Thailand: Bangkok: Where to Shop: Fashion & Accessories: Siam Center, third floor

Siam Center, third floor

The Siam Center is the younger, smaller and somewhat dated version of upscale, massive Siam Paragon and packed with teenagers and twentysomethings, especially on the weekend. Most of the floors are cluttered with inexpensive Western brands, but the third floor offers a slew of boutiques specializing in Thai designers, and it’s a great place to get a feel for local fashion. Don’t miss Tango, Baking Soda and Theatre. TIP: To avoid disappointment, it’s good to be prepared for Thai-petite sizes.
