place was packed for weeks. It’s a bit quieter now, though still very popular on weekends. Most restaurants are finally open, and the flow is more balanced.
The basement is full of small restaurants, snack counters, and so many counters selling coffee! It’s great for grabbing a quick bite, but during peak hours, it can get crowded and a little stuffy. If you want a more comfortable dining experience, head to the top floor of The Parade. There, you’ll find larger restaurants with big windows and more space to enjoy your meal. Some offer views over Sathorn Road, which looks especially nice at sunset.
Baan Suriyasai
Baan Suriyasai has opened a new branch at One Bangkok, expanding its refined Thai dining experience beyond its original location in a beautiful heritage house in the heart of busy Silom. This new venue brings the same attention to traditional recipes, some inspired by royal Thai cuisine, but in a modern and elegant setting. Signature dishes like five-spice stew and crispy pork belly remain highlights. This new branch in the Parade Wing of One Bangkok offers a quieter, more contemporary space, perfect for elegant but easy-going lunches or dinners. The restaurant is beautiful and maybe even a bit intimidating, so it’s never busy, and therefore, reservations are not required.

The banchan are generous and can be refilled. We went on a weekend lunch and it wasn’t too busy, so the staff had time to explain the menu. Prices are a bit high, but fair for the central location and good comfort food.

The Location
This whole area has come a long way. Where One Bangkok now stands used to be home to two Bangkok icons: the Suan Lum Night Bazaar and the Lumpini Muay Thai Stadium.
It’s hard to picture today, but this was once a lively night market filled with small shops, local food stalls, a large beer garden, and a casual stage for live shows. Just next door, the Lumpini Stadium hosted some of the most exciting Muay Thai fights in town and was a favourite among both locals and tourists.
The Suan Lum Night Bazaar closed in 2011, and the land was cleared to make way for this massive new project. For those who’ve lived in Bangkok a while, walking through One Bangkok now can feel surreal. It’s clean, modern, and luxurious—but knowing what used to stand here makes the visit more meaningful, especially for those who remember Bangkok’s nightlife in the early 2000s.
Tip: If you drive here, take a photo of your parking spot—you’ll thank yourself later. The parking structure is just as vast and can be frustrating to navigate when it’s time to go home.
Lumphini Park
Lumphini Park is just across the road from One Bangkok, and it’s like stepping into a different world. One minute you’re among skyscrapers and luxury malls, and the next you’re surrounded by trees, joggers, and paddle boats. It’s where locals go for fresh air, a walk, or to just sit under the shade and watch the world go by. If you’re staying in or around One Bangkok, this park is your go-to spot to escape the city buzz without actually leaving it. Early mornings and late afternoons are especially nice when the park really comes alive.
