A business avenue known as Thailand's Wall Street, with a Hindu temple covered in carved deities further west
The eastern half of Silom Road is lined with office towers and luxury hotels. Thailand's biggest conglomerates and several financial institutions have their headquarters here, which is why this stretch is nicknamed "Thailand's Wall Street". The BTS elevated track runs along this section, with Sala Daeng as the only station on this stretch. Heading west to the Pan intersection, you'll find a Tamil Hindu temple instead. The exterior walls of Sri Maha Mariamman Temple are covered in colorful carved deities, and nearby on Pan Road, small stalls sell golden marigold garlands for worshippers.
Sala Daeng station connects to the MRT Blue Line, giving this area the 2nd-best transit access among Bangkok's 16 neighborhoods, making it easy to reach anywhere else in the city. Based on our street photos, the sidewalks here rank 1st out of the 16 neighborhoods, so walking around is practical. Cross Rama IV Road from the Sala Daeng intersection and you're at Lumphini Park, just outside the neighborhood. The park's perimeter path is about 2.5 km, with joggers out morning and evening, and you can also rent boats on the lake. Dusit Central Park sits right across from the park at this same intersection — the mall opened in September 2025 and also has a rooftop park atop its podium.
The BTS only runs along the eastern half; the western half — home to Sri Maha Mariamman Temple and the jewelry district around Mahesak Road — isn't served by the BTS line. Based on our street photos, street cleanliness here ranks 11th out of the 16 neighborhoods.
Silom Road was built alongside a canal dug during the reign of Rama IV, and was later named Si Lom, meaning "windmill". In 1879, Tamil Hindu immigrants built Sri Maha Mariamman Temple at the Pan intersection. Trams ran along the road starting in 1925, stopped service in 1963, and the canal was later filled in and widened into a road, after which the area developed into a business district. In 1970, the Dusit Thani hotel opened at the start of the road, becoming Thailand's tallest building at the time. With rapid economic growth in the late 20th century, Silom became the city's central business district.
On Ratchadamri Road next to Lumphini Park, just outside the neighborhood, a city-run hawker center opened in April 2026. It is open from 05:00 to midnight in two shifts, morning and evening, with 88 stalls per shift.
