There are so many shopping malls around Siam BTS station that it is difficult to decide which one to go to. This is even more difficult for tourists because they do not know the differences between shopping malls. I am sure that local people can tell the difference between one mall and another, but to me, they all look the same. Under such circumstances, I decided to visit Siam Paragon, which is located right in front of Siam station.
Siam Paragon was crowded with many stores. All the stores were stylishly decorated, and there was not the slightest hint of Asian clutter, almost like a shopping mall in Tokyo. I think one of the reasons for this is the sluggish Japanese economy. The income gap between Japan and Thailand is much smaller than before. While Japan was talking about the lost 20 years, the Thai economy grew steadily. Japan is no longer the richest country in Asia.
