Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to study Chinese tourists attitudes and shopping behaviors
toward two famous shopping centers in Bangkok: Siam Paragon and Central World. The research studied 400 Chinese tourists who had shopping experience at both shopping centers. The data was collected
by a questionnaire and accidental sampling method was employed. The findings of the research revealed that Chinese tourists with different ages, education levels, occupations and personal monthly income
levels had different tourist shopping behaviors. The study further revealed that Chinese tourists attitudes toward the products, accessibility of location and sales promotions at Siam Paragon were better than
those of Central World. In contrast, the overall ratings of the reasonableness and attractiveness of
price, brand equity and service environment at Central World were higher than those of Siam Paragon.

service environment at both shopping centers positively affected tourist satisfaction. Meanwhile, Chinese tourists attitudes toward sales promotion and the service environment at Central World positively
affected tourist satisfaction. Lastly, Chinese tourists level of satisfaction at both Siam Paragon and Central World positively affected their brand loyalty.
