Siam Paragon
Overview
Siam Paragon (สยามพารากอน) is Bangkok’s premier luxury shopping destination and a global lifestyle landmark located in the heart of the Siam district. Since opening on December 9, 2005, it has established itself as Thailand’s most prestigious shopping address, combining world-class luxury retail with entertainment, dining, and cultural experiences under one climate-controlled roof.
The mall spans approximately 500,000 sqm across 10 floors, housing 300+ luxury brands, 700+ dining establishments, SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World, a 16-screen Paragon Cineplex with Thailand’s largest IMAX screen, and the recently opened NEXTOPIA sustainability experience. A THB 3 billion transformation completed in 2024—the largest renovation since opening—added EATELIER dining, NEXTOPIA experiential space, and MELAND edutainment destination.
Owned by Siam Piwat Group (joint venture with The Mall Group), Siam Paragon anchors the OneSiam precinct alongside Siam Center and Siam Discovery, all connected by covered skywalks to BTS Siam station.
