As a local who used to this kind of shop, the tips when walking upon this kind of area is if you want to buy something, just buy it right away. There are many shops in this zone that sell similar items you might want to buy and you can easily get lost and find it difficult to find the same shop again.

Sometimes there are events with special prices from brands.

There is also an Eve and Boy cosmetic shop located inside this zone. This cosmetics retail chain offers ranges of products from local to global brands at a really reasonable price. If you still have some time, just take a look inside. You may find some of your everyday items at a better price.

Too many to carry back at this point? There is also a small postal booth on the underground floor for you to send your stuff back to your hometown right away without carrying it back to the hotel and loading it into your luggage.

Opening hours

Siam Square One opens daily from 10:00 until 22:00. However, shops inside may open late or close earlier than the shopping mall’s operating hours, especially in the Fashion Zone. In case you already have your favourite shop in your mind you want to visit, it is better to contact them and make sure you arrive on their operating hours.

 

Entrance fee

There is no entrance fee for entering Siam Square One as it is a shopping mall.

 

How to get there?

By BTS

This is the most convenient way to visit Siam Square One. Get off the train at BTS Siam station. There will be the skywalk connected from the BTS at the concourse level right at the exit of the station to the shopping mall.

By MRT

If you come from another part of Bangkok where MRT is closer and accessible to you, MRT is considered to be a great option as well. However, you need to transit to the BTS skytrain network either from MRT Silom station to BTS Sala Daeng station or MRT Sukhumvit station to BTS Asok station and later get off the train at BTS Siam station.

By Taxi/Tuktuk

It is possible to go here by Taxi or Tuktuk. The driver may charge you an overpriced rate but you can always negotiate for a lower price. As a local, I recommend negotiating the price first before entering the vehicle and keep in mind both you and the driver can always reject the deal.

By Car

It is not recommended to bring a car and park at Siam Square One due to its less parking space and high parking fees as well as no waiver for parking fee for shopping at Siam Square One. However, if you cannot avoid parking here, the parking can be accessed from Rama I road.
