Krung Thong Plaza

You won’t find ghosts, ghouls, or fake blood here, but you will see a lot of Gatsby-style sequin costumes, OTT Little Bo Peep retro dresses, and 80s and 90s mix-and-match costumes. While not a traditional costume shop, this is a great place to shop for a costume, particularly for plus-sized outfits.
