    I visited this place and noticed that it attracts more tourists than locals, despite the fascinating story of the house and the fame of Thai silk-making. Inside are different sections, including a guided tour of the place in foreign languages (English, Chinese, and Japanese), a cafe, a brand shop, and a renovated restaurant. The admission fee is only 200 baht, and the tour lasts 45 minutes.

    The atmosphere at Jim's in Thompson felt shady as if it's not in Bangkok. The food and drinks at the cafe were alright, but I found the prices a bit high for the portion sizes. On a positive note, there's a rotating exhibition on the second floor of the brand store, and it's free to view.

    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!!

    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!

    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.

    Been to Bangkok quite a few times and finally visited Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World. This place is located at the basement in Siam Paragon, and it took us a while to find the escalator that go to the entrance. Ticket prices are not exactly cheap, especially if you want to take the glass bottom boat, movie, etc. However, it is interesting to see the fishes and getting up close and personal with them. You can easily spend a couple of hours here so do allocate sufficient time for this visit.

    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!

    If you somewhat like snakes or animals then you will enjoy this. For about 5 USD you get in to the snake farm and get to see a ton of snake exhibits both indoor and outdoor. Definitely recommend the show where they bring out a bunch of different snakes for you to see and then you get to hold a snake. They also sell drinks and snacks.

    Very nice place as each floor has different arts from different artists. The art feels more related to religion and beliefs

    We attended a Thursday night event with our family of 5, including 3 teenagers, and all of us were entertained and in awe of the skill, respect for each fighter, and the formal ceremony of each fight. The stands were a mix of tourists and locals - and the locals were so much more interesting to watch with their betting, cheering and engagement. We had club seats and got hot dogs, fries, popcorn and drinks served to us- all good! The stadium was air conditioned so very comfortable even though outside was over 30 degrees. We bought our tickets online via the stadium website and it was very easy to navigate the entrance, security etc. It was a super fun night that allows tourists like us to experience the incredible talent and respect for this sport.

    Very useful and recommended visit to this huge museum on Thai history starting approx 5,000 years ago - and with help from 2 very knowledgeable ladies we had a great tour in English which lasted well over 2 hours!

    English tours are certainly available on Wednesday, from 09:30and they are free of charge as run by volunteers; entrance however was THB200 but was money well spent.

    After all the walking, up and down stairs and between builduings there us a small family run Thai restaurant, extremely affordable and with good food (recommended their Pad Thai)

    Enjoy!

    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.
