Where to eat near Iconsiam: food court, riverside and around

Iconsiam, on the Thonburi bank, packs several dining areas into one building: a market-style food court on the ground floor (SookSiam), restaurants on the upper floors and terraces along the Chao Phraya. Around the mall, street food is thin on the ground: most people eat inside. This guide explains where to go depending on your appetite and budget, without restaurant prices (they change and are shown on the menus), and how to get there. Information checked in October 2026; check the outlets on site, as part of the line-up changes with the seasons.

Iconsiam's dining areas

According to the mall's website, dining is spread over several spaces:

SookSiam (ground floor): the reconstructed floating market, with food stalls from the country's regions (North, Isan, Central, South) around an indoor canal. It is the best place to taste regional dishes without ordering a full meal: you walk around, look and choose. See the Iconsiam page.
ICON Eats (4th floor): street dishes and the city's restaurants gathered on one level.
ICON Dining Rooms (5th floor): more traditional restaurants, suited to family meals, some with river views.
Cafés and waterside terraces: for a drink overlooking the Chao Phraya, especially in the late afternoon.

Outlets change: choose on site from the menus on display, which show prices.

What to eat at SookSiam

Northern dishes: khao soi noodle curry or Northern sausage.
Isan dishes: grilled chicken, papaya salad (som tam), larb.
Central and Southern dishes: curries and grilled fish.
Desserts: mango sticky rice in season; see our guide to Thai desserts.

Say "mai phet" for a mild dish. The stalls are a guide; check the price before ordering.

Eating around Iconsiam

The mall is surrounded by major roads, and across the river lies Bang Rak. Two ideas:

Head to Charoen Krung: by boat then on foot, the Charoen Krung and Bang Rak area has cafés and street restaurants.
The lanes of Thonburi: our Thonburi guide covers the west-bank markets, which are more local.

Getting there

Gold Line: Charoen Nakhon station, connected directly to the mall; change from the BTS at Krung Thon Buri. The ticket costs 17 baht (January 2026 fare).
River shuttle: from Sathorn pier, at the foot of Saphan Taksin BTS station. Buy the ticket at the pier counter.
Taxi or Grab: allow extra time at rush hour, as road access is busy.

Traps and tips

At weekends at mealtimes, SookSiam is very busy: come before 12 or after 2 pm.
Tables with a view may need a booking in the evening; check with each restaurant.
Restaurant menus may add service and tax to the bill: read the lines at the bottom of the menu.
After the meal, the fountain show is free, at 7, 8 and 9 pm according to the mall's website.
On a tight budget, compare with the food courts of Bangkok; the Bangkok budget guide gives benchmarks.
