WELCOME TO VUITTON-VERSE

At the Gaysorn Amarin mall in Bangkok, Louis Vuitton finds home, featuring a new exhibit, the city's most stylish café, and a restaurant by a Michelin-starred chef.

In Gossip Girl Season 4, Episode 13, Blair Waldorf said, “Fashion is the most powerful art there is. It’s movement, design, and architecture all in one. It shows the world who we are and who we’d like to be.” For us, nothing epitomises Waldorf ’s words like the new Louis Vuitton store that opened in Bangkok’s Gaysorn Amarin. 

LV The Place Bangkok is a convergence of movement and architecture, and the Louis Vuitton accessories and apparel sit pretty occupying two floors. The mall’s façade features huge backlit panels on the walls and is designed by LV’s in-house design team.

Overlooking Phloen Chit Street, where it’s business as usual, a serpentine queue awaits in 33°C to enter the Le Café Louis Vuitton. The weather is on-brand for Bangkok, and these stylish people—dressed as if they are right out of Scott Schuman’s Instagram page—wait to get their table. Another line leads us to the Visionary Journeys exhibition at LV The Place Bangkok, with a trickle of people ascending the escalators to the LV store and Gaggan at Louis Vuitton, the maison’s first restaurant in Southeast Asia.
