I was shocked when I saw the malls sizes in Bangkok, it's absolutely huge! You could spend a day and still not see everything, Iconsiam is nuts

On my first visit to Siam Paragon back in 2016 I was blown away by the luxury stores and auto showrooms. Apparently the developers of Icon Siam took a look and said hold my beer.

Hi Chris! Thank you for visiting us at ICONSIAM. We hope you enjoy your time and please come back again for New Year festivities!

ICONSIAM is iconic, impressive, we loved it. Especially the food court.

This mall was great, we were staying at the millennium Hilton so it was very close. The shops were so great but we loved the food area on the bottom floor the best. The food was great but the design of everything was second to none. It was a great experience. We can’t wait to get back to Bangkok!

My girlfriend and I were blown away by IconSiam when we went. Christmas decorations are next level there. We stayed in a south facing suite at the millennium Hilton and were able to watch the outdoor fountain/light show from our room!

วันที่25-26-พฤศจิกายน จะถึงนี้ มีเทศกาลแข่งขันเรือยาวนานาชาติ ที่สะพานพระราม8 กรุงเทพ ผมอยากให้คุณไปทำคลิบวีดีโอ เพื่อถ่ายทอดให้ชาวโลก ได้เห็นวัฒนธรรมที่ดีงามของไทย

Your videos could not come at a more perfect time. Flying to Bangkok tomorrow for 4 days before i go to Koh Samui. Will definitely visit a lot of these places from your updated list!

Loving the countdown. Thanks again for working for us Chris. Can’t wait to get to Thailand, cheers.

Went to Icon Siam yesterday. It was the most extraordinarily extravagant luxury "place" ive ever seen in my life. The obsidian / gold inlayed floor and walls leading into the exclusive luxury area straight through the center of the main entrance (just keep walking straight, ignore H&M and the others). That section is like walking into another world, a world you've only seen in sci-fi and fantasy movies. But as for the "rest" of the mall, it's also astonishing, with the upscale not-afraid-to-put-my-nose-in-the-air classical music playing everywhere. Frankly, i'm glad that this mall "dares" to remain classical in the og sense of luxury, rather than making everything tacky and hipster. It is quite funny though, as a Swede, to see THREE floors of the entire center of the mall be dedicated to H&M, and several other swedish brand stores dotted around, as if half the mall is Swedish (brands which we never considered luxury or even anything beyond what you should expect in MBK Center). They have done an amazing job with the layout and quality of the stores though, as well as the service. It's just funny to see such affordable brands in the most luxurious mall in existance, center stage. I will say though, the BTS ride in is NOT luxurious lol. It's very slow (5-10km/h through the 90 degree turns), very bumpy, and you have the sensation that the entire track was built in a hurry on a budget to bring in enough customers to the mall (which is otherwise only accessible through the ferry, since there's no bridge close by). You're just praying it doesnt derail as it creaks its way through 90 degree turns that shouldnt be possible on a skyrail.. And there's only 1 train, so you have to wait for it to go to the end station, and back. There's a lot of people lately thinking malls are just useless consumer nonsense. But frankly, they are urban parks, small oasises in the dirty sprawl that gives us some respite from the outside (especially in hot climates). You dont have to spend a dime, you dont have to like consumerism. Use the malls as a park, use them for relaxation, for a zone of zen peace as you walk through. Use them as a brief glimps and experience of luxury that you otherwise perhaps cant attain in daily life. Even the poor among us can experience this, because its free and open. In the medieval ages, nobody but the royal family in any country could ever experience anything remotely close to this. But in 2023, a noodle stall chef can, but for an hour, be enveloped in luxury with staff that bow to him as he enters every establishment. That is a positive thing, regardless if you spend money or not in there.

Having been in Icon Siam a few months ago and MBK this week, I cannot fathom that MBK was the best mall in Bangkok when Mark did his list. Haha, I ate durian for the first time in that little market outside MBK this week also. Icon Siam is just extra af in every way.

Yet, another banger for sure. This mall is nuts, it's very impressive to walk around. I have been to a few craft and art shows there, always impressive. Keep them coming, brother!

Happy Thanksgiving to any Americans watching your video. That mall is pretty spacious. In USA malls have declined as most people either shop online or at Walmart, target, sams club or Costco.

