SHOPPING MALL
Which mall should I visit in Bangkok?
Bangkok is home to too many malls, so Iāll focus on the three exceptional ones that truly highlights my journey there. These malls stand out in a way that sets them apart from any others youāll see elsewhere.
*ICONSIAM

ICONSIAM stands as one of the largest malls in the world, offering a grand and luxurious shopping and entertainment experience along the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Thailand.
While exploring this mall, make sure to visit SOOK Siam, an indoor floating market-style food court featuring exquisite designs and a diverse array of food selections and restaurants. Additionally, on the top floor, donāt miss the chance to experience Thailandās largest Starbucks Reserve, boasting an indoor waterfall.
Another must-do at ICONSIAM is to indulge in the Chaopraya Princess Buffet, an exclusive opportunity priced at only THB750. This two-hour river cruise along the Chao Phraya River treats you to stunning views of the historic Emerald Buddha Temple and the Grand Palace. Delight in a fusion of international cuisines served onboard. Conveniently purchase your ticketsĀ hereĀ for this unforgettable experience.
