Siam Square, an Eldorado for shoppers

One of the most beautiful department stores in Bangkok is undoubtedly the fantastically beautiful shopping center Siam Paragon. It is not only the most beautiful in Thailand, but also among the world's top ten. All well-known brands can be found there and the ladies can indulge themselves in the creations of world-renowned couturiers.

Men can more or less realize their boyhood dream with a look at the most exclusive shiny cars. If you're on the ground floor, look up and see the beautiful architecture. You really don't have to be an architect or structural engineer for that.

Siam Paragon is very easily accessible by sky train, as both the Sukhumvit and Silom lines call at the main station of Siam.

Opposite Siam Paragon is Siam Square. Many tourists who have visited the beautiful shopping center hardly know the Siam Square located on the opposite side of the street. It is not a square as we know it, but a rectangular area owned by Chulakorn University.

The 'square' is easily accessible as you only have to take another exit at the Siam skytrain station.

Just stroll through the narrow streets where a variety of small nice shops are located. Small boutiques with many fashion items for the ladies, ranging from wedding dresses to casual wear. You might not expect it, but the fashion of Bangkok is mainly determined by the young generation through their purchases at the mostly small shops located here. You will also find a number of Chinese, Thai, fast food and Western restaurants in this area. Although a comparison with Paragon is hardly imaginable, Siam Square has a lot of charm and a lot to offer.
