Business district by day, nightlife by nightMix of upscale and local venuesGood transport connections+2

Silom is convenient for transport and has good restaurants and nightlife, but you need to be aware of the nearby red light district. It's fine during business hours when it's busy with office workers, but some areas get seedier at night.
