📍 How to get to Pantip Ngamwongwan by bus
For those who want to save money and experience a more local feel, taking the bus is a great option. The recommended bus line is No. 522, which runs from Victory Monument to The Mall Ngamwongwan. It passes right in front of Pantip Mall. It's a long, comfortable ride, and the fare is not expensive, at around 19-22 baht.
If you live in Lat Phrao, Kaset, or Ratchayothin, you can take No. 63, 104, 134, or 114. These buses pass Ngamwongwan Road, and you can get off at the stop opposite The Mall and walk to Pantip. It's not far, or if you don't want to walk, you can wait for a small songthaew that circles around there.
The bus might take a while, especially No. 522, but if you're not in a rush, the atmosphere is chill and you can also see the city view. It's worth it.

🛍️ Review of the atmosphere and shops in Pantip Ngamwongwan
The most surprising thing about coming to Pantip is not the IT, but the "second-hand market" on the 8th floor. The atmosphere is like walking in a vintage market. There are clothes, bags, shoes, accessories, collectibles, and even home decorations. And most importantly... the prices are very cheap! Someone said that you can get 9 second-hand shirts for only 160 baht. 😲
Most of the items are still in good condition. There are also specialized shops, such as second-hand swimsuit shops, vintage shoe shops, and Japanese-style shops. If you walk around, you're sure to find something to take home.
In addition, there are small restaurants and cafes like Mr. Bun, which sells freshly baked bread with a fragrant aroma throughout the mall. If you like shops that are great for taking pictures, the Project Bus cafe in a nearby alley (Ngamwongwan 25) is worth a visit. It's a cafe made from an old bus, looking unique and chic.
The food court area on the 5th floor has friendly-priced restaurants, such as rice with curry, noodles, Japanese food, or you can try the famous “Miang Kham Mai Sieab” that always has a long queue.
