( Th Phra Ram I; BTS Siam) The biggest and glitziest of Bangkok's shopping malls,
Siam Paragon is more of an urban park than shopping centre. Astronomically luxe
brands occupy most floors, while the majority of shoppers hang out in the reflecting
pool atrium or basement-level food court. The 3rd floor is home to Kinokuniya

brilliant place to stock up on locally designed and made togs - think Th Khao San

War on the Gem Scam
We're begging you, if you aren't a gem trader, then don't buy unset stones in Thailand -

which they are taken to a store by a helpful stranger and tricked into buying bulk gems
that can supposedly be resold in their home country for 100% profit. Guess what, the gem
world doesn't work like that; and what most tourists end up with are worthless pieces of
glass.
