Bangkok - Siam square

Bangkok, shopping at Siam square

Siam square
Siam Square's first buildings were constructed in 1970 on land belonging to Chulalongkorn University, as a way to provide rental income for the University. Streets West of Siam Square One shown in the map below are a labyrinth of local fashion, high quality counterfeit, cheap accessories, tailors, cafés and restaurants, particularly popular among teenagers.

I don't go shopping much, but sometimes I drop by Siam square - so far I've come back with some cool clothes for dance class and more goodies from Hamburger Studio, as they had stuff that never made it to EmQuartier. I have to say I find this area way more exciting than the surruonding malls (both Central World and Siam Paragon are very confusing to me), check the streets west of of siam square one out and let me know!

Takeway food on one side, cheap clothing on the other. Covered lanes are perfect for rainy days.

Seoul fashion is very popular in Thailand - many stores claim to have imported from South Korea!

Gotta love this one, counterfeit king - anything from Gucci to Fendi prints, lookalike shoes and more...

If clothes are popular, patbingsu is even more - the queue on Seoulcial Club is CRAZY.

I was quite dehydrated and hungry when I arrived, so I made a pit stop at Mango Tango [WEB] interestingly an 18 year old Thai café that especializes in all sorts of Mango smoothies and desserts.

I went for Mango Bossa minus the hypercaloric tapioca pearls - warning! STAY AWAY FROM THEM - perfect blend of mango and coconut, just what I needed.

Interesting cuts and combinations. In LOVE with the free mindset that Thais approach fashion with.

My absolute favourite Thai brand has a cute showroom in the area, it is a 2 story building with plenty of affordable fashion to bring home as useful souvenir - check out their website here.

Suckers for concrete, just like me.

Siam square is a teenage dream, reminds of Harajuku or Dongdaemun, but funnier and cheaper.
