Get your brand-name shopping done this holiday season at luxury outlet Central Village

With the clock running down ahead of Christmas and New Year’s, there’s not much time left to get your holiday shopping done – but don’t stress, keep calm and get your shopping on, all in one spot! Central Village, Thailand’s first luxury outlet, is a one-stop destination for brand names and festive vibes, so you’ve still got plenty of time to get gifts for your family and friends, enjoy a “wintry” holiday atmosphere just a stone’s throw away from Bangkok, and fuel up on tasty treats in the process. And psst, they’ve also got tons of hot deals to mark the end of year, including discounts of 30-75% every day!

As a word-class destination for brand-name shopping (it’s a favorite amongst tourists from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and India!) Central Village is – as its name indicates – a village! The shopping complex is massive, covering an area of 36,000 square meters, meaning they’ve got tons of pet-friendly outdoor spaces, so you can bring your favorite furbabies along for the experience. With all that space, Central Village has parking for more than 2,000 cars. The luxury outlet is just 10 minutes away from Suvarnabhumi Airport, and is easily accessible from the city via a quick 30-minute drive – or a convenient shuttle bus ride from Central World for just B100 per trip.

You can find over 300 international brands and exclusive outlets at Central Village like Runway Eighty carrying designer labels like Chloe and Jimmy Choo, to the most popular local Thai brands, like the eco-chic Pasaya and Element72. Other brand names taking up residence in the village that may strike your gifting fancy include Aldo, Calvin Klein, Coach, Guess, Kenneth Cole, Lee Wrangler, Luxe Gallerie (carrying MCQ, Moshino, and Vivienne Westwood), Pandora, Polo Ralph Lauren, Quiksilver, Roxy, Samsonite Sanrio, Sunglass Hut, and Tommy Hilfiger – to name just a few out of the hundreds!

With the heat, humidity, and palm trees, tropical Bangkok doesn’t exactly give winter wonderland vibes, but Central Village has transformed their Royal Village Luxury Courtyard fountain into a holiday hub and station for year-end celebrations with its “Shoppertainment Experience”, a collab with Line Friends to create Line Friends Village, featuring a giant Christmas tree, decorative lights, artificial snow, and a carousel ride at the very photogenic, Instagrammable Line Friends Park. Speaking of Line Friends, from Dec. 29 to Jan. 1, there will be a Line Friends meet and greet so you can snap cute shots together with Brown, Cony, and Choco! And from Dec. 23 to Jan. 2 the Central Village Giftival, a gift festival, will be buzzing with activity! The gift market event will feature pop-up shops featuring lifestyle trends, so find something for everyone!

This festive setting means Central’s Village is not only the place to shop till you drop, but also a prime spot to spend Christmas day – and actually have it feel like Christmas! On Dec. 25, there’s going to be a concert from Thai superstar Non Thanon at the Christmas tree lighting event, “Central Village Light up Christmas Tree 2023”.

And as we mentioned, don’t forget about the special promos – Central Village has heaps of ongoing offers to celebrate the end of the year! For starters, you get a chance to redeem products from the Line Friends special collection when you spend B3,500* or more! Secondly, for every B2,000 you spend, you’ll get the chance to win one of 60 lucky draw prizes. In addition, Central Village is offering a cashback promotion of a whopping maximum of 20% back from participating credit cards! And finally, there’s a promotion for Mastercard users with credit cards issued outside of Thailand: spend B2,500 to receive a B200 food voucher and spend B5,000 to get a B500 shopping voucher!

While you’re picking up gifts (and maybe some cheeky stocking stuffers for yourself), make sure to refuel and check out the outdoor food truck market and listen to live music while you nosh! Alternatively, Central Village has a very large food court with tons of choices, plus a wide selection of Thai and international restaurants and cafes such as A Pink Rabbit Cake Cafe + Palette, Fresh Me, Hannari Cafe de Kyoto, Laem Charoen Seafood, Lao Yuan, Tiew Kai Ta Lueng, The Barrel, Starbucks, Sushi Hiro, Swensen’s and Food Village, and more!

Happy shopping, friends!
