About Silom
Silom, running parallel with Sathorn Road represents the heart of the older central business district, lined with the head offices of financial institutions, local banks, law firms and multinational corporations. Surprisingly there are also a number of art and antique shops, and some good local bars and restaurants.
During the evening, Silom puts on a different face when local street markets selling clothes, watches, and souvenirs set up along the roadside. Patpong, better known for its raunchy nightlife also has a few dance clubs and party places among the saucy shows, along with Japanese hostess and karaoke bars around Thaniya.
Some of Bangkok's old established hotels are located along both Silom and Surawong road. The Skytrain runs along part of Silom providing good access both to the river and the central shopping area.
Bangkok Thailand's thriving and lively capital city is one of the best reasons for visiting. The new underground rail system and Skytrain now link most of the main tourist and business areas, allowing easy access to virtually anywhere in the city. The old city area (Rattanakosin) and the riverside are becoming popular areas near Bangkok's temples but if you're a shopaholic, head for Sukhumvit, Ploenchit and Rachaprasong.
