Have you wondered why they ask you to take minimal luggage when you travel to Bangkok? Yes, you are right. That's because your luggage is going to be too heavy when you go back home after days of shopping! If you are looking for great shopping malls in Bangkok, here is a great list.
If you were wondering why Siam Paragon is topping this list- here you go with all the possible answers. These shopping malls are surely one of the most popular ones in Bangkok for a number of reasons. It houses a good number of high-end fashion brands, a 16-screen Cineplex and a mind-blowing selection of international cuisine. Not only that, but it also houses the largest aquarium in Southeast Asia. Thus, this mall is not just serving your shopping needs, but also fulfills your dining and entertainment needs in style. The main floor houses brands such as Chanel, Cartier, and Versace while the first floor (Fashion Venue) houses many high-end brands such as Coach, Furla, and Swarovski. Passing the second and third floors which also house several international brands, one can then reach the fourth floor that is called the 'IT World' and then you find the fifth floor taken up by the mall's large size theatres and exhibition halls.
Icon Siam is also another great shopping mall you find in Bangkok that truly has an international touch. There are over 500 shops and 100 restaurants that belong to more than 30 diverse countries in the world. This is the main reason why this mall is called the 'Mother of All Malls' too. Not being second to Siam Paragon, Icon Siam is also serving the high-end shopaholics in the city with its admirable collections of high-end brands. To make every shopping experience at Icon Siam memorable, there is an indoor floating market, an art gallery, an exhibition hall and a peaceful riverside location, strategically established by the creators. If you are in Bangkok for a short business tour and staying somewhere like the Chatrium Residence Riverside Bangkok, it will just take around 10 minutes to visit this amazing mall.
If someone says CentralWorld Bangkok is the most favourite shopping mall among the guests at any serviced apartment in Bangkok or a hotel nearby, that's more than accurate because it's a fact!
