Why go, and how to do it well

Think of this as the antidote to ICONSIAM. Four stories, compact, and rarely crowded, with glass walls that pull daylight deep into the building and make the whole place feel brighter and more expensive than it really is. Shoppers looking for serious retail therapy should walk on. What's here is everyday stuff, restaurants, and a Starbucks and Coffee Club sitting right by the entrance, which is where most people end up.

The dining is the real reason to come. There's enough choice for a proper sit-down meal or a slow coffee while you watch the river side of Charoen Nakhon go about its day. Reviewers consistently mention how clean it is, restrooms included. It's also unusually dog-friendly, with a mini-park that owners rate. There's no grocery store, so if you're stocking a serviced apartment you'll need to go elsewhere.

My advice is late afternoon, after you've done the temples or the big mall, when you want to sit down more than you want to shop.

Reviews from Google

Mini escape from the crowds of Icon Siam. I think this plaza exudes a modern, almost luxurious vibe, thanks in no small part to the stunning glass architecture. The Starbucks and Coffee Club sots at the entrance which gives it a good vibe for me. The light floods in, creating a bright and airy atmosphere that's perfect for relaxing with a latte and watching the world go by. One top feature for me is this plaza is incredibly dog-friendly! Our little lady absolutely loved the mini-park, where she could zoom around and chase her ball to her heart's content. Meanwhile, we could relax with a coffee from Coffee Club, a pastry from the bakery, or even a burger from Burger King, all while keeping an eye on her. Talk about a win-win! Besides the stylish Coffee Club, you'll find a decent range of food options and services. Shout out to reasonably-stocked Daiso for any essentials you might need. If you're looking for a dog-friendly spot with great food, a touch of modern elegance, and a more laid-back atmosphere, this plaza is definitely worth checking out. It's an easy PickUp and drop off location for GRAB also.

One of a shopping mall in this are which not too crowded as the big one. No grocery store to fill your kitchen and home. Parking are available on their building.

A 4 story shopping center, Not big that what I thought but overall are quite ok, there have a basic convenient shops and restaurants. The restroom and overall hygiene are doing well.
