The Old Siam Plaza in Bangkok

The Old Siam Plaza on Burapha Road is a shopping mall in Bangkok’s Old Town. Most of the indoor malls in the area are outdated but are often brimming full of charm, and this is one such example. It’s well-known throughout the local community for its 2 large and open atriums packed with food vendors selling sweet and savoury treats, plus a standard selection of handicrafts, household appliances, and fashion.

Some would go as far as saying this is a ‘hidden gem’, but the substantial crowds streaming through the 3-storey building every day would suggest otherwise. It’s ‘hidden’ perhaps for the tourist market and Bangkok’s younger generation, who normally stick to the convenience of Siam’s megamalls.
