ICONSIAM has garnered 13 global awards at various world-class competitions, including the Best Design of the Year at the World Retail Awards 2019 hosted by the World Retail Congress, the first prize in the Best Shopping Center category at the MAPIC Awards 2019 in Cannes, France, the 2020 VIVA Best-of-the-Best Design and Development Award, and being ranked in the top four in the Best Shopping Center Category at the MIPIM Awards 2021.

Iconsiam is way overhyped, imo. Impressive, but not the best in Bangkok....and certainly not the best in the world. There were a couple of floors that didn't impress me in terms of layout and design. That floating market concept is tacky. The terrace views, though...very lovely. Iconsiam is top 5 in Bangkok, I believe....just not sure which #.

Bangkok for me is also one of those places that if as a westerner you miss a little of that "mall culture" of preceding decades then you'll enjoy your time exploring these spaces. It makes a great mid day break from the humidity and you can catch an evening film at a couple of the superb cinemas.

Yes, food courts at Terminal 21 are amazing! I also love MBK food courts.

The main reason why food court in Terminal 21 is cheap which is compared to the others. Because the owner needs Thai people, tourist including office man come to have the meal there, he had selected the famous restaurants in Bangkok and offered them the lower rental fee that why the price is cheap.

My all time fave malls are Siam Paragon(best for groceries, movie, and food), Central Chidlom(best for shopping), Central Embassy(best for fancy movie experience and their food court “Eat thai”), and Em district(if you look for a quiet place to work and hold a meeting during the day) in that order. Velaa(Chidlom) also is a lovely community mall to hangout but with less people during the day and at night assuming you all have been to “The Commons”.

Thanks a lot …. We appreciate your relentless efforts to promote culture and tourism of South Asian region !

My favorite place to get away from the heat. I like Terminal 21 because it has my favorite beauty care, food court,restaurant (HAVE A ZEED), movie theater and clean bathrooms. I like Paragon for luxury shopping, clean bathrooms and it has great outdoor space for people watching . Their food court had a bad cockroach problem at the tables with the fish tanks on my two different visits. Siam or Central are great for shops and restaurants at the mid budget range. I hate MBK- I’m not impress with the bathrooms, food court, or the lack of friendly service. Tuk Tuk scammers are waiting outside. It does have a great place for me to get my nails done. I can’t wait to explore the new malls that have been built since my last visit.

Thanks Chris for your videos. Very helpful in visiting Bangkok!

Thanks buddy, I enjoyed watching your videos👍👌

My favorite teenager hang-out place in the 70s was SIam Square complex where foreign movies were screened at Siam, Lido and Scala theaters. It was the place to meet and pick-up Chulalongkorn University students and treated them at a Thai hambuger joint named "Ho-Burger". Good old kid days. Now retired and spend more time at The EM-District (The Mall Group) consisiting of The Emporium, The EmQuartier and soon The EmSphere which all are 15 minutes walking distance from home.

Holy cow, I didn't know there were so many modern mega malls in Bangkok! I just hung out in Terminal 21 for all my time there 3 years ago.

Terminal 21 and the MBK were my favorites places to go when I visited Thailand a few years ago. I really need to go back!

I honestly just really enjoy the Chatuchak weekend market, for that damp busy market atmosphere to contrast the cool visits to the Siam shopping area. Siam has been my go-to for decades but next time I’m going to give the other malls that were unknown to me a visit… Bangkok hasn’t been sitting still I see!

I went inside three of these on my recent trip. Terminal 21 was most convenient since the MRT station I used mostly was right there.

Great review, thanks!

Appreciate the level of honesty in your videos

Yeah, fantastic Chris this is what I been waiting for I missed it so much especially MBK & Siam Square.

Love your site - trying to catch up from the start- got to September 2020! I love MBK. That combination of stores and stalls.

Another brilliant video!

Thanks Chris and Hayley we went to Terminal 21 ,Siam Paragon,MBK and Icon Siam we were only in Bangkok for 3 days so much more things to do but we ran out of time lol next time we go back to Thailand it’ll definitely be more then 2weeks we went to Chiang Mai for a couple of days love it there we’ll definitely will check out the other ones like the last two on your list great videos as always

You surprised me. Shopping malls - yawn - I thought. You made these look genuinely exciting and worth exploring. I'll be heading to them when the heat or rain gets to be extreme. Thank you Chris.

Loved your video brother. I can agree to most of what you said except number 1.

Thank you for your beautiful sharing! Have a nice Sunday! 😁

I love the MBK. It’s the first time I experienced reclining theater seats way back in 2006, before the US caught on. I went there for years to get the “good” knock off jeans. We just retired to our home in Chiangmai and we need to go back there to shop. Good times.

Great video, thanks alot

Really love the editing on this video, it has Travel Channel written all over it.

The malls of Bangkok were the some of the first things that blew me away all the way back on my first two visits in 2005 & 2006. Especially the luxury cars on level 2 or 3 of Siam Paragon. They still blow me away even now lol. I've probably seen more movies at the Siam Paragon movie theatres than anywhere else in the world (not really a movie watcher in the theatres of the USA), so I might have them ranked over MBK for that reason alone..other than that, I think your rankings are pretty spot on. I particularly love the Kinokuniya Book Stores at both Siam Paragon & Emquartier to kill a couple of air conditioned hours during the heat of Bangkok's afternoons...

