Siam Square · Bangkok

Essentials of Siam Square

Often considered as the center of the city, Siam Square is the perfect place for upmarket shopping and business. Alike Bangkok, this expensive district is made of contrasts, where radiates a feeling of creativity and where trends emerge. This is the posh symbol of the city, as Fifth Avenue is to New York City. In the last few years, new luxury malls have been built, which gives a sense of open-air shopping complex to Siam Square. However, the neighbourhood kept its identity and traditional local shops are still hidden in the lanes that expect to be explored.
