Siam Paragon Bangkok | Siam Paragon
Siam Paragon Bangkok is Bangkok's premier shopping mall. To call it a shopping "mall" is demeaning because it is a show case of the best products on the market. The Paragon Department Store in Bangkok is your standard department store offering women's and men's fashion, sports goods, electical goods and the standard sections one would find in a department store, but prices will be higher than if you shopped around and went to other malls such as Central Department Store. The "mall" section of Siam Paragon is made up of hundreds of different stores and shops carrying high end brand names such as Gucci, Bulgari, Paul Smith, Jimmy Choo, BMW, Porche and many many more. If you wanted to buy a Ferrari, and compare it to a Hummer, both will probably be on display at Siam Paragon. |

Where Is Siam Paragon?
The Siam Paragon is easy to get to by the Bangkok Skytrain system. Just get to Siam station and when you get off, you can walk almost straight into the shopping mall from one of two entrances.
Follow the exit signs from the skytrain which will point you in the right direction
.
You'll find that as with many department stores and other areas of Bangkok, there is security at each entrance which consists of a walk through metal detector similar to those at an airport. The difference being that they rarely take any notice of any buzzing sounds when they go off and only sometimes peak into a person's bag. The security is not necessary when exiting.

Why Go To Siam Paragon?
You go to Siam Paragon if you have a lot of money to spend on exotic goods and hugely expensive items of jewelry, cars, watches and clothing because Siam Paragon is home to such high end stores as Jimmy Choo, Gucci, Burberry and Bugari just to name a few.If you are not there to spend a fortune, or you don't have a fortune to spend, then you are more likely to go and take a look at those things and then saunter off to one of the many, many restaurants or cafes ( there are at least 5 Starbucks cafes ), or to see a movie at one of the many movie theaters available. If a movie doesn't tickle your fancy, go bowling or even visit Siam Ocean World.
Siam Ocean World / Basement
Starting in the basement of Siam Paragon, you can find various sections which lead into the car park. Some of these sections cover key cutting and shoe repair services, or flower shops, massage parlours and even a post office
The basement of The Siam Paragon Shopping Mall in Bangkok consists primarily of Siam Ocean World which is a huge walk-through aquarium and is a great place to take the kids to have a look at aquatic life such as sharks, manta rays, eels, turtles and many other species. Unfortunately Ocean World operates a double pricing policy. Thais pay much less than tourists or non-Thais and they cover this up by writing the amount in Thai script so you won't know.
Below's image shows the prices as shown at Siam Paragon's Ocean World but I've added the English in yellow below the Thai script. You can see just how much more expensive it it for visitors. I'm surprised to see this double pricing at a place that sells the world's top cars to rich Thais as 3 to 4 times what you'd pay in Australia, the USA or UK (an Astin Martin on sale in the UK for 9,000,000 Baht costs 55,000,000 Baht in Thailand) and yet these same people are charged so much less for a visit to see a few fish.

The Ground Floor
The first floor or ground floor of Siam Paragon is all about food and banks. Here you'll find the very well stocked but pricey supermarket, restaurants, a Thai food court and various food outlets such as Burger King, McDonalds, Au Bon Pain, MOS Burger, Subway and a plethora of other restaurants and stalls selling cakes, snacks and much more. It gets very, very busy from about 11.30 am onwards so if you want a quiet time, get there when it opens at 10 a.m
 |
 |
| Plenty of restaurants on the ground floor | Siam Paragon is a great place to to eat |

On the same floor, you can find a few banks which will be open at the weekends. You can exchange money at these banks and perform money transfers and standard banking transactions. There are at least four different banks including Bangkok Bank and Kasikorn Bank, two of Thailand's biggest banks.

Still on the ground floor but in a quieter section, you can find up-market Japanese and Chinese restaurants, as well as Le Notre, Tony Romas and The Oriental Deli.
This level is also a good place to find spa products from different manufacturers but they can be expensive.
TIP: If you are hungry and haven't yet tried a MOS burger, take the opportunity to eat one of the best burgers going. MOS burger is a Japanese fast food burger outlet selling freshly made burgers ( and other items ) that are to die for.

