Best Luxury Hotels in the Siam

Thailand’s former title is now the name for a district within its capital. But rather than recalling times past, this neighbourhood’s biggest draw is its shopping. The huge MBK Center, a glitzy mall with over 2,000 shops and restaurants is found here; as is the Siam Paragon entertainment complex, where you’ll find the Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World aquarium. Local art and theatre are showcased at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre and there are a host of rooftop bars to sample. There is also the 19th-century Pathum Wanaram temple and gardens, for those seeking a touch of history, among the modern developments.
