Big C Foodplace Samyan Mitrtown
944/1 ห้อง B1U001 ชั้น B1, Rama IV Rd, Wang Mai, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330
Big C Foodplace earns its spot as the around-the-clock anchor of Samyan Mitrtown by narrowing its focus to food. The edit is sharper than a full hypermarket: fresh fruit, vegetables, bakery goods, snacks, and prepared Thai dishes fill most of the floor, with household essentials close behind. For students from nearby Chulalongkorn University and night-shift workers across the Rama IV corridor, the 24-hour operation removes a genuine daily problem.
Exit MRT Sam Yan station at Exit 2 and follow the underground passage directly into Samyan Mitrtown, the mixed-use complex on the corner of Rama IV Road and Phayathai Road in Pathum Wan. The walk is around 217 metres and passes through a long tunnel with transparent floor panels at its midpoint, a passage that has become a photography spot in its own right. Descend to the B1 floor and you are inside Big C Foodplace, one of the few large-format food shops in central Bangkok that never closes.
Big C Foodplace is purposefully edited compared with a conventional hypermarket. The assortment centres almost entirely on food: fresh fruit and vegetables sourced daily, a bakery counter producing bread and pastries, refrigerated shelves of ready-to-eat Thai dishes, packaged snacks, and a broad range of pantry staples and dried goods. Frozen selections and chilled beverages occupy a dedicated run of aisles, and a modest household supplies section handles basics without expanding into electronics or clothing.
The 24-hour operation is the defining feature. Samyan Mitrtown built a dedicated late-night zone on the B1 floor when it opened, and Big C Foodplace anchors that zone alongside Amazon Cafe, KFC, Starbucks, and Swensen's ice cream. For anyone working or living near Chulalongkorn University's main campus, which sits just across Rama IV Road, or for the student population that fills the mall's upper floors, the ability to buy groceries or a full hot meal at 3 a.m. is a material convenience.
Foodpanda delivery is available for orders placed directly from the store, extending the round-the-clock availability beyond walk-in shoppers. The Foodplace format keeps queues manageable by concentrating staff on food preparation and replenishment rather than managing a general merchandise floor.
Samyan Mitrtown itself connects above ground to the Phayathai Road footpath and sits a short walk from the Sam Yan intersection, making Big C Foodplace accessible on foot from the surrounding residential and office buildings that line Rama IV Road.
