Naratipe Ruttapradit, Senior Executive Vice President, Operations, Siam Piwat Co., Ltd., the operator of Siam Paragon, Siam Center, Siam Discovery and a joint venture partner of ICONSIAM, said “Siam Paragon, Siam Center, Siam Discovery and ICONSIAM are fully prepared to reopen. We resume operations according to the Thai government’s announcement to further ease disease control restrictions. To ensure safety and confidence for all visitors including shoppers, tenants and staff, and to best serve the ‘New Normal Innovative Lifestyle’ we have integrated innovations into our 360◦ health & safety measures such as a patrolling robot that can detect and immediately report unmasked visitors, perform temperature scan and report real-time in case of high temperature. UV-C technology has been used for all-area deep cleaning, indoors and outdoors. Air-conditioning system and air-handling units have been ozone-purified and coated with enzyme to prevent bacteria growth. The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA)’s platform Thai Chana is used for every visitor check-in and check-out. In addition, we have implemented many other health and safety measures at maximum levels, to ensure our visitors are confident in their safety all through their journey. We dedicatedly support the authorities to encourage the public to strictly adhere to the Covid-19 prevention measures. Together we will drive Thailand out of this world-changing crisis.”

Privileges are given to people who are potentially at higher-risk such as elderly and people with disabilities, to facilitate their visit with most convenience and minimize their exposure to any health risk.
