Furthermore, Siam Paragon is driving the Y-Economy (Boys' Love industry) through the "TIA51 x Siam Paragon" project, featuring the launch of the series "Love x3" and the "Love Galaxy" project.

Siam Center, known as The Ideaopolis, promotes inclusivity through the "The Colors of Thai Beauty" campaign, inviting everyone to express their beauty without limits and elevating T-Beauty standards from June 4 – 30, 2026. Siam Center also features vibrant performances from Drag Bangkok, T-POP shows, and mini-concerts throughout the festival, held on the G Floor from May 28 to June 3, 2026.
