Si Lom

Si Lom (or Silom, สีลม, sǐː lōm; "windmill") is a sub-district and road in Bang Rak District, Bangkok, Thailand. Constructed in 1851 as part of a dike and irrigation system, Silom Road has become one of Bangkok's most cosmopolitan streets and a major financial centre. It is the home to some of the largest companies in Thailand, including the Charoen Phokphand Group (CP), Bangkok Bank, and a number of insurance and securities firms. Si Lom is sometimes called the "Wall Street of Thailand".



Silom Road runs parallel to the Sathorn business district on Sathon Road. The close proximity of the two major thoroughfares frequently causes serious traffic congestion in the area.



Si Lom station is an MRT Blue Line metro system stop at the Sala Daeng Intersection, where Silom and Ratchadamri Road meet Rama IV. It connects with the Sala Daeng Station on the Silom Line of the BTS Skytrain.

The Hindu Mariamman Temple, also known as Wat Khaek, is in Si Lom.

The Lebua hotel's Sky Bar on Silom Road is often cited on lists of the world's top hotel and rooftop bars.
