Bangkok's Must-Visit Indoor Floating Market | Icon Siam
ICONSIAM Overview: Floors, Transportation, Must-Try Foods, Shopping, and Restaurant Recommendations
ICONSIAM is Bangkok's largest indoor floating market and one of the city's most popular shopping destinations. With an investment of over 54 billion baht, this grand indoor-outdoor space is a true spectacle. Its standout feature is the recreation of a traditional Thai floating market inside the mall, allowing visitors to shop, snack, and enjoy the air conditioning all at once—pure bliss!
Located along the Chao Phraya River, ICONSIAM is in an area prone to traffic congestion. It's recommended to take the BTS Skytrain or a boat to avoid getting stuck in traffic. To reach ICONSIAM via BTS, take the Gold Line SkyTrain (only three stops) and get off at Charoen Nakhon Station, where the mall entrance is right at the exit. If you're staying at riverside hotels like Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, Avani Riverside Bangkok Hotel, Siam Hotel, or Banyan Tree Bangkok, many offer free boat shuttles to ICONSIAM's nearby pier (check each hotel's website for shuttle schedules). Alternatively, you can take Bangkok's public transport boats, making travel options both plentiful and convenient.
