Shibuya Mall

There is an elevated walkway from Gaysorn Plaza to the Pratunam shopping area. The skywalk is called R Walk (Ratchaprasong Walk). I took the BTS Sukhumvit Line to Chidlom and walked to Pratunam on the R Walk, to check out a new mall called Shibuya. I saw it mentioned in the Facebook group Bangkok Shopping Finds. The mall has three floors of wholesale fabric, mostly polyester and lace. I bought 2 meters of polyester at 100 baht per meter. If you buy more you will get the wholesale price.

A food court, Food Center on the 6th floor, is open daily from 9:00 – 6:00. Closed Sunday.

Sirinda Shop does made-to-order labels, patches, stickers, printed and laser buttons and more. Look for sirindafanpage on Facebook. I bought a few decorative embroidered patches at 20 baht each.
Hours for Sirinda Shop:
Monday through Saturday 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
Closed Sunday

It’s also called Shibuya 19 Shopping Mall. There are lots of fashion clothing shops in the mall too. See pics at this link.  Bangkok.com

They have a branch at Bobae too, open Monday – Saturday 8:00 am – 6:00 pm closed Sunday.

Jim Thompson Outlet for Silk in Bangkok

The Jim Thompson Outlet on Sukhumvit Soi 93 is open every day from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. They have a range of silk from heavy upholstery fabric, to lighter weight for clothing. The lighweight silk is called 1 ply. It is washable and great for sewing up quilts or clothing. Silks are on floors 1 and 3. They don’t have chiffon or anything light like that. The lightest I saw was a shimmery white silk in a couple of different weaves that would be good for blouses or dressy clothing.

The solid color one-ply silks are 350 baht per meter ($10 a yard)

One-ply silks are on floors 1 and 3.

The printed silks are 500 baht per meter ($15 a yard).

Clearance tables on every floor with prices as low as 300 baht for a 2 meter piece ($4.35 a yard) for pure silk!

This is silk-blend upholstery fabric.
