Dazzling Nights at ICONSIAM

The first time you come to Bangkok, you will be scared of the shopping malls in the city ~ but if you don't have much time and don't want to mess up, I really recommend the following 4 shopping malls, each has its own characteristics.
✅ICONSIAM | Luxury × Thai style must-see for photography
The mall was built at a cost of more than 54 billion baht. The scale is exaggerated and very walkable. It feels like "one mall can walk all over Thailand"! Whether you’re buying a handbag or a postcard, it’s here for sure.
Must check in:
River Park on the MF level has moved the traditional water market into an air-conditioned mall with lots of authentic Thai food and handicrafts!
✅Central World|A concentration of local brands
If you love discovering local Thai brands like me, Central World is definitely a treasure! There are over 500 stores inside, from Zen department stores to designer brands
Personal recommendation:
・5th Floor: Chan (holiday style grass knitted bag), Plus Studios (super comfortable sandals), Nature (cheap forest style women's clothing)
・2nd Floor: Gentlewoman (must enter for Thai girls)
・1st Floor: Comma&nd (designer fashion brand)
Moreover, it is located in the Siam business district, near Siam Center, Siam Square, and Belle Palace.
✅ The Emsphere | Fashion new favorite photo-grade decor
This newly opened mall is one of the members of the Em District, and is a sister mall with Emporium and Emquartier, but Emsphere has a more stylish design and feels beautiful when you walk on the street.
Must-visit:
The G floor & GM floor is an all-day light food paradise with super many celebrity desserts and authentic snacks
It's fun to take pictures without buying anything. It's really tasteful
✅MBK Center | Local style x cheap grocery paradise
If you want to feel the real Bangkokese shopping place, MBK is for you - the whole mall is full of stalls, clothes, mobile phone cases, souvenirs, horse and chicken are all available, a bit like Hong Kong's old New City + Mainland China's Huaqiangbei.
Shopping may not be cheap and beautiful, but the atmosphere is great, perfect for those looking for cheap souvenirs or experience Local life ~
