Welcome to the classical shopping mall at the heart of Phahurat – one of the oldest and most prosperous commercial districts of “Siam” (Thailand in present day). Inspired by its location, The Old Siam Plaza aims to take shoppers back in time to the golden age of Siam.
The shopping mall offers high-end Thai handicrafts such as Thai silk, fine jewelry, as well as traditional Thai cuisine and desserts that are difficult to find nowadays. Shoppers can also enjoy many well-known international food and beverages brands, such as Starbucks, KFC and so on.

Gold and Jewellery shops will be the very first thing you see when you enter the shopping mall. They can be found mostly on the 1st floor (Ground floor). Handcraft, high quality, and well designed are the selling points of the shops here.
