Mercury Ville
Mercury Ville Living Mall is a bright red asymmetrical building located at the intersection of Lang Suan Street and Ploenchit Road just opposite Central Chidlom. This compact shopping mall is home to an interesting range of restaurants and if your hotel is in the area it will definitely warrant repeat visits. Following the recent trend in Bangkok, there are several Japanese inspired offerings including a bbq grill, udon noodle place, decent sushi and, interestingly, a Hawaiian Japanese restaurant. For something different there is also a salad bar, Burger King and a few cafes. A beauty salon, spa and a Boots chemist for stocking up on essentials completes this three storey shopping and (mainly) eating experience.
Mercury Ville Living Mall is a bright red assymetrical building located at the intersection of Lang Suan Street and Ploenchit Road just opposite Central Chidlom. With this new arrival, the shopping mile of Bangkok grows a bit longer and the latest but by no means last addition to the shopping craze of Bangkok is definitely a good one. To many, this five storey mall might not mean much, but to those, like us, who happen to spend half of their lives around here (the working half) it means a lot. This mall has a long history and it’s with growing excitement that residents of the area called ‘Ratchaprasong’ discuss the construction progress on a daily basis.
The Mercury Tower, which is mostly an office building, was hiding its misery for several years behind a giant grey plastic tarp as the renovation process came to a full halt for reasons we don’t need to elaborate on here. In brief, no one knew when the promised mall would be reborn from its ashes… if ever. And finally it happened, after months of hard work and multiple delays, the bright red building so beautifully presented on many computer renderings came to life and what a surprise! It looks exactly as promised in the pictures. A complicated pattern of red metal plates covers every inch of the five storeys, topped with what appears to be a future rooftop bar and best of all it even come with a direct BTS access, a feature that often can decide the fate of a small mall.
