Central Northville – shopping mall in Bangkok
With Singapore being so small, it’s no surprise that many Singaporeans flock to overseas shopping paradises for retail therapy. Bangkok is far from new on our list of places to hit, and seasoned BKK-goers may have already walked every corner of centralwOrld or Siam Paragon, but even those get a little boring after a couple of visits.
So if you’re looking for a new mall in Bangkok to splurge, there’s a fresh contender in town: Central Northville.
The current exchange rate is S$1 = ~฿26.19 as of 23rd July 2026.
Where is Central Northville located?

Freshly opened on 3rd July 2026, Central Northville is a redevelopment of the previous Central Rattanathibet site. What immediately sets it apart from some of the popular BKK malls is its location: Nonthaburi, just north of Bangkok, is an area new to many Singaporeans who tend to stick to the centre of the capital.
The ฿4.5B (~S$172.8M) development offers a new opportunity to venture beyond the usual tourist trail, where lower footfall means space to breathe and new sights to see.
What to expect at Central Northville

Spanning 4 levels with over 300 brands and experiences to explore, this biophilic-themed mall is where to head when you need a break from Bangkok’s heat. Despite being fully indoors, it’s filled with lush greenery, gardens, and natural sunlight, making it feel far more inviting than your average shopping mall.
There are also community spaces dotted around the mall to rest your feet or catch up with friends between shopping sprees.

The jewel of the mall is The Clouds, an indoor garden with suspended metallic “clouds” and a waterfall installation. This is a must-see for those who enjoy photography or want to snap photos for the ‘gram.
Seating area to unwind

A section of the mall features The Hill, a stepped seating area with space for movie screenings, pop-ups, and live music. Even when nothing’s happening, it’s a nice corner to sit back and soak in the mall’s calming ambience.

This zone is one of the greenest parts of the mall, complete with foliage and a soothing birdsong soundtrack that almost makes you forget you’re indoors. It’s also where you can explore Tree Grove, an indoor forest, without breaking a sweat.
Kick back, enjoy the calming surroundings, and wait comfortably while your friends finish making their rounds around the mall.
Playground for the kids

Kids will enjoy their time at the mall too, as there’s Playville, a playground for little ones to run around to their hearts’ content.
This is a 550sqm outdoor playground, which comes with a mini water play zone and a sand pit.
Pet-friendly space

Finally, there is a pet-friendly outdoor mall space where visitors can parade their fur babies. Watch the furry ones have fun at the Petville Playpark or get glammed up in a grooming session.
What to eat at Central Northville
Central Northville features a wealth of food and beverage outlets. The mall houses a mix of casual eateries, viral stalls, and international brands, spanning a sprawling food destination: Food Ville.
Here are some of the highlights:
Haruki

Japanese bakery Haruki has debuted its 1st outlet at Central Northville with a standalone bakery concept.
Drawing its inspiration from Japanese home-baked bakery culture, over 100 baked items are available in the store for ฿30 (~S$1.20), with the most notable being the signature Haru Miso Pan. This bake is limited to 100 pieces per round during the launch period – so expect some queuing for it if you are going soon – but its sweet-savoury, umami flavour is sure to make up for the wait.
Haruki also serves up Japanese-inspired drinks, such as the Kinako Coffee and Kinako Matcha Latte, that pair well with their fresh bakes and innovative flavours.
Sulbing

Most apt for the weather, cult Korean dessert brand Sulbing has made its comeback to Thailand with a new outlet at Central Northville.
The brand is known for its fluffy bingsu in creative variations such as the viral Dubai Chocolate flavour (฿495, ~S$18.90), topped with a chocolate shell and rich pistachio spread. You can also find their Melon Sulbing (฿495, ~S$18.90) served with a bowl made of a real melon cut in half or cool down with the Strawberry Chocolate Cake Bingsu (฿595, ~S$22.70).
Sour Little 7

Making its Thai debut, Sour Little 7 brings its signature Shanghai-style fish soup with pickled mustard greens to Bangkok. The dish combines tangy, sometimes spicy flavours with a comforting broth.
However, despite the hype around it and social media coverage, recent photographs and mall-visitor posts indicate that the restaurant is still under construction and expected to open in August 2026. It is promising, though, given Sour Little 7’s extensive menu at its other outlets carrying dishes such as golden broth fish, tomato fish soup, mala fish, grilled fish and other dry-pot dishes – although the final menu for the Thailand outlet has yet to be confirmed.
This is a refreshing alternative in the Japanese and Korean restaurant-dominated mall.
Captivating Tea Muse

Walking around in a mall as expansive as Central Northville will likely work up a thirst, and there are probably few things a Singaporean craves more than an ice-cold cup of Thai milk tea when in Thailand.
Captivating Tea Muse (CTM) is a newer concept by Thai tea specialist ChaTraMue, where tea is freshly extracted for each cup. This makes their tea more aromatic than the pre-brewed tea we are used to buying from bubble tea chains, so pop by the store at Level 1 if you appreciate more pronounced tea flavours.
CTM’s standard drinks start from ฿70 (~S$2.70).
For the less adventurous ones who prefer familiar flavours, Central Northville also houses your favourite CHAGEE and KOI Thé.
What else can I do at Central Northville?
Besides the one-of-a-kind architecture and extensive dining options, there is much to be discovered in Central Northville, and plenty to do. From sports to games and movies, BKK’s latest mall has your back.
D-Sports Stadium

D-Sports Stadium is home to over 30 sporting activities. Here, you can find baseball, climbing, and even pickleball, which is all the rage in Singapore nowadays.
Better yet, work up a sweat in the comfort of air-conditioning before heading back out to refuel at one of the mall’s many eateries. Take the chance to burn off those calories before your next feast.
Fun City
Or battle your friends and family with classic and newer game machines at Fun City, located on Level 3. Try your hand at claw machines, and get lucky at collectible card-dispensing machines. Rack up enough points, and you’ll get to redeem prizes too.

This 5-screen cinema hosts approximately 1,100 seats and uses the latest screen and sound technology for an immersive movie-watching experience. Deluxe, Prime, and reclining Ultra suite seats are available, similar to some of the tiered seating experiences at Singapore’s movie theatres.
