A Shopping Mall on the Bangkok Riverside
ICONSIAM is the largest and most luxurious shopping mall in Bangkok. How many times did you read this sentence in Bangkok? When you thought there was enough mall and the latest would be the last for at least another decade, a bigger one would open.
At least, ICONSIAM is not on the โshopping milesโ that stretched from Siam to Sukhumvit but filled a void on the Thonburi side of Bangkok. If you donโt yet know, Thonburi is on the quiet side of the capital, where the only known landmark is Wat Arun (the temple of dawn). This new shopping monster covers a staggering 50 rai (750,000 square metres)
Most tourists or even expats donโt understand why Thai people love their malls so much. Malls are bright and colourful places to meet your friends, eat together in a fun place and eventually, shop a little. Since online shopping is so trendy in Thailand, malls have changed their focus to food and entertainment rather than just shopping. The number of restaurants and the choice of goods in IconSiam are staggering.
The location on the Chao Phraya riverside makes ICONSIAM pretty unique and, not accidentally, very Instagram-friendly. The little boat ride to cross the river from Saphan Taksin BTS Station adds a nice touch. As the direct BTS is not yet ready at the time we write, you will probably use that free shuttle boat.
You might be a little confused about the mallโs layout if you enter the front door by the riverside. The riverside doors give access to the luxury floors, and since itโs not for all budgets, it looks relatively empty and quiet. Donโt stop here and walk to the back of the mall, where all the โnormalโ stuff is.
SOOKSIAM Floating Market (lower floor)
SOOKSIAM features a vast choice of restaurants located on the G floor of Icon Siam. The restaurants and stalls serve dishes and food from the 77 regions of Thailand in a unique floating market setting. Some of the restaurants are inside old, traditional-looking houses, and some prepare your food in a little boat, just like it would if you were at the floating market. Itโs quite a unique experience and a fun photo opportunity without having to leave Bangkok!
ICONSIAM Central Area
The central region of the ICONSIAM is spread over 6 floors. Each floor provides a different shopping vibe so visitors can find a wide range of products in the ICONSIAM. On the lower floors, the central region is home to popular fashion brands such as H&M, Uniqlo, JD Sports and Zara. Also, thereโs a flagship Apple Store on the 2nd floor. Whereas, the upper floors, you will find many beauty clinics and technology brands, such as AIS, Jib and Banana. Whether you are looking for fashion, beauty or technology, the central region of each floor in the ICONSIAM provides a well-curated experience that enhances the overall luxury and enthusiasm of Bangkokโs major shopping destination.
Siam Takashimaya and Rose Dining
Siam Takashimaya is a luxury department store in Japan that occupies six floors at the back of the building. Here you will find tins of real Japanese products on the ground floor at its supermarket. On the 4th floor, you will find Rose Dining which is an area next to Siam Takashimaya that is solely for Japanese restaurants some restaurants that you will find here include Katsukura, Masa and Tsukiji Takewaka. For us, Takashimaya may be the most valuable addition because this famous brand adds a lot of unique products. Without it, the shops and restaurants would probably be the same as in other malls in Thailand.

How to get to ICONSIAM
Unless you are one of the rare travellers to stay on the Thonburi side of Bangkok, the most comfortable and most convenient way to reach ICONSIAM is to take the BTS Skytrain and get off at BTS Krung Thon Buri station and transfer to the Gold Line to take the train to BTS Charoen Nakhon Station.
Another option is to stop at BTS Saphan Taksin station (the station just before crossing the Broad River). From there, it is relatively easy to reach the well-indicated ICONSIAM pier and ride the free shuttle boat for a short 5-minute ride.
