Traveler reviews
Agata Key
★★★★★4 weeks agoICONSIAM has a great food market downstairs with a wide variety of delicious food, and everything feels clean and well organized. There is a large Japanese area with incredibly tasty fish-shaped waffles and other pastries. On the 6th floor, there is a huge selection of restaurants, including one recommended by the Michelin Guide. There is also a large children’s playground, which is very convenient for families. The mall has many designer and luxury brand stores, but keep in mind that in Asia, European brands are often much more expensive than in Europe.

★★★★★a month agoIf you're traveling to Bangkok, IconSiam is a shopping mall you should definitely visit. One of the easiest ways to get there using public transportation is to take the BTS Skytrain to Krung Thon Buri Station and then transfer to the Gold Line, which connects directly to the mall. IconSiam features a wide range of luxury brand outlets, international stores, and entertainment options. The mall is beautifully located along the Chao Phraya River, offering great views and a pleasant atmosphere. The ground floor food area has a large variety of food options, including local Thai dishes, international cuisine, desserts, and coffee shops. It's a great place to explore if you're looking for a meal or a quick snack. In the evening, the mall becomes quite busy, but it's also the best time to visit. The colorful fountain show with lights creates a beautiful setting for photos and videos. The riverside area is especially enjoyable during sunset and after dark. IconSiam also has a pier where you can board Chao Phraya dinner cruises and sunset cruises. The ticket counters for many cruise operators are conveniently located inside the shopping mall, making it easy to collect tickets and find your departure point. Overall, IconSiam is more than just a shopping mall—it's a complete experience with shopping, dining, entertainment, river views, and convenient access to Bangkok's famous river cruises.