I only stayed two nights in Bangkok in July, had a blast but missed so much. So excited to return next year and spend a week in the city. Will definitely use your list for planning!

Wow that's a beautiful view of Bangkok on your closing video shot. That would take all day to see all the stores. Great Job Chris Thanks

IconSiam is so high society. I just enjoy the view from upper floor outside viewing area.

Beautiful ICONSIAM. I can’t wait until we are there. Mark’s in Trinidad and Tobago somewhere, but keep hoping. 🙄

I so miss Bangkok. The good, bad, and the ugly! If only Thailand would expand it's time allowance from 2 (at the most) to 3 0r 6 months, Love the malls on a rainy day. Hello from Japan.

Rolls Royce used to have a show room just around the corner from the Porsche store. It closed during the pandemic. Sorry folks, now you’ll have to go all the way over to Siam Paragon for your new RR, where there’s also a McLaren store and a Bentley store, and used to be a Lamborghini store… Thanks for showing all the different colors of this magnificent city to your viewers, Chris 🙏🏽 I am hopeful that you are changing a lot of peoples’ preconceptions of Krung Thep Mahanakhon aka Bangkok. Bottom line, there’s nothing to worry about when you visit Bangkok as long as you are polite, respectful, and smile 😊 especially when you step outside the typical touristy areas in town, and as you are showing in your videos, you don’t even have to take too many steps in order to be able to enjoy the number 1 on all rule’em all lists of Bangkok (and Thailand); the Thai people 🇹🇭❤️ Finally, as far as I am concerned there is only one world! No such colonial idea as 1st or 3rd 🤯

I'm Thai and go to that mall a lot and there are many places in that area that I didn't know existed until you posted this review. I thank you very much for all the good reviews.🙏🙏

Awesome Chris! Thailand is way way way ahead in terms of opulence. I look at my birth country (next door neighbour) and am weeping

Normally stay across the river at Royal Orchid, very convenient just catch the in house ferry to the shopping mall.

Gorgeous mall! Sook Siam is fun. 😋 I don’t go there for shopping though. EmQuartier is good enough for me. Maybe too good. 😃

🎉❤😮Wow, soooo gorgeous for a mall. I haven’t been to Thailand since 2018. Can’t wait to visit again and check this beautiful mall. Wishing everyone safe and happy Thanksgiving and Early Christmas 🎄.

Whilst I'm not a big fan of fancy shopping malls, the food court looked amazing. On the list to visit next trip!

Loving all you videos Chris, thanks so much for all your time and efforts in making this amazing place so attractive. My wife and I are planning on getting over there early next year for a recce into where we can start our journey from. Looking at relocating from Australia, cannot wait... Cheers

Just bought a round trip ticket to Bangkok from LAX for less than $700! I can’t wait for March!

I saw you a few days ago in Bangkok but I was too shy to say hello. Hello! IconSiam is the coolest mall I have ever been to. They did an excellent job with the atmosphere inside.

The end was great! Thanks for the video Chris!

Ha! Yan has put this on her "must-see" places for our visit next month, and I can just see myself doing the same chant that you were doing with Hay-lee: "Keep walking, babe. Pleeease keep walking!" (lol)

"It's called Nana Plaza" HAHAHAHAHAHA Ah man I miss Bangkok. What an absolutely marvelous, fun, exciting city. I can't wait to go back again. I thought Paragon was fancy but then I checked this out after a sweaty day of temple exploring and I felt very, very underdressed and overwhelmed. What a mindblowingly massive place

German 🇩🇪 here :) just booked my month long trip to Thailand. I am bing watching your videos right now to prepare for it :) thank you very much and keep up the great work!

It's absolutely huge!😮 Thanks for your nice VLOG dear Chris 👏👏😊😊💌

เป็นคลิปที่สนุกมากค่ะ ข้อมูลแน่นมากค่ะ

You actually make amazing videos for the people so thanks for that

Malls and Bangkok go hand in hand. I’ve spent more time in malls here than I ever would back home. The free air con is obviously one of the reasons why! It’s been a while since I was last at Icon Siam, but it is certainly the most impressive mall here! Looking forward to the top 5!

Great introduction of this mall. Can’t wait to visit. Thank you.

