Silom & Sathon
The business district of Th Silom has only a handful of tourist attractions scattered among
the corporate hotels, office towers and wining-and-dining restaurants. As you get closer to
the river, the area becomes spiced with the sights and smells of its Indian and Muslim res-
idents. Moving north along Th Charoen Krung, the area adjacent to the river was the inter-
national mercantile district during Bangkok's shipping heyday.
Traffic is notoriously sticky in this part of town, but the BTS, the MRT stops at Si Lom
and Lumphini, and Chao Phraya Express Boat pier at Tha Sathon (Central Pier) provide
some transport relief.
