A Day at ICONSIAM: Where Thai Heritage Meets World-Class Shopping

by na tanao 1969

Bangkok is a city of striking juxtapositions—where centuries-old temples stand near gleaming high-rises, humble street vendors share space with upscale eateries, and classic teak houses sit close to cutting-edge modern design. At Na Tanao1969 Hometel, nestled in the historic heart of Bangkok, we embrace the city’s unique rhythm. And for those looking to explore both the old and the new, a visit to ICONSIAM offers a vibrant glimpse into modern Bangkok while still celebrating Thai culture in beautiful detail.

What is ICONSIAM?

ICONSIAM is more than just a luxury shopping mall. It’s a lifestyle destination, a riverside icon, and a cultural hub that showcases Thailand’s creativity and craftsmanship on a grand scale. Located along the banks of the Chao Phraya River, this stunning complex brings together art, fashion, food, and tradition—all under one roof.

From Na Tanao1969, it’s easy to get to ICONSIAM by a short ride to the river and a scenic boat transfer—an experience in itself. The moment you step off the pier, the scale and design of ICONSIAM are breathtaking.

Highlights to Explore

1. SookSiam: A Taste of Every Thai Province

A highlight of ICONSIAM is SookSiam—a uniquely designed area modeled after traditional floating markets, showcasing the vibrant cultures and flavors from all 77 provinces of Thailand.  Whether you’re tasting coconut pancakes from the South or admiring handcrafted silk from the North, this indoor cultural village offers a charming glimpse into regional Thai lifestyles—without leaving Bangkok.

Much like our philosophy at Na Tanao1969, SookSiam embraces the beauty of local heritage and artisanal charm, offering a heartfelt celebration of all things Thai.

2. Luxury and Local Shopping Combined

ICONSIAM houses both international luxury brands and local Thai designers, making it an ideal destination for all kinds of shoppers. You can browse through elegant boutiques like Louis Vuitton and Chanel, then discover independent Thai brands offering handwoven fabrics, natural skincare, or artisan jewelry.

This blend of modernity and tradition reflects what we love about Bangkok—a city that knows how to honor the past while embracing the future.

3. Art and Architecture

The building itself is a work of art. From the gleaming glass façade inspired by the krathong (floating lanterns) to the interior art installations and exhibitions, ICONSIAM was designed to be more than a mall—it’s a showcase of Thai creativity.

If you enjoy the artistic and cultural details in our rooms at Na Tanao1969, you’ll find yourself naturally drawn to ICONSIAM’s gallery spaces and heritage exhibitions.

4. Dining with a View

After exploring, treat yourself to a meal overlooking the river. ICONSIAM offers a wide variety of dining—from Michelin-starred experiences to casual riverside bites. Imagine enjoying a bowl of noodles as you watch the sun dip behind the Chao Phraya, boats floating past as the city lights begin to shimmer.

From savoring southern-style coconut treats to exploring delicate silk creations from the North, this immersive indoor village lets you experience the essence of Thailand’s regional traditions—all within the heart of Bangkok.
