Siam Paragon has daily festive shows till 31 December
Bangkok’s many glitzy malls have long been havens for city-dwellers looking for respite from the demands of the daily grind.
This festive season, however, you might be looking for some way to spend the evening besides wining, dining or shopping till you drop. A Christmas parade sure sounds nice, but that usually happens in theme parks, right?
Closer to home, the folks at Siam Paragon, seem to have many surprises in store for shoppers checking off their Christmas lists.
Here’s a preview of what to expect, from live shows involving stilt-walkers dressed to the nines, starring everyone from Santa to the Snow Queen, to free cotton candy and roller skates.
