Bangkok/Siam Square

Siam Plaza area (สยามสแควร์) is Bangkok's main shopping drag and its BTS Skytrain station is often considered as the centre of the city. Halal Travel Guide expands the area to include Ratchaprasong, Phloen Chit Road and Chulalongkorn University.

eHalal Guide to Bangkok/Siam Square

While Rattanakosin represents Thailand's history and culture, Siam Plaza represents Thailand as a newly industrializing economy. Siam Plaza's first buildings were only constructed in the 1970s, on land of Chulalongkorn University which tried to get some extra rental income for the university. It started with ordinary shops, but has since expanded to a huge shopping area that has everything upper-class teenagers and college students could possibly want — luxury shopping malls and glitzy department stores filled with designer labels and hip fashion boutiques.

Despite the name, it is not a square in the traditional sense. It could better be described as a warren of small sois filled with hundreds of small boutiques, restaurants, cafés, mobile stores and bookshops, mostly catering to upper-class 20 Thais, shopping-spree Malaysians and working expats. Even if you are not into shopping, it's still worth a visit just to see the Bangkok-of-the-future. The area north of Rama I Road does feature some kind of courtyard on the second floor, which functions as the entry point for the Siam Center, Siam Discovery and Siam Paragon shopping malls.

Going east on Rama I Road and the shopping experience continues at Ratchaprasong, an area that received worldwide fame when red shirt-wearing political protesters set up their camp here in May 2010. It is home to CentralWorld the largest shopping mall in Thailand, which was set on fire during these protests, though it was restored within a few months. It gets more quiet as Rama I Road changes its name into Phloen Chit Road in the east. There are some shops and restaurants here, but the area is mostly home to foreign embassies and airline offices.

How to travel to Bangkok/Siam Square

How to take public transportation in Bangkok/Siam Square

Siam Plaza is the most central neighbourhood of Bangkok and can be visited by both the Sukhumvit Line and the Silom Line of the BTS Skytrain system. The easiest entry point is Siam station, right on top of Siam Plaza and in the middle of the Siam area. It acts as the exchange station between the lines, so expect a lot of commuters during rush hour. The Sukhumvit Line continues east and passes Chit Lom station, which is close to Ratchaprasong and Phloen Chit which serves the road of the same name. One stop west of Siam on the Silom Line is National Stadium, a handy stop that's close to MBK Center, Siam Discovery, Jim Thompson's House and the affordable hotels at Soi Kasemsan 1.

The Sukhumvit Line and the Silom Line provide direct connections with the neighborhoods of the same name. There is also a direct connection with Phahonyothin and the Chatuchak Weekend Market if you take the Sukhimvit Line to the north. If you're coming from Rattanakosin or Khao San Road, you'll first need to take the Chao Phraya Express Boat to Sathorn pier. From there, continue your way along the Silom Line to Siam station. The whole ride takes around 40 minutes (but is easier than trying to find the right bus!)

The quickest way to get to Siam from Suvarnabhumi Airport is by Airport Rail Link. Take the City Line to Phaya (Thai) station, a ride that takes 26 minutes. Then switch onto the BTS Sukhumvit Line towards Bearing and ride it to Siam station. As the systems are not integrated, you will have to buy a new ticket at Phaya (Thai) station.

Travel by boat to Bangkok/Siam Square

If you're staying at Khao San Road and the Saen Saep Express Boat is your best option to get to Siam Plaza. It is only a short walk to the Golden Mount in Rattanakosin, where you can get on the boat. The service operates every day from 05:30 to 20:30. The Golden Mount Line brings you to Sapan Hua Chang pier for Siam Plaza and terminates at Pratunam pier (for Ratchaprasong intersection). You can switch to the NIDA Line at Pratunam pier, which brings you to Chitlom, Wireless and on to Sukhumvit and Ramkhamhaeng. A single trip from Panfa Leelard pier at the Golden Mount to Sapan Hua Chang takes about 25 minutes and costs around 9 Baht.

Travel by Bus to Bangkok/Siam Square

Siam Plaza is among the most congested neighborhoods of Bangkok. Combine that with the complexity of the bus system and it's obvious that you're better off using other ways of transport. However, if you're coming from or going to the Grand Palace area in Rattanakosin and the bus is the only way to get a direct connection. Bus 15 starts at Phra Athit Road and then drives over Ratchadamnoen Klang Road (for Khao San Road), Lan Luang Road, Chakkaphatdi Phong Road and Bamrung Muang Road before arriving at MBK Center, Siam Plaza and Ratchaprasong intersection. This bus then continues to Silom Road, so take it in the other direction if you're coming from there.

An alternative is bus 47, which starts at Rama IV Road in Khlong Toei and then heads to Silom and over Phaya (Thai) Road. Get off at MBK Center. You can also take this bus from Tha Chang in Rattanakosin (near the Grand Palace) from which it goes through Ratchadamnoen Klang Road (for Khao San Road), Lan Luang Road, Chakkaphatdi Phong Road and Bamrung Muang Road. Get out at MBK Center as this bus won't continue its way further along Siam Plaza.

There is no reasonable bus connection from Suvarnabhumi Airport. You can take bus 552 to On Nut BTS station in Sukhumvit and continue with the Skytrain. It's a long bus ride and depending on traffic it could take 1-2 hours.

What to see in Bangkok/Siam Square

• Bangkok Art and Culture Centre - หอศิลปวัฒนธรรมแห่งกรุงเทพมหานคร | Visitors can interact with different kinds of arts, such as performance arts, music, painting and film, in various ways.

