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, the Phra Tamnak Yai building. Make a reservation in advance and request an English-speaking guide (at no extra cost).

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, two food courts and a canal-lined strip of fancy restaurants.

Siam Center
สยามเซ็นเตอร์
Constructed in 1976, this four-storey shopping centre is the first of the Siam area. It might feel a little dated compared to Siam Paragon, but extensive renovations keep it colourful, hip and modern. Most of the stores sell fashion, shoes and handbags for trendy teenagers and students. There's also a good range of eating options, including a food court at the fourth floor. A bridge at the fourth floor connects the shopping complex with Siam Discovery.

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.

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. The area of the aquarium spans over 10,000 sq m, as wide as two football fields. The aquarium also offers a "dive with the sharks" package where you can scuba dive in the oceanarium side by side with sharks and rays, plus a "5D Cinema EXTREME" with specially rigged seats to add a kick to the typical 3D film experience.
