Siam Discovery's new look after renovation has quickly become a new landmark for trendy shopping in Bangkok. The renovation team upgraded the original outdated appearance and floor design into a space full of fashion and creativity, which is eye-catching.
In the past, I rarely used the term "must visit in Bangkok" to describe a shopping mall, mainly because the positioning styles of major department stores are quite different. But this time I visited Siam Discovery, from brand planning to space design, I was amazed. Compared with the original Siam Center, every floor here shows a very high level of planning.
Whether you are a fashion lover, a design junkie, or a tourist looking for a unique shopping experience in Bangkok, Siam Discovery is worth a visit. I boldly describe this shopping mall as "a must-see in Bangkok" and strongly recommend it to everyone who travels to Bangkok.

Siam Discovery is located in the shopping hotspot of central Bangkok, with convenient transportation and surrounded by department stores. It is one of the must-visit places for shopping fans. The following is a transportation guide and surrounding introduction on how to get there easily:

SIAM DISCOVERY shopping mall floor guide and feature introduction
Siam Discovery Shopping Center is divided into seven floors from G, M to 5th floor. Each floor is planned with different themes and product types to meet the diverse needs of shopping, entertainment and rest. The following is a detailed introduction to each floor to help you plan the best shopping route.
Building G. HER LAB
This floor mainly brings together popular fashion brands that are loved by women, such as Kenneth Cole, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Jo Malone and Rebecca Minkoff. The latest products are all available, making it dizzying. What’s even better is that if your single purchase reaches the tax refund threshold when shopping, you can also enjoy tax-free discounts.
If you do your homework in advance, you can not only choose your favorite items, but also buy international brands at more affordable prices. Especially during the discount season in January and June, combined with the tax refund policy, you can greatly save your budget. This has allowed Bangkok to gradually replace Hong Kong's past position as an ideal place to buy European and American brands.
Building M. HIS LAB
It has always been felt that Taiwanese men have been ignored in the department store industry. Although major department stores have floors dedicated to men's clothing and accessories, once you walk in, you will find that the selection of brands and items is very limited: mostly monotonous styles such as tubular tailoring, plaid designs, and Polo shirts. Even though there are formal wear series to choose from, the styles often look old-fashioned, which makes people wonder, is this for dad to attend an event?
In contrast, the planning of men's clothing in Building M of Siam Discovery is eye-catching. This floor mainly sells formal clothing, with a wide range of accessories and men's skin care products. The clothing styles are designed to be younger, the fabrics and tailoring are more fashionable, and the prices are relatively affordable. It is an ideal place to help your partner choose clothing and accessories.
If you are traveling in Bangkok, Siam Discovery M Building is a shopping option worth visiting. It can not only improve men’s dressing taste, but also find good items with both quality and price.
1st Floor. STREET LAB
This floor mainly focuses on casual brands, covering all the major sports brands that everyone is familiar with. The styles and colors are more abundant than in ordinary stores, and the quantity of goods is also more abundant. For readers who love sports or casual wear, this is a good place to pick out your favorite items.
I personally prefer to dig up all kinds of trendy shoes in Bangkok. The styles of several selection mats are quite diverse and the prices are reasonable! For example, the latest shoe models can also be found in full sizes here, so I especially recommend shoe fans to come here to hunt for treasures. Don’t miss it!
2nd Floor. DIGITAL LAB
In the past, the so-called digital product floors in Bangkok shopping malls usually focused only on 3C products and camera accessories. The content was monotonous and not very attractive to foreign tourists. However, the second floor of Siam Discovery redefines "digital products" with a new concept, creating a small world full of creativity and fun.
The digital products here not only include trendy products such as balance bikes, trendy headphones, and fashionable 3C bags, but also incorporate more lifestyle-related brand choices. What's more worth mentioning is that LOFT occupies a large area of the store space and displays a variety of creative small items that are dizzying.
Compared with other shopping malls, Siam Discovery pays special attention to brand investment and has successfully created a differentiated shopping experience. This floor is full of design and fun. For young readers who like to explore trends and creativity, it is definitely a stop not to be missed.
3rd floor. CREATIVE LAB
Some people may ask: "Isn't there a lot of creative gadgets on the second floor? What's different about the third floor?" In fact, the third floor of Siam Discovery mainly focuses on daily household products. Compared with the creative gadgets on the second floor, there are more Pay attention to home practicality and design. The two floors have obvious differences in product positioning, but they are also full of novel and interesting products. Each store is worth stopping for a closer look.
I especially like taking Wendy to visit these small design stores, and I can find many unique products every time. After I finished shooting the shopping mall, I took him to visit every store on the third floor. He also found it a lot of fun. The products here are uniquely designed, practical and creative, making it a great place to explore Bangkok’s lifestyle.
4th floor. PLAY LAB
When we came to the 4th floor of Siam Discovery, we found that the products here still continued the home life style of the 3rd floor, but the size was more towards large furniture and home decoration utensils. At the same time, there are several well-known Thai fragrance brands stationed on this floor. Although the counter area is slightly smaller than that of other department stores, the quality and characteristics of the products are still worth a visit.
We particularly like the home furnishings selection store on this floor. The style of the products inside is a bit like LOFT, full of creativity and affordable. For example, some uniquely designed hooks are of great quality but affordable, making people want to buy them. But at that time, Wendy forcefully stopped me from buying it, so I had no choice but to give up! I must ask my sister to go shopping with me next time, so no one can control my shopping budget!
Reminder
If you are interested in Thai fragrance brands, this floor is definitely worth a visit, but remember that the counters are relatively small, so it is recommended to spend more time choosing slowly. The overall atmosphere on the 4th floor combines life aesthetics and interesting design. It is a good place that readers who love home style cannot miss!
5th Floor. RETAIL INNOVATION LAB
If you are an anime fan, the 5th floor of Siam Discovery is definitely not to be missed! There is a shop here that specializes in selling various anime character models. The collection is quite diverse. Not only are there familiar anime character models, but there are even life-size models on display such as Iron Man and Captain America. It is full of surprises and well worth a visit. look!
In addition, Madame Tussauds has also moved here from its original Siam Paragon. Compared with branches in other cities in Asia, in addition to displaying well-known wax figures of European and American stars, the wax figures of many local Thai film and television stars, such as Ken and Nichkhun, are specially added to make the exhibits more local. The museum has rich exhibitions and beautifully arranged scenes, which are very suitable for taking photos and checking in. It is definitely worth adding to your one-day trip to Bangkok!