คุณไม่รองลงไปเข้าห้องน้ำ ที่ชั้นล่าง จะแปลกตากว่าชั้นบนของห้าง เขาจะเอาโอ่งมาตบแต่งสวยไปอีกแบบ😃😃

When i was in Bangkok i went to MBK and IconSiam, great malls to be. Shopped some cool staff. Thailand 🇹🇭 is beautiful 😍

Thank you so much for reviewing the mall because of ur videos i was able to take my family on a fun family trip!Big support from Cambodia

Terrific video Chris! I can't believe I've never visited this mall. It's on the top of my list when I get to Bangkok next July!

4:00 Thank you so much Chris for opening eyes. And Thank you to 🇩🇪 . Germany is no.6!!!✨💥

Great video great view sounds Thailand 🇹🇭 big city. Great walking. Shopping. Food.

Arrived in Bangkok this morning! Chilling in my hotel enjoying the storm!! Loved it so far ❤

Love the Humorous Statements you come up with "spontaneously" in all your Videos, Chris... :) its Next Level !!!

Your video at the opening of the Starbucks at Iconsiam was what inspired me to go there.

Nice visited there last month, it is indeed next level! Enjoyed the terrace at sunset and the reasonably priced food & beer :)

So up to date list, nice job!

Love you vid as always, so proud to be Thai, I’m going to iconsiam soon 😊

Thanks for BKK list. I’m heading to Thailand from Canada tommorow morning!

Great video, we loved the Icon Siam but weren't able to see it all , hopefully next time .Enjoyed your take on it 👍🏻👍🏻😊

Obviously, people comment without watching the whole video. There are a few affordable shops in the Mall as well as a great food court with great deals. I rea;;y like your videos.

Yes yes yes we loves your trips thank you so much for sharring

Greetings from Germany! 😁 And thanks for all these amazing and helpful videos! I am going to travel to Thailand soon (Bangkok and Hua Hin), so I am soaking up all the amazing videos!

LOL hilarious ending of the video. One thing to say is there are no shopping malls like Thai Shopping malls in Bangkok. Apart from Icon Siam which is absolutely stunning you also have SiamParagon, Emquartier and many more where you can spend all day easily, browsing, shopping and enjoying the surroundings. However, I recommend a visit to a shopping mall but if you are limited on time there are better things to enjoy and do that are only unique and specific to Bangkok and Thailand. The shopping you can do anywhere worldwide and just an evening stroll or exploration is enough unless you are in Bangkok long term.

We were there when you were vlogging! Didn’t want to interrupt the flow! Am amazing footage ❤

Just arrived in Thailand yesterday. Your videos are so helpful!! Looking forward to the weekend market today!! and try to find some good crab!

Just got back from a 2.5 week trip to Bangkok and I would say Iconsiam would be my #1 place to see. I visited it the 2nd to last day i was there, definitely wished I had went earlier!

Gotta love you Chris 😂😂😂 you sure know how to crack me up😉 NaNa Plaza 😂😂😂 I totally love this video and cannot wait to check IconSiam out this coming February :) Thanks for posting this video!

Tickets are booked 👍 Best regards from 🇩🇪

Germany on 6! Good, good. Thumbs up for your Bangkoking LTRTA!!! We are ready for the List-Run in 2 weeks. Greetings from Germany!

Great content, I'll visit Bkk soon.

Awesome place, on my places to visit now. The Nana plaza reference made me chuckle 😃

I'm Thai and I didn't even know that my country has a place like this. It's a good video.

We had some great food downstairs earlier this year the elaphants are amazing

Thank you for your wonderful vlog it’s my first time here in bangkok when i watch ur blog i was check which is the nice shopping mall in Bangkok 😅.

Flight is already booked. Best wishes from Germany Chris ;-)

Arabica Coffee % is my favorite in the mall!

Thanks for the awesome list Chris ,you do a great job and I will visit some of this places this coming january .Maybe there is a meet up than you can meet a german :) Greetings from Heidelberg

Agree the is mall provides the best experience. Before new year there was a festival / concert on the promenade so we sat on the 7th floor viewing deck and had food drink and wonderful music.

