ICONSIAM

ไอคอนสยาม

A huge riverside mall on the west bank of the Chao Phraya; its basement Sook Siam brings Thailand's 77-province floating markets indoors, and the riverside plaza hosts New Year's Eve fireworks.

ICONSIAM opened in 2018 on the west bank of the Chao Phraya. With a floor area of 525,000 square metres, it is one of Thailand's largest malls, housing more than 500 brands, Thailand's first Apple Store and the Siam Takashimaya department store. Its most distinctive feature is the Sook Siam food hall on the G floor, which brings snacks and handicrafts from Thailand's 77 provinces into an indoor floating market, complete with wooden boats, bamboo stalls and waterway set design. Here you can sample boat noodles, northern Thai sausage, grilled fish and coconut ice cream all in one place, at prices far cheaper than mall restaurants. The riverside plaza, River Park, hosts multimedia fountain shows every evening (around 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m.), with views across to the Bangkok skyline. On 31 December it is the main venue for Bangkok's New Year's Eve fireworks. The mall also has the ICONSIAM art gallery and the Tribeca viewpoint restaurant on the top floor. Getting there: take the BTS Gold Line directly to Charoen Nakhon station, or take the free shuttle boat (about 5 minutes) from Sathorn Pier beside BTS Saphan Taksin station. The boat crossing is an experience in itself, and the free boats can also link ICONSIAM with the Asiatique night market across the river. Note that the mall opens at 10 a.m., and Sook Siam is crowded at lunchtime. On New Year's Eve the riverside gets extremely crowded, so claim your spot several hours in advance.
