MBK Center (Thai: เอ็มบีเค เซ็นเตอร์), previously known as Mahbunkhrong Center (Thai: มาบุญครอง เซ็นเตอร์, RTGS: Mabunkhrong, pronounced [māː.būn.kʰrɔ̄ːŋ]), is a large shopping mall in Bangkok, Thailand.[1] At eight storeys, the center contains around 2,000 shops, restaurants and service outlets.[2]

In 2009, MBK Center management reported daily visitor numbers of more than 100,000, half of whom were young Thai people and a third foreign visitors.[3]

History

MBK Center was the largest shopping mall in Asia when it opened on 7 February 1985. It is on land leased from the adjacent Chulalongkorn University. This lease was renewed in 2013.[citation needed] MBK was named after the parents of the developer Sirichai Bulakul, Mah and Boonkrong, whose statues are found on the ground floor.
