    We went during the day so not everything was open but still had a lot to look at and lots of variety will have to go back again and look at night.

    It’s a very nice and modern shopping centre. Majority of the shops sells luxury goods. However, the Siam Paragon shops sells various items including more affordable branded and non-knock off items.

    The food court is HUGE!!! Or I must say endless with so many options including local and international cuisines. Prices are reasonable and foods are delicious.

    Will I be back again? YESSSSS in a heartbeat!!

    Beautiful park in Bangkok. Very safe, guarded entrance. Playground, paddle boats and kayaks. We enjoyed several hours at this park. Going early as it’s much cooler, and enjoy your morning there

    This mall very easy to get with lots of great shopping and food. Inside the central store itself, there have a street food market. Many Thai food and other options. There are also a few places where you can get good massages. It’s located in quick walking distance from the train. Highly recommend.

    Visit for the ambience and the food! Plenty of shopping, but I was looking for my grandkids and could not find any shops that sells any kids clothing! Food court on Pier 21 is awesome and cheap as!

    Easily accessible now via MRT to Wat Mangkon station Exit 1. Come with an empty stomach and try the many different street food here from fried dough sticks to moo ping (grilled meat on skewers) to braised duck noodles and more. There are also lots of shops selling dried goods and snacks where you can grab some souvenirs while you are there.

    Had problem finding public toilets though so we had to go into one of the shops, ordered some desserts just so we could use their toilet.

    This shopping mall is about 500 metres away from Siam Paragon. They have heaps of shops to cater all budgets.

    You will need your bargaining skill handy or you’ll pay premium price.

    Some restaurants are very creative and looked awesome. Far more creative than western restaurant or food courts.

    It is what it is! A pumping, busy, loud, somewhat tacky, tourist street in Bangkok. During the day it’s just a normal street. At night it’s crowded, so busy and loud but fun. You go there knowing what it is. You don’t go there thinking you will have a nice dinner or some culture. At night it’s cheap drinks, laughing gas in balloons, street food, popcorn, many tourists, many Thai’s, pumping music and people trying to get you to go to their bar with their drinks special. Go and experience it. It’s worth a visit and a drink or two

    First visit to Asiatique via the complimentary ten minute very leisurely boat trip on the Chao Praya river. Signage from the Saphan Taksin BTS station was a bit haphazard but eventually found the penned area from which the boat departs. Some retail outlets were empty but there was a real buzz and variety around the shops that were open and a decent number of food options too. Had to wait about 25 minutes for the return boat as a river dinner cruise boat was using what appeared to be the only dock but a good effort by the crew to board 400 passengers in the rain!

    My main goal in visiting Iconsiam was to marvel at the architecture of the building. I didn't think I could afford anything, but was wrong. While there are many high-end shops, there are also more affordable ones scattered around the building.

    If you are not in the mood to shop, you can wander around Sook Siam at the basement and check out all the street food. You can also go to the viewing decks and marvel at the view of the river and the surrounding buildings. Check out the balcony of the Starbucks on the seventh floor or the Apple Store.

    If you're planning to meet someone at this mall, then give yourself plenty of time, as it may take you a few minutes to get your bearings!

    Positioned at the corner of a major intersection with foreigners and locals passing each day. Just a stone throw away from Grand Hyatt Erawan and Central World. The shrine is lit most days and it’s customary to see golden elephants, orange flower arrangements, praying and dancing. I believe they sell birds as well. Absolutely gorgeous!

    I have probably walked by the BACC 50 times but never stopped in -- my loss. What a beautiful display of artwork!
    The building is 9 stories tall, very open, and filled with interesting pieces of art, some of which are quite large. The building has a very open feeling about it and there are quite a few small cafes, coffee shops and tiny stores on the lower levels. And there is no entrance fee!
    Definitely worth checking out and I always enjoy supporting the small local shops. You will find some unique gifts here.

    One of the newest Temples in Bangkok and very impressive. I'm a sucker for temples and this Buddha statue is amazing.
    Don't forget to visit all floors so you don't miss out on all artifacts on display and the Emerald statue on top floor.
