The Grande Centre Point Surawong, located halfway between Silom and Bangrak, gives you a spectacular view of one of Bangkok's liveliest neighborhoods.

Particularly during the festival seasons when all the fireworks are lighting up the sky, the rooftop restaurant Bangrak Grill is a wonderful place to wander and take in the breathtaking nighttime views of the Chaopraya river. Hua's restaurant uses real recipes to create dishes that combine traditional favorites from Hong Kong with old-school Chinatown flair.

The remarkable Bangkok Cultural District, TCDC, and numerous museums honoring Bangkok's colonial history and culture are also located in Bangrak. Silom is renowned for being a shoppers' paradise, with countless stores, superb restaurants, and bars just waiting for you to explore.
