Silom Village - Savour the Orient

The multi faceted Silom Street in Bangkok says 'Sawasdee' or welcome in Thai to all its visitors who traverse to explore 'Silom Village'. From fine dining to street shopping and a comforting foot massage, Silom Village trade centre offers the discerning traveler all that they yearn for.

From its humble beginnings many decades ago, the Silom Village Trade Centre has blossomed into a crowd pulling glamorous village that is uniquely Thai. Originally it had a few shops which sold Thai souvenirs, restaurants which served authentic Thai cuisine and stalls which demonstrated the art of preparing Thai desserts. Now it has evolved into a full fledged shopping area, where you can find clothes, jewellery, antiques and massage parlors in addition to all those.

The shopping area is replete with its own theatre, the 'Ruen Thep' entertainment hall, where dances and plays are held every night. Each performance is based on a traditional Thai storyline and portrays the cultural attributes of Thailand. Sumptuous dinner buffets are laid for guests to dine while drowning in the elegance and charm of the performers.

The row of buildings which house the trading centre are highly acclaimed for their rich brown teak roofs and interiors and inimitable Southern Thai styles. King Rama V, built them well over a hundred years ago, thence they have stood majestically adding an air of splendor to the area. Not far from the shopping centre is the Lumpini Park where one can practice Tai Chi and yoga and catch a revitalizing breath of fresh air.

Shop till you drop, indulge in Thai cuisine, enjoy a musical performance and revel at a Bangkok service apartment; that is the order of the day in this part of the world. President Park Bangkok is among the most sought after in this regard due to its affluence and luxury.
