Whenever I talk to someone back in the States about Bangkok's mall culture, I get eye rolls and pushback. But we love the malls here in the city. Here is the IconSiam Mall. First, we took the BTS to the monorail station, Krung Thon Buri

It was a very modern and extremely clean train

It is a very impressive building

Walking inside the building is a bit shocking

The bottom floor is jammed with street-style food vendors and restaurants

It was an exciting energetic atmosphere.

There were hundreds of choices of things and places to eat

The monorail train on the Gold Line to the mall

It’s also driverless

It sits on the Chao Phraya River

We orders fresh shrimp and pork dumplings
