Bangkok's very own Little India. Paurat is where Bangkok's ethnic Indian community is based. This is the place to go for buying Indian clothes and groceries. It is also possible to buy the latest Indian movie DVDs. Paurat also has a large no of small and authentic Indian restaurants, like - Punjabi Sweets and Mama. The food here is cheap and delicious. My personal favourite is a cup of Indian Chai and a cricket match or an Indian movie at one of the small cafes in area.

The latest addition to Paurat is a shopping mall called the India Emporium.
 

A very large mall in Central Bangkok. The new mall has emerged after the renovation of the Old Central world plaza and is easily one of the largest malls in Bangkok.

Among other things, it has the popular Zen department store. The seventh floor has the Central super market and a large number of restaurants catering to every taste bud.

An Indian restaurant called the Spicy Maharaja is located on the seventh floor. They offer a 299 THB lunch buffet.

Nearest BTS Station: Siam or Chidlom (Get off at either station and take the sky walk to Central World Plaza).
