Bangkok Must-Visit ICONSIAM｜Enjoy the Air Conditioning While Exploring the Floating Market

Did you know? Bangkok’s must-visit ICONSIAM hides a treasure photo spot on the G floor beneath its upscale mall exterior🏮. SOOKSIAM, a city of cultural and creative inspiration, isn’t a real floating market but perfectly recreates the lively atmosphere of a Thai market! Dozens of food stalls and handicraft shops packed together, full of local flavor, and best of all, air-conditioned! 🍢 Thai milk tea, mango sticky rice, boat noodles, tom yum giant prawns... Highly recommend trying the fresh coconut ice cream 🥥, rich and refreshing. There are plenty of souvenir options here, with a wide variety, and the food supermarket offers many samples, making it a cleaner and better experience than the night markets outside~

1️⃣ Shopper’s Paradise 🛍️
From fast fashion to international brands and local Thai designer labels, there’s so much to browse and buy, with unique and trendy styles. Girls can easily spend the whole day here!
.
2️⃣ Unbeatable River View 🌉
This is definitely ICONSIAM’s highlight! Don’t just focus on shopping—make sure to visit the Riverside Platform (River Park)! At dusk 🌅, the Temple of Dawn and the Grand Palace across the Chao Phraya River light up, paired with the mall’s stylish light and music fountain show (check the schedule for the day), creating an amazing atmosphere and stunning views~

🚤 Transportation Tips
Take the BTS to Saphan Taksin (S6) station, look for the “ICONSIAM Shuttle Boat” pier (free! The orange flag is very noticeable). ⛴️ The boat ride takes about 10 minutes, fast and scenic, much better than being stuck in traffic! The return trip is the same. Traffic during rush hour can be so bad it’s unbelievable... You know how Bangkok is 😭 Highly recommend taking the boat for a much better experience!
.
💎 ICONSIAM is more like a massive “urban complex,” combining shopping, dining, SOOKSIAM cultural experience (G floor market), and unbeatable views all in one place. It suits almost every type of visitor—families, couples, shopaholics, foodies, photography lovers... Budget-friendly or luxury, it’s up to you. When you get tired, find a riverside restaurant or café to sit down, gaze at the Chao Phraya River, and relax—that’s the true leisure of Bangkok! 💖
