Sathorn / Silom

2015-07-10: 2.5 kms South of Siam Centre

Who would have thought an empty, swamp like field with a tall 'Silom' (windmill) stuck in the middle would somehow become Bangkok's equivalent to New York's Wall Street?

Today, Si Lom (by day anyway) is undoubtedly one of the city's most important financial districts with many bank headquarters, financial institutions and office buildings.  

Fine hotels, smaller type malls and great restaurants abound in the area too - and then of course there's the infamous nightlife scene of Patpong (detailed in "shopping" and "Nightlife tour guides").



Visit the citys' most famous Park (early morning or evening). Day time vast the chaos of busy business life and evening where anyone and everyone enjoys a stroll through the tropical garden
