Bangkok ICONSIAM: Winter Lights by the River ✨
Riverside views, luxury shopping, Thai street food, and Bangkok’s brightest winter nights.
INTRO — BANGKOK DOESN’T GET COLD, BUT IT DOES GET SPARKLY
Bangkok isn’t a winter destination…
but ICONSIAM says,
“We’ll give you winter lights anyway!”
Located along the Chao Phraya River, ICONSIAM is:
a luxury mega-mall
a street food paradise
a riverside boardwalk
a light festival
a cultural show hub
And in December, the entire waterfront transforms into a glowing holiday spectacle — fountains, lights, giant displays, boats lit up on the river, and Instagrammable EVERYTHING.
Let’s stroll into the sparkles.
