Silom

Silom is undoubtedly one of Bangkok’s most important financial districts, being home to many bank headquarters, financial institutions and office buildings. Fine hotels, modest-sized malls and great restaurants abound in the area, too. And then, of course, there's the famous nightlife scene of Patpong.

Bangkok's 2 most sophisticated mass transit systems – the Skytrain (BTS) and underground (MRT) – both have Silom connections, which are also conveniently connected by a walkway between MRT Silom and BTS Sala Daeng stations. Siam, Chidlom, Ploenchit, Sathorn, and the riverside are only a few stations away.
