Siam Square

If you prefer to follow the sound of live music and more outdoor experiences, you’ll find Siam Square’s streets coming alive in Siam. This trio of malls, all connected in some way or another is where you’ll find everything from food to clothing, trinkets to gizmos, all curated and totally Bangkok. The walking streets that connect them are often filled with aspiring T-Pop artists busking, students in their crisp white-and-blue uniforms and effortlessly stylish locals who’ll have you wondering ‘Where’d they get that from?’ The answer: likely here.

Spread across several blocks, wander through the streets and pop into local favourites like Loft Eyes, Garcon Dept, Daddy and the Muscle Academy and ASAPBKK where Thai brands turn creativity into fashion – from cute and quirky designs to cool and whimsical pieces you won’t find anywhere else.

If you’ve managed to hit up every store outdoors, head inside to Siam Center for more Thai designers, local labels and the latest pop-ups, and then continue to Siam Discovery for design-led stores, concept retailers and lifestyle goods that go beyond fashion.

For the shopaholics, don’t wait until you get dizzy to refuel. The bakeries, cafés and restaurants tucked between stores are the perfect excuse to take a break. Just 30 minutes of eating can extend your shopping spree by another hour or two (that’s legitimate girl math).

Rama I Road, Pathum Wan. Open daily 10am-10pm
