The 20 Best Things to Do in Bangkok

"If this is your first foray into Asia, you’ll quickly learn that malls are a thing—and ICONSIAM is the mall to end them all. This luxury development in Bangkok includes eight stories showcasing 7,000 brands, more than 100 restaurants, a subterranean floating market, an IMAX theatre, SkyPark, two swish residential towers and much, much more. You could quite literally spend an entire day here. Definitely go in with a game plan. With more than eight million square feet to get lost in, it’s easy to waste precious vacation time here. Skip the brands you can find at home and target the Thai craft areas as well as the must-visit floating market (SOOKSIAM). Also, stop into Takashimaya, a famous Japanese department store, and the only one in Thailand." - Diana Hubbell, Katie Lockhart
