Korat Shopping

Korat Shopping
There are plenty of Korat shopping venues where both visitors as well as expats can enjoy doing some shopping. Don't expect Korat city to be like Bangkok when it comes to places and malls to shop at however it seems that most local residents from Korat are more then happy when it comes to Korat shopping venues.

No Korat guide can obviously be complete without a section dedicated to Korat shopping venues which is why I have added this post to my blog. I will add additional information about Korat shopping venues as and when I discover new shopping venues in Korat.

The Mall Korat


The Mall Korat is the largest Korat shopping mall. There are over a hundred shops and stores at the Mall in Korat as well as dozens of food and beverage outlets. Some of the well known dining outlets at this Korat shopping mall include KFC (x2), Mc Donalds, Starbucks, Sizzlers, Black Canyon and the Korat Pizza hut. There is also a great and inexpensive food court where you can find Thai food from all over the country. There are also plenty of entertainment options at the Mall Korat which include a large swimming pool and a multi screen movie theater. There is also a rather large indoor parking garage at this Korat shopping mall.

Korat Tesco Lotus


Another popular Korat shopping venue is the Korat Tesco Lotus. The complex in which this Korat shopping venue is located also houses a number of smaller shops, food and beverage outlets and various banks. There is a large covered parking lot for those of you that are visiting Korat Testo Lotus by car.

Korat Big C


The most popular Korat shopping venue for local Thai residents seems to be the Korat Big C. Prices tend to be lower for many day to day items and the Korat Big C seems to be the busiest Korat shopping venue especially during the weekend. If you can then do your shopping during week days. There are also a number of other shops at this Korat shopping complex as well as different food and beverage outlets including KFC and Dairy Queen.

Klang Plaza


There are in fact two Klang Plazas but I prefer the newer of these two Korat shopping venues and which is called "Klang Plaza 2". Klang Plaza is a large department store which sells all types of products. I go to Klang Plaza for two reasons. First of all there is an excellent IT section at this Korat shopping venue and secondly I often visit the supermarket which is located in the basement of the Korat Klang Plaza department store. In my opinion this supermarket sells the best meat in Korat and they also have an excellent selection of farang food items.
