About The Emporium

The Emporium is Bangkok's original luxury mall, opened in 1997 and recently renovated to maintain its status as a premier shopping destination. Connected to BTS Phrom Phong via Exit 2, the mall offers a more traditional department store experience compared to its younger sibling, EmQuartier.

The Emporium has evolved over the years, successfully blending its heritage as Bangkok's first truly upscale mall with modern amenities and tenants. The recent renovation has refreshed the interior while maintaining the elegant atmosphere that made it famous.

The crown jewel of The Emporium is the Gourmet Market on the lower floors—widely considered the best supermarket in Bangkok for imported and specialty foods. For expats, this alone makes The Emporium essential.

Above the mall sits the Emporium Tower, home to offices and the Fitness First Platinum gym, making it a complete destination for Phrom Phong residents.

It's Bangkok's best supermarket for imported goods—European cheeses, wines, Japanese products, organic produce, and an excellent prepared foods section. Essential for expats who miss foods from home.
