Downtown

Bangkok’s Downtown area radiates out eastward from the Old City
and Chinatown. This densely built-up area includes embassies
and offices as well as top hotels, restaurants, and entertainment
venues. There are a few historical sights, including
the Assumption Cathedral, and some gorgeous
traditional houses that contrast with all the
surrounding skyscrapers. Lush Lumphini Park
provides an escape from the concrete jungle,
while Silom Road, Siam Square, and Ploenchit
are the best shopping areas. Silom is also one
of the city’s liveliest areas for nightlife; along
its infamous side streets, Patpong 1 and 2,
market stalls and bars featuring live bands
Prehistoric pottery,
Suan Pakkad compete with go-go bars for visitors’ attention.
