Siam Paragon (Shopping Center)

Siam Paragon is considered by many to be the crown shopping jewel of downtown Bangkok. Built in 2005 to much fanfare, the massive shopping plaza is one of the largest in East Asia and is home to most international fashion brands. Additionally, Bangkok being one of the world’s biggest diamond capitals, the Paragon is also home to hundreds of jewelry designers and retailers. With a huge movie theater (Paragon Major Cineplex) and nearly every type of food imaginable, Thais and foreigners alike spend hours, if not days, inside this towering shopping world with no lack of entertainment or consumer options.
