History

MBK Center was the largest shopping mall in Asia when it opened on 7 February, 1985. It is on land leased from the adjacent Chulalongkorn University. This lease was renewed in 2013. MBK was named after the parents of the developer Sirichai Bulakul, Mah and Boonkrong, whose statues are found on the ground floor. On the seventh floor, it used to be MBK Hall (now the location of SF Cinema 8 Cinemas) a concert hall for popular Thai and foreign singers in the 1980s and 1990s.
