On B1 floor Siam Paragon they have ‘Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World’ the only one in Thailand. This worldclass aquarium apparently showcases over 8,000 species.

They even teach them the value of money with ‘kidZo’ – their very own currency where they get paid and have to plan and learn about money management.
The Edutainment Zone on 4/4a floor of Siam Paragon immerses children in a learning environment and presents educational opportunities for both kids and adults to learn new skills in languages, the arts, music, dancing sport and IT. The world famous Madame Tussauds Wax Museum is also on the 4th floor of Siam Discovery, the Exploratorium. Have your picture taken with the stars of film, pop, politics and sport. It’s not just life sized wax figures but there are interactive activities along the way and the figures can all be touched and make great selfies with.
For the movie lovers amongst us the Paragon Cineplex, located on the 5th floor of the Siam Paragon, is home to 16 luxurious theatres showing the latest releases. The ‘Honda Ultimate Screen’ offers a laser projector and 4K projector or the Krungsri IMAX theatre screen which offers an 8 storey building height silver screen.

With all that walking, fun and entertainment you will need to stop on a frequent basis during the day to refuel and take on supplies and ONESIAM offers a host of coffee stops, dining and afternoon tea opportunities. Check out Charna, inspired by Thai local house’s balcony on the 2nd floor, Siam Center, with healthy food of organic ingredients delivered from trusted farms under the concept of “feel good food”. Or the famous Taiwanese original bubble tea store “Coco Fresh Tea & Juice”. To eat there is every cuisine known to man, but we settled for Jamie’s Italian Restaurant on G Floor, Siam Discovery from world acclaimed British chef Jamie Oliver. The menu was varied and suited all palates and ages, the food was delicious and they had even adapted some of the dishes to appeal to local tastes. The table was full of signature dishes which included cured salmon, roasted shellfish, crab, avocado bruschetta with mayonnaise. Pizzas, kinds of pasta and grilled dishes of perfectly cooked fish and meat. The children had smoothies, the ladies talked through the spritzers and the men enjoyed a mix of imported beers and wine. A good time was had by all!
