Couple of things to mention about MBK. They have a government office there where you can certify marriage certificates etc. And a big shout out to P&P Mobile (C96) on the floor where they sell all the mobiles and repairs. the only place I could find in Bangkok (I went to fortune town as well) willing to attempt to do a repair on my 5G Portable router. Nobody else would touch it, lol. Fixed it for 500 baht. still works fine to this day. If you need something awkward that needs fixed they might be able to help you.

Great video Peter! very informative. I was taken to this multi floor shopping centre about 20 years ago by a friend on my first Thailand trip. Back then it was nearly entirely all electronics and pirated DVDs📀 on every floor. Also thanks for mentioning the DIY store. I wasn’t aware Thailand had a decent discount variety store like this .

My shirt people are against the wall on 3F, but they move around. If I like what I see, I buy 10 or 15 with a discount. Sometimes they won't have the stock, and they'll need a day. I stay in the Mercure or the Ibis across the road for MBK shopping days - I buy too much for the train. If you are buying leather bags here, check that it is real leather. I was stung. I think you need coins or B20 for the toilets, they're on alternate floors on the car park side. As you say, Peter, weekdays are better. Some merchants have a superstition about the first sale of the day, going early might fetch a lower price.

Great video Trev, can I just add of a word advice, about something that happened to me in MBK, please delete if not allowed. But just a quick word about being aware of exactly what you're buying, back in oct last year I bought a sim card from the tech floor, I asked for 3 weeks unlimited, I was told I would have to buy 30 days, ok no problem. I kept checking definitely everything unlimited and definitely 30 days, yes I was told. I paid the amount, which was for 30 days. However 10 days later whilst in Jomtien I ran out of data. So I visited the sim brand shop in Pattaya, but they couldn't help, as the shop that sold it to me wasn't a proper outlet for that brand of sim. So beware everyone double, triple and even quadruple check what you're buying

If you think MBK is haggling you obviously don't know how to haggle, just asking for best price is not haggling. Most of the vendors sell the same stuff and I am sure they agree on a minimum price, but it is cheap or fake stuff anyway, so who cares if you want to 'haggle' over fake TShirts or fake watches.
