Siam Paragon, an unprepossessing Bangkok mall, tops Instagram list
The Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal and the Grand Canyon have inspired many photographs. But a shopping mall in Bangkok has claimed this year’s crown as the world’s most photographed location on Instagram.
The Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal and the Grand Canyon have inspired many photographs. But a shopping mall in Bangkok has claimed this year’s crown as the world’s most photographed location on Instagram.
In its Top 10 year-end list, the photo-sharing service named Siam Paragon as the planet’s most “Instagrammed” spot this year. It edged out No 2 Times Square and No 3 Disneyland in California on the list that also includes New York’s Central Park and Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
Paris’ iconic steel tower got bumped off the list.
And if Siam Paragon seems like an improbable winner, consider this: last year’s most “Instagrammed” place was again from Thailand, Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, which this year was at No 9.

Instagram spokeswoman Tiffany Testo said in an e-mail response that the California-based company does not release data on how many pictures were taken.
