Why go, and how to do it well
Think of it as street food with the sweat taken out. The market sits on the lower floor of ICONSIAM, laid out by region, so northern, southern, eastern and central Thai cooking each get their own patch, along with handicrafts and local products. If you're traveling with someone nervous about plastic stools and roadside woks, this is where you take them. The trade-off is the bill. Prices run well above what the same plate costs outside, and reviewers are blunt about it.
Pad thai and mango sticky rice come up again and again, as do prawn and squid skewers, though one visitor found the sauce on those oversweet. Desserts generally do well. When they ask about chilli, "less spicy" is still properly hot, so ask for none if you're unsure. There's an indoor water fountain light show too, which lands better after dark.

Sook Siam in Bangkok was truly one of the most vibrant and memorable experiences of our trip. The entire place beautifully brings together Thai culture, street food, shopping, and traditional vibes under one roof — it almost feels like walking through a floating market inside a mall. We tried quite a few desserts and everything was absolutely delicious. The pancakes and tea cakes were soft, fresh, and perfectly sweet. The highlight for me was the mango sticky rice — hands down one of the best I’ve ever had… perfectly ripe mango paired with warm, creamy sticky rice — simply heavenly! The egg banana pancake was another treat — crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful inside. We also loved the rice puffs — super delicious and perfectly crunchy, a great snack to munch on while exploring. We also grabbed a variety of smoothies, which were super refreshing after all the exploring and shopping. And speaking of shopping — Sook Siam is a paradise for souvenir lovers! We ended up buying lots of unique souvenirs, local snacks, handicrafts, and gifts to take back home. There’s so much variety that you’re spoiled for choice. Overall, Sook Siam is a must-visit if you want to experience authentic Thai food, culture, and shopping all in one place. Great food, lively atmosphere, and beautiful local finds — highly recommended! Note- it's always full of people so it's kind of difficult to find a seat to enjoy food. But luckily we managed. Keep cash with you for shopping. Minimum 4-5 hrs is a must to explore the whole space.
A great way to enjoy authentic Thai street food comfortably, plus a free water fountain light show. We visited Icon Siam for shopping and the light show, and were pleasantly surprised to find an indoor, air-conditioned street food market inside the complex. The food was excellent, especially the Pad Thai and the Mango Sticky Rice. The prawn and squid skewers were perfectly cooked, though the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. After dinner, we stepped outside to watch the music-synchronized fountain light show. Overall, a solid 5-star experience.
This was a nice, exciting place to visit! There is a wide variety of food options which have been organized by different regions of country, and each region has their own regional cuisines as well. It is very convenient to see a wide range of mainstream, as well as regional food, in one spot. One thing I have to point out is the price of the food on the pricier side given the food street is located in the luxury mall. If you want to experience ethnic food without breaking your bank, then I will suggest you visit the local night market instead. Not only you will have the similar dining experience, but you can save a lot and spend it on other things like souvenirs. Speaking of souvenirs, there are plenty of stores selling all types of souvenirs, making it a good place to spend a few hours browsing. Having said that, I will not recommend shopping for souvenirs are pricier side given the location. If you want to enjoy the budget friendly street food, as well as to shop for souvenirs at a more reasonable rate, I will highly recommend Chatuchak Market. Not only the market has tons of stores with plenty of options of souvenirs at different price point, it has a dedicated night market with a great variety of food options.