At MOS Burger, queue up at the counter, give your order, grab a number and find a seat. Your freshly cooked burgers will be delivered to your table. Burgers are served in a grease proof sheet of paper and set in a basket. It gets messy to eat the burger but there's waterless soap available to wash your hands afterwards.
There are plenty of clean toliets on all levels. On the ground floor, head for the back, near Tony Romas. There you'll find toilets for men and women, close to the elevators.
The Mezzanine Floor
One floor up from the gound floor is the Mezzanine floor which is pretty much dedicated to all high end luxury brands. Here you can find the following stores at Siam Paragon.

1st Floor
The first floor of Siam Paragon is more of the Mezzanine floor. There are high fashion outlets and more jewelry stores but many of these are local Thai stores which Thais have given hi-so sounding French names in an attempt to make them more exotic and high class. These shops offer a good standard of jewelry and you can almost certainly be assured of the authenticity of the goods they sell, but if you've got that much money to spend, why not get the "real" thing from Bulgari or Swarkovski.
Shops and outlets which can be found on the first floor are:
| Code 10 | Starbucks | Kiehl's | Duly |
| Asava | Grey Hound Cafe | Nai Chan | |
| Alta Moda | Zara | T-Atsu | |
| Footwork Noir | Rouge Riko | Noriko | Naf Naf |
| MNG | Massimo Dutti | Jaspal | Footwork |
| Fly Now | Crazy Step | CN Cravathai | Greyhound |
| Swarkovski | Shianghai Tang | Porsche Design | Paul Smith |
| Mandarina Duck | Kate Spade | VJC Versace | Emporio Armani |
| Coach | Boss Hugo Boss | Vertu | |
| Xavier by Uthai Jewelry | Trocadero Time | Trex Jewelry | Trang's By Chua Lee |
| Sirinapa Diamond | Siam Tiara | Rajdamri Gems | Le Beau |
| P & P Jewelry | Bijoux De Louise | Jaeger Lecoultre | IWC |
| Gems Pavillion | Dinakara | D'mond Prestige | |

2nd Floor
Life Style & LeisureLife style and Leisure it is and you'll need an awful lot of money if you are going to buy from the shops on this floor. Having said that, not all the shops are expensive but you can easily drop 55 million Baht for an Aston Martin or a few million on a Maserati, Ferrari or Lamborghini. You can even buy a Hummer
Toshiba, Sony, Samsung, Pioneer, Bose and Bang & Olufsen all have show rooms on this level and there are a number of Hi-Fi stores selling Hi-Fi from the USA and the UK although much more comes from the USA. These are privately owned Hi-Fi shops selling more dedicated and hi-end hi-fi equipment. If you want more standard equipment, head up to the 4th floor of the Paragon Department Store and head for the Power Mall Ultra section and there, in a domed enclosure, you'll find the hi-fi, home entertainment systems.
The rest of the 2nd floor is dedicated to a variety of shops selling sunglasses & eyewear, golf equipment and beauty products

4th Floor
Paragon Passage and IT WorldThe 4th floor is made up of a mixture of stores and venues. Primarily, the 4th floor is aimed at high quality Thai arts, crafts, silk products and furnishings. There is a lot of very nicely made items in this section and it's well worth a visit although many of the goods on sale are expensive.
Another section is made up of IT City, CD / DVD stores, book shops and a large California Wow ! for those who wish to travel to a large department store in order to exercise.
In another section there is a kids' education zone where young children can get extra lessons in English, Maths, Chinese, Music, Art and even extra curricular activities such as Dancing, Taekwondo and even Tennis.
Top Floor ( 5 & 6 )
The top floor of Siam Paragon is primarily set up for entertainment purposes in the shape of a huge cine-complex named Paragon Cineplex , the Krunsri IMAX Theatreand the large Blu-O Rythm Bowl bowling alley but there is also a very large theater / presentation hall called The Royal Paragon Hall for special events and shows. It's like a noraml theatre with seating.There is also a "standard" paragon Hall which spends a lot of it's time empty although there are occasions when it is used to showcase the latest products such as cameras, computers, or other electrical products such as the latest Plasma and LCD televisions. It is also used to promote holiday destinations around Thailand at various times of the year
