I went to Siam Paragon because it was on the BTS stop and happened to be relatively easy to reach by transport.

i didn’t realize there were different levels of malls. Have to admit I walked through Siam Paragon and one or two other adjoining malls. Restaurants there weren’t crowded at all, so probably not a good sign. Prices seemed comparable, one Japanese restaurant advertised some meal sets around 800 THB.

This is the place facing the BtS station, where you buy tickets. There were two Starbucks on both sides. But the place was sparse with people.

i have to admit I didn’t go upstairs at Paragon nor go to the malls to the east, including centralWorld. At that point, I was just going to return to the hotel and eat around there as it was about 4 PM and I figured by the time I’d get back it would be around 5 PM.

I have dietary restrictions so I wasn’t going to go with street food. Yeah there are a lot of sois near the hotel with street food carts all over.

i didn’t have dietary restrictions 5-6 years ago when i visited Singapore. Just didnt seem appetizing to me. I went to one or two of them in Chinatown.
