ICONSIAM is the ultimate shopping destination on Bangkok River. The all-in-one complex, located on the bank of Chao Phraya River is an architectural wonder. The design of the two retail complexes are inspired by cultural values and beliefs tied to the Chao Phraya River, including the 'krathong' and 'baisri: The ICONSIAM building is a highly modern building that mimics the way a krathong is folded, translating traditional Thai design signatures to modern interpretations.
There are many photography opportunities here, from the futuristic interior design, or the traditional floating market recreated inside, the
architecture view from the exterior, the view of the river and Saphan taksin from the outside terrace or from the rooftop at Tasana Nakorn Terrace on the 6th floor.
It's a paradise for shopping if you're looking for famous brands, there's a top notch cinema complex, tons of food options, and a water fountain show at 6.30pm, 8pm and 9pm everyday.
On the other side of the river opposite Icon Siam, you can find River City Bangkok, a hub of authentic antique and decorative item shops, which include the Museum of Digital Art Bangkok (MODA) where you can see great exhibitions and the whole museum is great for abstract and artsy photographies.
From the pier in front of ICON SIAM, you can depart for a dinner cruise such as Saffron dinner cruise : cocktail, dinner and live entertainment all included!