A great video Chris showcasing the highlights of your 5 selected malls. Of course Icon Siam has a specific appeal being along the riverside and showcasing a remarkable Apple Store and great restaurant selections. I’m also keen on Emporium as I’ve shopped there loads in years past as it’s never to busy and love the gourmet market. Emquartier is always been confusing to navigate. As far as Terminal 21 it’s also a favorite but not so much for shopping, grab a bite to eat, love the variety in restrooms. Do checkout the Japanese thrones they have special treatments! Very informative mall video👍🏻

Congratulations for this video and edition.

I go to the big Bangkok malls for food and books (I live in Chiang Mai and buy my clothes, etc at small local places). LOVE the Paragon food court and gourmet grocery which you didn't cover. I also like the restaurants in the EM Quartier. Both the Paragon and Quartier have great huge Kinokuniya chain bookstores. I also really like the Lad Prao Central mall (easy to get to on BTS, one stop past Mo Chit), great food and just a really good atmosphere of almost all local people.

Now this is awesome place

Brilliant! I love this episode. I really enjoyed it. 👍 My No.1 is definitely EMquartier! Mainly visit upstairs restaurants. Not a big fan of downstairs food court. I also like Central embassy. There are many nice restaurants, especially Eathai!!!! 😋 Oh and don’t forget Habito mall is also such a lovely local mall in On nut. Great banh mi / Vietnamese restaurant. For me shopping malls in BKK are for eating lovely food, not for shopping high brands.

some thai peple never see before.Thank you for your video.

Great Vlog mate, cheers.

Great Video. I have a soft spot for MBK, since the first time I came to Bangkok was the early 90s. For pure nostalgia value, I like a trip to Pantip Plaza.

In my childhood, MBK was the best at that time. Siam Square area At that time, there was no Paragon. Central Plaza was another shopping mall, where working teenagers have to spend money there. The Em Complex is a bit expensive for middle-income people, so I went there very little, Terminal 21 is where you eat delicious food and pay the least. Icon Siam is a little hard to get to, but good. Everywhere is good too. because there is a cold air conditioner

Thank you for the video, very useful ;)

Epic, perfect, hilarious pause at :48. Well played, sir

Due to my own experiences and memories here my list: 1 - MBK 2 - Emporium/Emquartier 3 - CentralWorld 4 - Terminal 21 5 - Siam Paragon

MBK is shite lol full of old tat. Emquartier the best mall.

Icon Siam is one of my faves, its a lot harder to get to but worth the trip!

Love your videos. You definitively should check Asiatique The Riverfront. Its an open mall but you will find an European style flavour in the heart of Bangkok (opposite to Icon Siam) with a lot of a terrasse-restaurant by the Chaopraya river.

My go to place is Central World as normally my old walking routine is from MBK to CTW and took a BTS from Ploenchit to home. Lot of connected mega mall + skywalk and easy to walk around. Terminal is for when I have the change to use MRT and Emdistrict area is where my old office is. This area has ton of real Japanese owned restaurant and bakery around the place, so I tend to visit them after I have my fill.

Great insight🔥🔥

Your boss Lucas said that Pattaya and the bargirls were the best .

I did my leg work while living in BKK and learned where to go exactly depending what I'm lookin for,. For the camera and computer stuff head to Fortune mall in Din Daeng MRT station as someone pointed out. They have good second hand camera shop on as it 5th floor, but if you looking for a Film or more rare camera stuff there is this old shopping mall near China town called Mega Plaza which is worth checking out. Also JJ mall is interesting but more for wholesale, they do have lot of coffee equipment and beans if you are a coffee fanatic. I'm now living in Koh Chang and while I don't miss the Big City life I do miss the availability of everything, window shopping and the buzz.. here we rely on Lazada for stuff.

Been there and it was amazing.

MBK for the arcade and deals. Terminal 21 for the mix of quirky shops and name brands as well as the atmosphere. Really coming from the states nothing prepares you for BKK malls. They're mind blowing!

Even though I lived in western Bangkok, but I’ve visited siam paragon more often than any other during these three years. It locates on very center so all of my friends can come both public and private transportation. And It’s easy to move to Siam One or Siam Square. But it’s not good idea for driving car to Siam area on weekend.

well i just pause the video,at 50sec :) im happy already ;) good video :) the malls also ;)

Hey buddy: I appreciate your info! I’m going to be moving to Thailand soon!

I saw you filming in emporium earlier this week for this video :)

I love 'Icon Siam', by Jaopraya river.

That food court card system might be so they can keep tabs on the gross take, many malls charge a % of gross as part of the lease agreement. Cash would be too "leaky"..55

Awesome video, I don’t think much of malls but they are now serving so many different things that checking them out can be a couple of hours killed in day when you want to just explore and want to do something but not too much. 👍👌

It’s a place my dad use to always take us. It’s also a place where I had my first kiss. It’s the Original Central Plaza, located near the Chatuchak Market.
