Bangkok’s Newest Shopping Mall

The iconic building with an enormous sign that reads Show DC, highlighted in bold red on Rama IX road
is hard to miss. This is Show DC mall, a shopping complex, inspired by the latest Korean shopping
destinations. The mall encompasses a total of 17 acres of land. Visitors will not experience the ordinary
in this mall. Instead, you can enjoy K-pop, EDM or hip hop in the 5000-person capacity live music concert
hall. You can also marvel at the 5000 sq. metre cultural facility called the Himmapan Avatar, which is a 4D
walkthrough theatre of holographic images from Buddhist mythology. Meanwhile, feel a rush of adrenaline
when visiting the modern sports arena. Or better yet, experience a thrilling live action martial arts
performance led by master director Prachaya Pinkeaw at the mall. A Korean-style walking street is also in
the works, with fashion boutiques, cosmetics and lots of food stalls – ensuring that there is something for
everyone to enjoy. www.showdc.co.th

Pillars of Luxury

The passion and influence of the Wongphanlert family led to the restoration of the historic
Baan Borneo – the northern headquarters of the East Borneo Trading Company built 125
years ago— which transformed into 137 Pillars House Chiang Mai in December 2011 where
guests experience a luxurious boutique hotel amidst trees and nature in the heart of Chiang
Mai. That same essence of luxury and hospitality will now be felt in Bangkok at the newly
launched 137 Pillars Suites & Residences Bangkok in Sukhumvit 39. The hotel will have a total
of 179 residences and 34 luxurious suites, complete with private dining, personal butlers and
bespoke services, ensuring the perfect stay for tourists, business travellers and locals alike.
