Why stay in Silom & Sathorn
Silom and Sathorn are Bangkok’s business district by day and one of its liveliest areas by night. Office towers sit next to street-food stalls, and some of the city’s best-known rooftop bars look out over the Chao Phraya River. It is also home to Lumphini Park, the city’s green escape.
Top things to do in and around Silom and Sathorn:
- Lumphini Park — paddle boats, joggers and the park’s famous monitor lizards.
- Rooftop bars — Silom and Sathorn have several of Bangkok’s best-known sky bars.
- Chao Phraya River — take the BTS to Saphan Taksin for river boats to the Grand Palace and Wat Arun.
- Patpong Night Market — souvenirs and street food after dark.
Is Silom & Sathorn right for you?
Great for
✓ Business travelers
✓ Couples who want rooftop bars and good restaurants
✓ Travelers who want easy access to both the BTS and the river boats
Maybe not for
✗ Families who want to avoid nightlife — parts of Silom, around Patpong, have adult entertainment venues
✗ Shoppers who want the big malls on their doorstep (Siam is better)

- Getting around: the BTS Silom Line and the MRT Blue Line meet at Sala Daeng / Si Lom. Saphan Taksin Station connects to the Chao Phraya river boats.
- Best time to visit: November to February is the cooler, drier season.
