The Siam Paragon is listed as the 32nd largest malls in the world. We maneuvered our way from MBK throught Siam discovery and finally, found our way to Siam Paragon! (Our SM North EDSA ranks no. 3 and SM Mall of Asia ranks No. 10)
From Wikipedia:
Siam
Paragon (Thai: สยามพารากอน) is a shopping mall in Bangkok, Thailand. It is
one of the biggest shopping centers in Asia. Opened on December 9, 2005, it
includes a wide range of specialty stores and restaurants as
well as a multiplex movie theater (consisted
of 15 large size theaters with one of them having the biggest screen and seating capacity in
Asia) and the Siam Ocean World (Underwater world) aquarium (the
largest aquarium in South East Asia) and an exhibition hall and the Thai Art
Gallery and also an opera concert hall. It also has a large bowling alley and
karaoke center.
Siam
Paragon has become since its opening the place to be for Thailand's upper
class, tourists, and locals who come to be seen and to see what Thailand has to
offer. However, despite its reputation for showcasing one or two cars over
$300,000 each, and some pushing a million dollars, its crosstown rival Gaysorn has remained the most
popular spot for rich foreigners, especially from the Middle East. Paragon
remains among the most popular shopping ground for the small number of Thai
elite (and the vast number of elite pretenders), without excluding everyday
commonplace and popular Thai items.
Siam
Paragon is on Rama I Road in Pathum Wan district,
and is adjacent to other shopping areas. It is
next door to Siam Center and Siam Discovery
Center and opposite Siam Square. MBK Center is
also nearby. An elevated walkway beneath the BTS Skytrain tracks
links Siam Paragon to the Ratchaprasong intersection,
where CentralWorld, Gaysorn and several other
shopping malls and hotels are located.
Just want to share how it looks in some areas!
The fountains as we enter.

| at the food court.. notice Mac Donald! |
We did not eat at the Ground Floor where the foodcourt is. We moved to the Fourth Floor to look for a restaurant. Our friend wanted to try an authentic restaurant other than the street food!

I enjoyed the fourth floor!
As we left Siam Paragon... to where we would find our ride home!
Nice place!
