Central's heritage goes back decades, with a general merchandise store  opened in Chinatown in 1947, followed by Bangkok's first premium department store in 1957. Today, Central's dedication for superlative service remains at the core of all its venues. At Central Chidlom and Central Embassy, you will feel how deep that heritage runs. We may stock the latest collections and the edgiest finds from all four corners of the globe, our staff retains an old-fashioned Thai grace that is becoming increasingly rare.
