Sathorn Overview

Located alongside the ever-hectic Silom area, Sathorn is dotted with high-rise buildings, embassies and gleaming corporate head offices. These towers make up the ultra modern skyline around Sathorn Road, one of the city's fastest-growing business districts. Stretching from Lumpini Park south to the river, Sathorn contains some of Bangkok's trendiest hotels like the Metropolitan, the Sukhothai and Banyan Tree. The area also boasts many upmarket serviced apartments and a variety of fine restaurants serving up excellent local and international cuisine.

The Bangkok Skytrain (BTS) runs along most part of this road with stations at Surasak and Saphan Taksin. Sathorn is one of Bangkok's 'newest' areas and has seen phenomenal growth over recent years, mostly as a result of its outstanding location close to prime areas like Silom, Siam, the riverside and Sukhumvit Road. It's particularly popular too with an ever-increasing expat community, long-stay visitors and business travellers.
