IconSiam

Another new shopping that opened just recently in Bangkok. I visited this place yesterday and it is a huge mall right next to the river.

The impressive thing they have done is to mimick the street markets and food stalls, so characteristically Bangkok, on the ground floor. So you get the feeling of being in a outdoor narrow street market when you are actually in an air-conditioned mall. And thiswith lots of sitting areas, which is a bonus.

The shop decors, especially those on the first floor, are impressive. Gentle Monster and its sister company that does perfumes, Tamburins, have hugely impressive shops there. They attracts lots of people who just stand there and take pictures, just like I did too!

This mall has lots of branded shops, Michelin starred restaurants, local food and local products.

Well worth a visit, if nothing else, just to appreciate the effort in putting up such a well planned mall.
