Terminal 21 is one of Bangkok’s most visited shopping malls, and for good reason. Each floor is themed around a different city — Tokyo, London, Istanbul, San Francisco — which makes it a distinctive experience even before you have looked at a single item. For jewellery shoppers, it is worth knowing what to expect before you arrive.
What Kind of Jewellery Is There?
Terminal 21 carries a mix of fashion jewellery across its retail floors. You will find everything from fast-fashion accessories at low price points to more considered handmade pieces from independent Thai brands. The ground floor and upper floors tend to have the most concentrated jewellery options. Prices vary significantly between retailers, so it is worth spending time on multiple floors.
What to Look For
The best jewellery at Terminal 21 tends to come from Thai brands and independent retailers rather than international chains. Look for pieces made from natural materials — stone, wood, brass — rather than heavily plated costume jewellery, which will vary in quality. If you are buying as a gift or souvenir, natural material pieces are more likely to hold up over time.
Ako & Sila at Terminal 21
Ako & Sila has a location at Terminal 21, where you will find our full range of handmade, nickel-free fashion jewellery. All pieces are sourced from workshops across Southeast Asia and selected for quality, design, and wearability. Our staff can help you find pieces that match your style or suit a specific occasion.
Practical Notes
Terminal 21 is located on Sukhumvit Road, directly above Asok BTS station and Sukhumvit MRT station — one of the most convenient transit connections in the city. The mall opens at 10am and closes at 10pm daily. It is busiest on weekends, so weekday visits give you more time to browse without the crowds.
Beyond Terminal 21
If you enjoy the jewellery shopping at Terminal 21, Chatuchak Weekend Market is the obvious next step — a much larger selection of handmade accessories at comparable or lower price points. Ako & Sila also has locations at Chatuchak and across central Bangkok, so you can continue exploring the same quality of pieces across different parts of the city.
