Don't retire in Bangkok as there ain't nothing to do save for drinking coffee is Starbucks in places like T21. Mind you, the views are pretty cool and you do get the odd nice lady to photograph.
There are better malls for the kinds of shops and bargains, Seacon Square being one of my favorites. But this place is full of great photo hot-spots.
Terminal 21 is right next to the BTS Skytrain station at Asok. For Thailand it is pretty high end as it is full of quite a few brand name stores like H&M. Loads of nice places to at such as Fuji for your Japanese food, MK the suki restaurant chain, KFC, Swensen's and so on, but there are also a few cheaper places like the Pier 21 Food court where you can get a decent slap up for like 50 Baht.
