Life is your creation. Siam Center’s re-launch in January 2013 brought a different kind of shopping experience to Siam: over 200 international and Thai brands including the boutiques of some brilliant promising local designers as well as renowned Thai couturiers.

Siam Center

Located next to Siam BTS it is linked by a covered walkway to Siam Paragon Mall, famous for its high-end boutiques. There are plenty of well-known brands at Siam Center as well, and the crowd they are aiming for is young and hip. Open daily 10.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m.

Floor 1: Fashion Avenue. It includes flagship stores of globally famous brands. They will be spacious and decorated in a free-form look that is easy on the eye with their storefronts using curved or angled glass, or clear acrylic.

Floor 2: Fashion Galleria. This floor houses international brands for clothing, accessories, and cosmetics. It has the look of a concept shop where all stores are decorated in ultra-modern style and with black and white tones predominant to make them striking and unique.

Floor 3: Fashion Visionary. This floor has the most comprehensive range of Thai designer brands in the country. All designers agreed to give their outlets a whole new design and decoration. Most of them are flagship stores with the most comprehensive range of product offerings. All project exclusivity. The floor is decorated with an organic look, using wood, steel and copper.

Floor 4: Food Factory. Here is a new trendy city hangout complete with international restaurants and food shops offering a wide range of delicious dishes in an original, industrial style environment. It is a fun place to meet people. Service hours are until midnight.

Thailand’s largest Forever 21 is right next to the entrance with other international brands including Steve Madden shoes, Nike, Accessorize, Havianas, SuperDry and Levis. If you are looking for great value Thai labels then check out Jaspal for chic outfits, Lyn Around for dreamy dresses and Baking Soda for sexy embellished tees and skinny jeans. For those with a bit more cash to splash it is worth checking out Fly Now III, Kloset and Greyhound Original for fantastic Thai designs. These can be found on the 3rd floor, alongside other local designer flagship boutiques. The 3rd floor is also where to find the up-and-coming Thai designers.

Wonder Anatomie

Design is for everyone. Wonder Anatomie is inspired by the human anatomy, and images from anatomy books for doctors. The pieces clearly illustrate the connection – laser-cut, hand-assembled assemblages mimic the human rib cage and pelvic bones, chains of beads sewn into hems run like the spine of a sleek, mythical beast. Many of the designs have to be handmade because that is the only way to get the results the designer was aiming for. These include accessories, shoes, bracelets and necklaces. Some take two days to make, from sewing to attaching the felt pieces individually by hand. The designer, Mr.Chalermkiat said his designs were mostly black before, but now bright, electrifying colors are available too.

9 May 2013

Walk around On Nut BTS Station again after breakfast. I often see my friend on the street but not today. Today is also another happy day because I have many Thai friends now. Though they are not fluent in English but they attempt to talk to me. It is really hard for us to talk face to face but I think that is what makes our relationship interesting. Our conversations are very funny. We use a lot of body languages when we talk and we use a lot of emoticons and stickers to chat in Line. This kind of friendship is quite special to me. Sometimes, I think probably because of language barrier, some of them keep a distance from me. Whatever it is, I am leaving soon, so let’s create some happy memories together, which will keep us smiling for a long long while. I went to Central World with my sister just now, to attend Accademia Italiana fashion show. My heart beats very fast during the show. There are so many amazing people in this world, but why can’t I be one? I want to be someone who has dream and who can achieve it. I do not want to waste my life.
