 | |  |  | Siam Center / Siam Discovery Center: Hot Top Shop | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
Siam Paragon may be hot, expensive and trendy, just next to it are the "twins" Siam Center - Siam Discovery Center, also hot, trendy and not that expensive! The Siam Center used to be the first shopping centre of Bangkok, where young kids met eachother. You still see young Thais around making fun and dressed up with such a multiracial style and taste. It's inspiring trust, and it is really great to shop around Siam Center - Siam Discovery Center. Busy shopping! And Sky Train BTS station very close to the place!
Siam Center is done by the youngsters, though it is fun for all of us! I love to go here for the design clothes, and compare them to the hot items on street. I still go back to this one, because I once had some phantastic trousers of Comme Des Garcons in Siam Center. Never found it again ... snobby me!
Siam Discovery Center is some moderner and more clear, each floor gots its own theme. You like trendy hot items, fashion hits, artistic accessories, and souvenirs in all kind of matters? Make your entry here with both of the twins!
Oow,... it depends... sale, bargains, haggle, we keep in business huh? Leave a Comment Theme: Department StoreDirections: Connected to BTS Siam Station Buses: 16 - 21 - 25 - 40 - 141Website: %bhttp://www.siampiwat.com/php/eng.php

| | | | Siam Center / Siam Discovery Center: Siam Center, First in the Battle of Siam Shops! | Tip Rating: | | | | |
Siam Center is one of the oldest malls in Thailand, but also one of the most vital. Situated slap-bang in the centre of what is called 'the battleground of the malls' - and easily dwarfed by the bigger and flashier malls - few know that Siam Center was there before all the others (Constructed in 1976) A skybridge connects the fourth floor of Siam Center with Siam Discovery. A courtyard between the two malls is often host to concerts and special events. Additionally, a skybridge from the Skytrain's National Stadium station and MBK Center connects to Siam Discovery.
Siam Center has four floors which contains about 300 shops, 20 restaurants and a cheerful and spacious food court. Vibey music is played throughout the corridors, broadcast by the resident 94EFM radio station on the fourth floor. Loads of skate and surf shops, together with lifestyle brands such as Monkey See, Levis and Von Dutch draw in chattering troupes of teenagers. There are a number of clothing boutiques with outfits designed for nubile bodies. A substantial spread of camera and mobile accessory shops - essential to the digitally enlightened generation - can be found here too. Cute jewellery and all the paraphernalia that signifies coolness, can be found throughout. Speciality stores feature shoes, hair accessories and sexy underwear.
The six-story Siam Discovery Center was built in 1997. It is positioned to serve a slightly more mature market than Siam Center. Its latest theme is "One Floor, One Concept", which groups similar stores on one floor. Among the stores is Thailand's only Diesel designer clothing store as well as Asia's only branch of the Habitat home furnishings retailer. Loft, a popular Japanese giftshop is also located there. EGV's Grand cinema and Gold Class theater are on the sixth floor
A range of cosmetic salons with attentive beauty consultants attend to the needs of the fresh-faced visitors who frequent the mall. Ice cream parlours, cake and coffee shops provide the necessary refueling of calories. A fantastic spot for observing the spending and social habits of the mall-going youth is from a vantage point of a table on the fourth floor food court, aptly called 'f for fun'. Excellent food for very reasonable prices. On the ground floor, a trendy open-plan café has free Internet access. There is, alas, no cinema in Siam Center itself, but walk through the pipeline tunnel that connects it to Siam Discovery and there you will find - along with a very different atmosphere altogether - cinemas galore.
The cinema halls inside the Siam Discovery Center in Bangkok are very comfortable. There are reclining seats, large screens, tables with ice buckets. One can book the entire cinema hall for private viewing. There are electronic items, various other goods which are come from the various parts of the world. All these goods are cheap and easily available. Do not miss the fun of visiting the place.
Cinema tickets at Siam Discovery are often a little more expensive, but the seats are extremely comfortable. Siam Center has older shops, and tends to have cheaper prices than Siam Discovery center.
