Central Pinklao, Central Pattana’s third shopping centre and a fixture in Bangkok for more than 30 years, is set to redefine retail in western Bangkok with its most significant transformation in three decades. Backed by an investment of over 1.7 billion baht, the redevelopment introduces the concept of the ‘New Soul of the District,’ positioning the complex as the area’s premier lifestyle landmark across 360,000 square metres of space.
The new Central Pinklao aims to meet the demands of customers with strong purchasing power across all generations, featuring more than 500 leading brands and over 150 new trending names. Its refreshed design combines a classic-modern façade with an interior that balances elegance and creativity. The grand reopening is scheduled for 6 November 2025, with expectations that ‘quality traffic’ will rise by 25-30%.
Dr. Nattakit Tangpoonsinthana, Chief Marketing Officer of Central Pattana Plc, said: ‘Throughout its 30 years, Central Pinklao has grown into a lifestyle hub for the people of Pinklao. This transformation is a new sensation for Bangkokians that reflects the potential of Thonburi. We have curated more than 500 leading brands across fashion, lifestyle, health, beauty, technology and education, making Central Pinklao the city’s new landmark. Over 150 new and popular brands will appeal to the ‘Young Gen’ and ‘New Wealth,’ while we continue to serve our loyal base of residents and families within a catchment of over three million people.’
A highlight of the redesign is ‘The Park on Fifth,’ an open-air lifestyle destination on the fifth floor featuring dining, cafés and food patios surrounded by greenery and natural light – a first for Bangkok. The renovation also includes the revival of the 6.2-metre-tall Statue of Augustus, restored with a new look.
As the first mixed-use project in the area, Central Pinklao combines a shopping centre with two office towers in a prime location connected to Silom, Sathorn and Yaowarat CBDs, along with three train lines: the MRT Blue and Orange lines, and the SRT Light Red line. Surrounded by schools, hospitals, government offices and premium residences, the revamped Central Pinklao is expected to strengthen Central Pattana’s western Bangkok portfolio. Notably, Tops Food Hall at Central Pinklao ranked third nationwide in sales in 2025, while the Central department store branch ranked fourth, underscoring its role as a premium retail and lifestyle hub.
