like in Bangkok you can walk from one shopping mall to another without ever even going outside.<\/p>\n<p>Berjaya Times Square mall is enormous, and you will find that a lot of tourists inside are carrying maps of the mall as it&#8217;s so easy to get lost.<\/p>\n<p>For more luxurious shopping Kuala Lumpur CC mall underneath the famous Petronas Towers is the place to go, a place where I found myself surrounded by cat walk models on a shopping spree &#8211; this mall is worth a visit just to see the towers themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The most famous malls are Bukit Bintang Plaza, Low Yatm Sungeu Wang Plaza and Starhill Plaza.<\/p>\n<p>There are also a lot of interesting night markets around town where you can do some more budget retail shopping, like Petaling Street in China town.<\/p>\n<p><a

service from the shops, one which actually sent a microphone we bought via express flight up to Chiang Mai half an hour after we bought it online, and we received it the same evening.<\/p>\n<p>Top places to shop are Central World Plaza (biggest mall in Bangkok), Chatuchak Market, Paptong Night Market, MBK Mall, Siam Discovery, Pantip Plaza, Siam Paragon among others.<\/p>\n<h2><span
