Published

on

Highlighting five years of success, the destination continues to elevate its appeal through a comprehensive marketing strategy and the ongoing addition of world-class luxury brands.

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 August 2025 – Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok, Thailand’s first and only premium outlet destination, proudly marks its 5th anniversary. The milestone highlights the success of its comprehensive business strategy that spans marketing, customer engagement with both Thai and international shoppers, and strengthening international brand recognition through a distinctive and exceptional shopping experience.

Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok is managed by Siam Piwat Simon Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Siam Piwat Group—Thailand’s leading real estate and retail developer—and Simon Property Group from the United States, a real estate investment trust engaged in the ownership of premier shopping, dining, entertainment, and mixed-use destinations. This powerful partnership has enabled Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok to set itself apart and achieve outstanding success within just five years, securing its position as Thailand’s only world-class premium outlet destination.

Michael Tang, Managing Director of Siam Piwat Simon Co., Ltd., stated that over the past five years, the company has been dedicated to developing Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok into a truly world-class shopping destination, with a strong focus on understanding customer behavior and needs. He emphasized that delivering exceptional experiences, combined with value and affordability, lies at the core of retail. Moving forward, the company will continue to evolve its strategies to keep up with the ever-changing world. One key strategy is the continuous expansion of the brand portfolio. Last year, the outlet welcomed renowned names such as Emilio Pucci, Diane von Furstenberg, Hoka, Carnival, Element 72, and Smiley—broadening its mix of luxury, international fashion, and sports brands to cater to the diverse preferences of today’s consumers.

This continued success has driven the addition of several renowned brands this year, bringing Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok to a 99% occupancy rate—effectively full capacity. Many of these new arrivals are global icons and powerful magnets, further enhancing the center’s lifestyle product portfolio. The latest additions include iconic global names such as Givenchy, the French fashion house celebrated for its Parisian elegance, now opening its first and only outlet store in Thailand. Polo Ralph Lauren, the legendary American brand known for its timeless classic style, and TAG Heuer, the Swiss luxury watchmaker noted for its chronograph expertise and powerful sporty designs, have also joined with the debut of Thailand’s first pop-up flagship store.

More exciting brand openings are set for September and October. These include Tory Burch, the American label celebrated for its high-quality, beautiful, and timeless classic designs that inspire women worldwide. In October, PP Space will also debut, bringing together a curated selection of world-class luxury brands to further elevate the shopping experience. A key highlight is Palm Angels, a famous Italian fashion brand admired by fashionistas worldwide for its bold graphic designs—such as the iconic teddy bear—paired with its distinctive gothic logo and monogram motif. The brand brings a unique streetwear aesthetic that balances simplicity with intricate detail, crafted with high-quality materials and precise Italian tailoring. Another standout addition is Crocs, a footwear brand for health-conscious individuals, made from special materials that help reduce impact and are lightweight, making them a perfect choice for those seeking comfortable and supportive footwear.

Popular luxury labels such as Balenciaga, Burberry, Ferragamo, Givenchy, Montblanc, and Versace continue to hold a strong position among discerning shoppers, consistently showcasing their best-selling collections. International fashion brands, including Polo Ralph Lauren, Longchamp, Coach, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Karl Lagerfeld, and Lacoste, also draw significant attention. In the sportswear category, Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok features Thailand’s largest mono-brand outlets, hosting top brands like Nike, Adidas, Asics, New Balance, Hoka, Puma, Skechers, Under Armour, Anta, and Warrix.

The strong presence of leading brands at Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok has driven a 15% increase in customer spending and service usage during the first seven months of 2025 (January–July) compared to the same period last year. Michael Tang noted that despite global and domestic economic challenges, which have led to a decline in certain tourist segments, the company has sustained continuous growth through a comprehensive marketing strategy. By offering renowned brands that meet the expectations of its target customers, Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok continues to focus on quality markets. Thai shoppers, who account for 80% of its core customer base, remain strong spenders, particularly during festivals and long holidays, while international visitors—primarily from India, ASEAN countries, and the Middle East—represent 20% of customers and demonstrate significant purchasing power with a keen interest in world-class brands.

The “Always Worth the Trip” campaign is offering shoppers an exceptional experience with discounts of up to 80% and a range of exclusive privileges from September 1 to October 31, 2025.

Etiqa’s Project Firefly Reinforces Mangrove Ecosystem in Sungai Panjang in Collaboration with Malaysian Nature Society

Published

on

SELANGOR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 January 2026 – Etiqa has launched Etiqa’s Project Firefly a new environmental initiative dedicated to conserving one of Malaysia’s iconic firefly habitats while uplifting the livelihood of the communities living along Sungai Panjang in Sabak Bernam, who rely on eco-tourism and the mangrove ecosystem. The programme was carried out in collaboration with the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), and the Sabak Bernam District Council.

(L to R) Raffi Ismail, Marketing & Partnership Manager, Malaysian Nature Society; Fukhairudin Mohd Yusof, CEO of Etiqa General Insurance Berhad; Zaki Parmin, Assistant Agricultural Officer, Sabak Bernam District Council; Amran Hassan, Chief Strategy Officer, Etiqa

Through Etiqa’s Project Firefly, Etiqa is taking proactive steps to preserve and sustain the ecosystem by planting 130 Sonneratia Caseolaris or locally known as Berembang saplings and 200 Sonneratia Caseolaris seeds, undertaking habitat restoration works, and mobilising 50 Etiqa volunteers for a community-driven initiative along Sungai Panjang, covering a total stretch of 10 kilometres. In addition, an awareness session was conducted by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Faculty of Science which aimed to educate participants on the ecological importance of fireflies and the need for long-term conservation.

Fireflies play an important role as indicators of mangrove ecosystem health, which in turn supports environmental balance and benefits surrounding communities. However, across Malaysia, firefly populations are declining due to rapid habitat loss caused by river pollution, deforestation, and increasing light pollution along mangrove-lined rivers. These threats not only endanger native species but also affect the livelihoods of local fishermen and villagers who rely on healthy river ecosystems and firefly-based eco-tourism. Protecting congregating firefly zones through the preservation of adequate vegetation buffers along riverbanks is therefore critical to ensuring the long-term survival of these species and the sustainability of local livelihoods.

Fukhairudin Mohd Yusof, CEO of Etiqa General Insurance Berhad (EGIB) said, “We initiated Etiqa’s Project Firefly as conserving native firefly species is deeply connected to the well-being of the communities that co-exist around them. By conserving firefly habitats, we are not only protecting an irreplaceable part of Malaysia’s biodiversity but also helping sustain the eco-tourism and river-based livelihoods of Sungai Panjang residents. This reflects Etiqa’s purpose in Making the World a Better Place that includes meaningful environmental action which strengthens both nature and society, creating long-term value for future generations.”

Mr. I.S Shanmugaraj, Executive Director of Malaysia Nature Society says, “Fireflies are natural indicators of a healthy mangrove ecosystem, and their presence reflects the overall condition of our rivers and surrounding environments. We commend Etiqa for taking proactive steps through Etiqa’s Project Firefly to address the growing threats of habitat degradation along fireflies corridor. Meaningful conservation requires collective action, and we hope this initiative will inspire more companies to collaborate with environmental organisations and local communities to protect biodiversity while supporting sustainable livelihoods for the long term.”Hashtag: #Etiqamy
