Real estate firm Siam Piwat Group, known for being Thailand’s top developer of global destinations including Siam Paragon and IconSiam, is reinforcing its position as the preferred destination for leading luxury brands with a new set of rules.
Siam Paragon, one of Siam Piwat’s most iconic and most visited global destinations, is under a major transformation to create a prototype bringing together the world’s finest luxury products and wide range of lifestyle experiences from around the world. IconSiam, the iconic landmark on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, has set a new benchmark for integrated developments and showcases the best of Thailand with the best of the world, which has achieved great success after six years since its opening.

Notably, Siam Piwat Group already has a stronghold in the luxury market of Thailand. Through sales of luxury brands at Siam Paragon and IconSiam, Siam Piwat has a combined market share of 70 percent, the highest in the luxury retail market in Thailand. As the business has grown, the company now counts the largest number of luxury stores for 90 brands. Another 15 luxury brands will debut with Siam Piwat malls in 2025.
According to the company, the luxury market in Thailand continues to demonstrate growth potential and “has garnered increasing interest from leading brands looking to invest.” This is seen especially in the fine jewelry and watch markets, which has enhanced Siam Piwat’s competitive strength as a global developer of luxury destinations, catering to the highest-spending clientele in Thailand.
With a new prototype, both Siam Paragon and IconSiam are set to more than double their space devoted to luxury brands in 2025. The expansion will see both malls welcome several new and exclusive luxury brands and the largest number of luxury duplex flagships in Thailand. Siam Paragon will also reveal new luxury dining, the first of its kind in Thailand with many restaurant brands making their debut in the country and Michelin-starred chefs preparing new exclusive concepts.
Siam Piwat’s new “luxury for all” concept aims to elevate the ultimate luxury experience and fulfill the needs of future lifestyles in every dimension, ensuring accessibility for everyone. The new model furthers the company’s position as a leader in the Thai market and underscores its continued commitment to creating the best luxury destinations in the world.
Despite the global downturn in the luxury market, Lenbury said that Siam Piwat has managed to achieve an increase in luxury brand sales in 2024.
“We continue to expand our luxury floor spaces at Siam Paragon and IconSiam in 2025,” she said. “To take the luxury retail market in Thailand to the next level, we aim to set a new prototype for creating unparalleled first-time and excusive experiences at both Siam Paragon and ICONISIAM.”
Strategies for the future of Siam Piwat include curation and co-creation, accessible luxury for everyone, extraordinary experiences, building a new affluent community of young high-spenders and the promotion of brands focused on sustainability.
Thanaporn Tantiyanon, head of business unit at Siam Paragon, explained that the concept of “luxury for all” is to offer a luxury lifestyle experience to people of all ages, genders and backgrounds. The experience will cover every lifestyle while maintaining uniqueness and a strong alignment with individual preferences not only for fashion and shipping but also for dining, art, culture and trends.
“The expansion is to secure Siam Piwat’s leadership in the luxury retail market in Thailand and promote the country to be a global luxury destination in the region, as part of our attempt to attract quality tourists into Thailand,” said Tantiyanon. “The luxury zone expansion is part of Siam Paragon’s major transformation, which will redefine the global landmark to the ‘Grand Stage of the World’ to meet the lifestyle needs of the future.”
With these concepts in place, she told Fairchild Studio, the company aims to create a global prototype of a co-created platform for a sustainable future, where the best of the best from every field can come together and co-curate world-class projects and experiences that exceed all expectations.
