Siam Paragon, one of the world’s most visited global destinations, marks a major milestone with the launch of NEXTOPIA: Prototype for The World of Tomorrow — a groundbreaking, world-first co-creation platform that unites global partners to build a better, more sustainable future.

Spanning 15,000 sq m across Levels 5 and 5A and backed by an investment of THB 850 million, NEXTOPIA brings together 50 innovation partners, 30+ communities, and leading international organizations including the United Nations, WWF, UNICEF, and UN Global Compact Network Thailand. The initiative strengthens Siam Piwat’s position as a global pioneer in destination development and showcases Thai creativity on the world stage.

NEXTOPIA is designed as a future-city prototype, featuring sustainability-driven innovations — from kinetic floors that generate clean energy with every step, solar rooftops by B.Grimm, and radiant cooling systems by Casa Tech, to clean-air technologies by Daikin and environmentally conscious building materials from TOA, TPI Polene, Vanachai Group, and BlueScope. The project recently earned Thailand’s first Fitwel 2-Star Certification for a multi-tenant retail building, reinforcing its commitment to health and well-being.

Highlights include:

  • The Globe, an immersive centerpiece displaying real-time climate data from GISTDA and NASA

  • Vertical Farm, a hands-on agricultural experience co-created with Distar

  • AR Binoculars, offering interactive learning throughout the space

  • Art & architecture crafted from recycled and upcycled materials

NEXTOPIA also champions sustainable living through purpose-led retail and green entrepreneurship, anchored by ECOTOPIA — recognized as one of Asia’s “20 Coolest Retailers.” The space features over 300 SMEs, top sustainable brands, and a new pet-friendly zone including Club Pawrents by Arak.

Dining takes on a new standard with responsible gastronomy concepts, featuring the first Thailand locations of L’antica Pizzeria Da Michele and Gordon Ramsay Street Burger, alongside acclaimed Thai and international eateries powered by clean energy and zero-waste principles.

The opening also introduces EATELIER on Level 4 — Bangkok’s first Dining Entertainment hub combining cuisine, music, fashion, and culture — and MELAND, one of the world’s most advanced indoor theme parks and its first global flagship outside China.

With NEXTOPIA, Siam Paragon invites the world to Join us in the Making of a Better World — transforming every visit into a meaningful, impactful experience rooted in sustainability, innovation, and collective action.
