Terminal 21 Asok

This guide to Terminal 21 on Sukhumvit Road traces the mall's opening in 2011 and the idea behind it: each floor built to resemble a different world city, from a Roman piazza to a London street with a double-decker bus parked mid-corridor. You'll hear about the design choices behind floors like Istanbul and Tokyo, and why even the connecting escalators were built unusually long. A good stop before or after: the ground-floor 'Rome', where the theming starts the moment you walk in.
