Emporium is a luxury shopping mall in Khlong Toei district, Bangkok, Thailand. It opened in 1997. It is owned and operated by The Mall Group and another mall, Siam Paragon.
It is on Sukhumvit Road at Sukhumvit Soi 24 beside Queen's Park. It is connected directly to the Phrom Phong Station on the Sukhumvit Line of the BTS Skytrain by a footbridge. It is owned by the same company as Siam Paragon and its direct competitor is Central Group.
Emporium is the major centre of the EM district and contains a shopping mall, department store, a luxurious cinema, an expensive supermarket, food court, office building and the hotel that is managed by the mall group (emphasizing the importance to foreign and high level customers).
Emporium is a popular hub for entertainment, food, and education for local residents and visitors. Inside are "Emprivé Cineclub by SF Corporation", an exhibition hall and children's play centres.
Emporium was designed by J+H Boiffils. Emporium was their first shopping mall design project in Thailand. They later designed Siam Paragon, another Bangkok shopping mall, for the same developer. Emporium was Bangkok's first luxury lifestyle mall offering venues for upscale shopping, dining, entertainment, and supermarket in one complex. With the launch of the Bangkok Skytrain system several years later, Emporium was the first mall to allow direct access from the Skytrain station.
Currently, the building has two functional parts.
The shopping complex is linked to the EmQuartier and BTS Skytrain, Phrom Phong Station.
