Siam Premium Outlets, completed in 2020, is a luxury premium outlet that offers an experience beyond shopping with amenities and features that make the centre an exciting community space and a relaxing shopping destination.

The project is home to international and local brands and provides an ‘oasis’ serving locals and tourists and

features an array of dining, leisure, children's playgrounds and installations by local artists. No imported materials

were used and all construction labor was local. Rain is captured across the shopping podium and the surrounding

landscape into holding ponds for irrigating of the landscape. A series of sunken spaces along the promenades

break up the linearity and provide shade, including a feature amphitheater and a children's playground, which has

proven to be popular with visitors. Highly visible retail frontages create an open feel and the walking distances between feature attractions assist visitors with wayfinding and orientation. The many entries are highly visible, decorated with soft landscape and overhead artistic canopies with light diffusing membranes. Other features include large food hall concepts and locally inspired art installations on the promenades, themed around sustainability, occupying the generous promenades with an ability to update and change the works over time. Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok will be an economic driver for the local community, and so far has provided more than 1000 employment opportunities.
