And while you're there, check out "No Problem" for some clever t-shirts. 3rd floor, Room 3c-29 MBK. The good news is, coming up ONE of the escalators (central part), they're at the immediate top, to the left (i.e., NOT in the warren of shops back in the clothes section). Have some clever designs, anywhere from 99 to 185 baht (small to a true xxl) for a nice T. Make some good presents for those "obligations" back home.

Never had a problem getting to MBK by taxi myself. I personally think the traffic chaos issue is overplayed in Bangkok. The only time I've seen the traffic really bad is when there is a downpour (that tends to snarl up the main roads, true), or at rush hour on a Friday evening, particularly when that Friday is the monthly pay day.
Maybe I've been lucky, but I've taken a cab from Suk 11 to MBK at least 20 times (weekdays, weekends) over the last year and the trip has never taken more than 10-15 minutes.
But I defer to Mr Alan's greater wisdom, even if it is gained from Google.
PS. thanks for the phone numbers of MBK MacDonald stores, Mr Alan. Invaluable. I've made a note of them in my 'Handy Hints for BKK Visit Bumper Book', just in case.
I have been to the MBK many times. I just copied and pasted the information about the MBK restaurants which included the phone numbers and locations. I didn't have to use Google since I had the MBK website bookmarked from a few years back when I was looking for a camera store there.
I guess you really like taxis, so I don't think we can settle this. But since one can already go directly from the BTS platform at National Stadium into the MBK without walking downstairs, I don't know what else you can ask for? Maybe you want the BTS train car to open up right inside the middle of MBK?

"Or do I stick to the food court in Royal Garden plaza in Pattaya?"
How do you plan to go from MBK to RGP?
You take a walk? You take a taxi? You take the BTS? You take a learjet?
What kind of bullshit question is this??????
And incase you mean something else; No, MBK is nothing like RGP on a freelancer base. As a newbie you can forget about MBK, unless you want to go shopping.

Report from Bangkok Post dated Wednesday 17 October 2007 :-
MBK to invest B2bn after renewal - Renovation, property project planned
===========================================
MBK Plc, the operator of Mah Boonkrong Shopping Centre, plans to spend two billion baht on renovation and new projects after obtaining a renewal of its lease contract from the land owner, Chulalongkorn University. The budget is higher than the previously planned sum of 1.2 billion baht.
President Suvait Theeravachirakul said that about 500-600 million baht would be spent renovating the Pathumwan Princess Hotel from 2008 to 2012 and on the complex's facilities.
He said that all renovations of the shopping centre, office tower, hotel and car park, which cover 270,800 square metres, were expected to be completed by 2018.
MBK has committed to paying a leasing fee totalling 25.31 billion baht to the university for a 20-year renewal contract, starting in April 2013.
According to Mr Suvait, the high fee could cut MBK's operating profit and prompt it to develop more hotels and properties to offset the lower profit.
Currently, revenue from the retail business accounts for 30% of MBK's total income while the hotel business _ the Pathumwan Princess Hotel, Sheraton Krabi Beach Resort and Royal Princess Ranong Hotel _ contributes 18% and the remaining 52% is from rice trading, property and other businesses.
Mr Suvait expects the hotel business to account for 25-30% of total revenue within the next five years, while revenue from property is forecast to double to 10% during the period.
To achieve the goal, MBK would spend one billion baht of the two-billion-baht investment budget to develop a high-end single housing project in Pathum Thani. Construction would start by the end of this year and would be completed within five years.
Banterng Tantivit, the company's chairman, said a feasibility study was under way to turn the eight-storey MBK tower, located in the compound of the shopping complex, into a new hotel in order to generate a higher return.
MBK estimates its sales for fiscal 2007, ending in July 2008, to rise by 7% from the previous fiscal year.
It has leased the prime plot from Chulalongkorn University since 1983 and will pay a total of 1.8 billion baht over the life of the original 30-year contract.
Yesterday, the company signed the renewal contract with the university and made the first payment of 2.51 billion baht. The remaining 22.86 billion would be divided into 20 annual instalments. It recently issued warrants worth three billion baht to raise funds for the payment.
