Silom is one of Bangkok's main business districts, and Surawong Road runs through it, lined with office towers, shops and small hotels. By day the streets are busy with office workers and street-food stalls, and after dark the lanes around Patpong turn into a night market and entertainment area that draws visitors from across the city. Guests can have the district's energy close at hand and return to a quieter garden at the end of the day.

The Sam Yan MRT station is 300 m away and the Sala Daeng BTS station is 400 m away, so the rail network is an easy way to reach the rest of the city. The Patpong Night Market is 150 m away, a short walk for an evening stroll. The Grand Palace and Wat Arun, in the old city, are a taxi ride away, and Chatuchak Weekend Market is a longer trip across the city that is best saved for a weekend.

A good day starts with a visit to the Jim Thompson House, the former home of the American silk entrepreneur, followed by lunch in Silom and a walk back through the district's streets. In the evening, walk to the Patpong Night Market and back to the hotel, where the garden is a quiet place to finish the day.
