The next time you are going to Bangkok, make some time to go to The Commons at ThongLor.
It gets a big “Yes” from me and I would highly recommend any foodies to at least visit this mall once.
However the mall is currently at its soft launch phase, there are several partners (about 20%) that are still renovating their space. Do check before heading down.