It features life-sized statues of HRH Prince Mahitala Thibed Adulyadej Vikrom Phra Baroma Rajajanok (The Prince Father), HRH Princess Srinagarindra (The Princess Mother) and other famous Thais. But there are also plenty of Western figures, including US president Barack Obama in the Oval Office and the English football player Steven Gerrard. Foreign Muslims have to pay a hefty 900 Baht entrance fee its 350 Baht for Thais.

• Queen Savang Vadhana Museum - มูลนิธิสมเด็จพระพันวัสสาอัยยิกาเจ้า | The Sra Pathum Palace is an oasis of silence right behind Siam Paragon. It has been the permanent residence of HM Queen Savang Vadhana from 1916 till 1955 and HRH Princess Sri Nagarindra has also lived here. When HRH Princess Sri Nagarindra passed away, it became the residence of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. She turned one building into a museum that honours the Queen Grandmother and shows her contributions to (Thai) society. The museum starts in the exhibition hall, that shows HM Queen Savang Vadhana's biography and then moves to her residence and the Phra Tamnak Yai building.

• Bangkok Sea Life Ocean World - สยามโอเชี่ยนเวิลด์ | The largest aquarium in Southeast Asia, exhibiting over 30,000 marine animals from all over the world and featuring a wide range of rare and exotic species.

• Wat Pathum Wanaram - วัดปทุมวนาราม | This temple is between the two largest Shopping Centres of Thailand and is still often overlooked. While it is not as remarkable as the temples found in Rattanakosin, it is a reminder of the spiritual history of Thailand. Wat Pathum was founded in 1857 by King Mongkut (Rama IV) when the area was neighbored by canals and Rice fields. It was built to function as a place of worship close to the Sra Pathum Palace. At the temple is the Phra Meru Mas, a reconstruction of the crematorium of the Princess Mother, whose remains were transferred here after her cremation at Sanam Luang.

Muslim Travel Tips

• Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel, 494 Ratchadamri RdBTS Ratchadamri, The luxury you'd expect at a five-star hotel, at five-star prices. Most of their treatments take at least three hours, but are famed as among the best of Thailand. Private secluded area for Muslima's.

• APEX | The theatres of APEX were built in the late 1960s and have changed little ever since, so seeing a film here is a kind of retro experience not found in other cinemas. It is widely known for its more offbeat and art house films. It is spread over two theatres. Lido Theatre has three screens, with Japanese, Korean and other foreign films, while Scala Theatre only has one screen with first-run Hollywood films. Unfortunately and the late 1960s Siam Theatre has been destroyed in fires that resulted from red shirt demonstrations in 2010. It was replaced with the Siam Plaza One shopping complex.

• Center Point Massage & Spa | Recently moved from the sois of Siam Plaza into the Siam Plaza One Shopping Centre. Worth seeking out as they do nice (Thai), herbal, oil and foot massages, as well as aromatherapy. They also have branches in Silom and Sukhumvit.

• Krungsri IMAX Theatre - กรุงศรี ไอแมกซ์ พารากอน | Going to see a film here is a great night out. You get a few hours in a plush theatre house, complete with air conditioning, assigned seats and the newest technology (including IMAX and 3D glasses). All the new Hollywood releases are featured nightly, but you can also pick most (Thai) films as they have English subtitles (inquire at the desk first to be sure this is the case). Don't forget the mandatory standing ovation to the King before the film starts.

• Paragon Cineplex - พารากอนซินีเพล็กซ์ | With about 4,000 seats and 25 screens, this has got to be one of the largest cinemas in Asia. The complex includes three separately branded cinemas. The Siam Pavalai is a 1,200-seat theatre and the largest of the bunch and even concerts take place here. The six "Ultra Screen" cinemas are much more luxurious and have reclining seats. Enigma is a members-only cinema with lounge seats.

• Royal Bangkok Sports Club - ราชกรีฑาสโมสร | This is a venue for horse races under royal patronage. Races are held every two weeks on Sunday.

Shopping in Bangkok/Siam Square

Tax-free shopping | It is a bit of a hassle, but if you want to save some Bahts, you can claim back the VAT you paid for while buying large purchases. While buying a product, ask the sales assistant to fill in the VAT Refund Form (P.P10) and add the original tax invoice. The total value of the goods claimed for refund must exceed 5,000 Baht with each individual product worth at least 2,000 Baht. The goods must be taken out of Thailand by plane within 60 days. At the airport and this is where most visitors go wrong, your goods must be checked at the Customs Office before check-in and passport control. You will get a receipt, which you have to show at the VAT Refund Office after passport control. If the refund amount is lower than 30,000 Baht, you'll be paid in cash, otherwise you'll receive the money at your bank account or credit card.

Siam Plaza is the place to shop in Bangkok, especially if you're looking for big shopping malls and small designer boutiques. The obvious point of entry is Siam BTS station, which is neighbored by Siam Center, Siam Discovery and Siam Paragon. At walking distance from Siam Plaza is MBK Center. With the exception of Siam Paragon and these malls are somewhat dated, but among the most popular as they are the most affordable. At least make a head for MBK, just to see where the local youth do their shopping.

The sixth floor has an EGV Grand Cinema.

• Siam Paragon - สยามพารากอน | An incredibly massive shopping mall with no less than ten floors. You could spend a full day here if you wish, as it is not just a shopping complex, but also includes Siam Ocean World, Paragon Cineplex and a floor of dining facilities. Paragon is one of the most upmarket Shopping Centres in Asia, so expect the usual designer brands (Louis Vuitton, Gucci, etc), but also BMW and Porsche showing off their newest models. The fourth floor has a very good (if pricey) selection of modern (Thai) arts and crafts, as well as the large Kinokuniya bookstore. There are some great eating options in the basement, including a gourmet supermarket with selected Halal food, two food courts and a canal-lined strip of fancy restaurants.