Thank you very for a very nice word for my country. I am Thai. And I live in aboard. I agreed with you all everything you said. When I saw your vedio, I become miss my country 😍😍😍🥰

Another very convenient way to travel is the Golden Line Skytrain. Arrive at Icon Siam Station

IconSiam! Mmmmm M8888.... Newbie to me definitely! Always over the top for sure! They are definitely all in! Takashimiya! Lol inception! Thanks team.... Another eye opener for the Land of Smiles for me! I'm cominggggggggg April 2023..... Thanks team as always and great unique video! 🌶️🌶️🇹🇭🇭🇲🍻🇭🇲🇹🇭🌶️🌶️ BigB

Your making me feel like I live in a 3ed world country. Great mall, I'd be in the food court....lol trying all the food.🙏🙏🙏🙏

Nice vids Chris 🎉

👋🏼Hey Chris!! Episode 6 👍🏼👍🏼another awesome video! You won’t catch us in there 😂 we can’t afford to go broke 😂 no mall bathroom here looks anything like that,🤣 Thailand is our favourite place to travel too! 🍻Cheers🍻♥️🇨🇦 Ok maybe we would go to mall to look around😂

Wow wow wow so impressive! Just give Hali the credit card. I am sure she will love you long time. What no Bugatti's! Great video Chris loved it! Not sure about Mark Weins heard he was going back to the USA for the holidays.

I guaranteed that Thai luxury mall are the most spectacular than other country in this world.

I have my own countdown and I’m at number 40. I’ll be making my special appearance then. Love the videos. Makes me want to be on a plane now. 🛌🇨🇦✈️🇹🇭🩴🩴🩳

I'm not a shopper, but I easily managed to kill a couple of hours in here.. not buy any Porsche or Massarti.. But just look and enjoy, it's beyond beautiful on all floors, see how it was decorated etc. not a normal shopping template. Ate at 4 places in there, just had to try everything :) In there with the water coming down from the roof full of changing colours. :) . and not least the view from the rooftop restaurant beyond the river and skyline in the back ... Holly Macaroony :) in miss ICONSIAM. :)

Definitely the best mall In Bangkok

luv that mall. They have a store that sells EVs saw the Oracat there. There is a great food court.

The most important thing are the people. The vast majority of Thai people are respectful, and well mannered. I also come from a "first world" country, but basic manners are almost non-existent here. Can you imagine a land where 40-50 year old adults still have the manners of a 5 year old from most other countries?

"Keep walking, babe. Please keep walking!"........that make me laugh........lol.

No.1 shopping center in BKK.that's all I can tell.Good luck Chris.

I was there this morning!

Bloody hell! I’d get thoroughly lost in a mall that big. Looks like a dangerous place to bring a lady. 😝 Are the prices still good compared to the West for most stuff, Chris? I don’t mean the cars obviously. Come on Aussie! We gotta make the top 3! Those dunnies are nice enough I’d put a bed and curtains in!

It's not just me who takes videos of the amazing bathrooms in Thailand!

Ayy where are my Germans at? Great video as always, will be in Bangkok soon as well and I definitely know what I have to see thanks to this list. Keep it up guys

Oh my goodness, I'm looking for flights now!!!! I was there before this mall was open.

สุดยอดคับ

WOW I been here osm shopping center

Brother you all video is very nice and I am interested you're all videos.

interesting. do come to Malaysia too. plenty of nice malls in KL

Awesome Video. I think this should be a little lower though as the Grand Palace should be higher than this one. That said thats my opinion and I respect Chris and Mark's choices within the list

number 6 is popular.✌️🇹🇭

I live in magnolias which is connected to Icon Siam and between MO and Icon Siam. It’s an amazing bubble to live in.

Hope you bought a His and Her's Rolls Royce Chris, you cant leave ICONSIAM without a pair. Gr8 Video.

😍My favorite food courts in Bangkok. 🥰Icon Siam, Terminal 21, MBK, Siam Paragon, Central World. (( Thailand’s toilet are always clean! ))

Makes me smile every time 😂, Chris I’m looking to escape the UK (as soon as my caring duty is no more😢) was looking at KL of Thailand, must admit this series has definitely swayed my thinking! (I have been to BKK 8x with business in the past) but it’s getting better and better, my only issue is property ownership I’d prefer a house/villa than a condo 😔
