A not-to-be missed highlight in Silom is the Sri Mariamman Hindu Temple, also referred to by locals as ‘Wat Khaek’. The colourful and incredibly detailed temple with over 100 years of history is inspired by the ancient arts of Southern India.

 

 

Not known to many but definitely a spot worth checking out is the Kathmandu Photo Gallery, located in a restored pre-war shophouse. The bright-coloured structure is so beautiful that one cannot help but snap away. Don’t forget to bring home some noteworthy works from the numerous local artists…who knows, they may be worth millions one day!

 

Mural paintings or street art can be found at many spots throughout Bangkok city. One of the more famous mural art masterpieces is located on Decho Road, just near Pullman Bangkok Hotel G. It was created by Japanese artist Motomichi Nakamura. Pull out your camera, get the angle right and snap away!

 

Just a short 7-minute walk away from Pullman Bangkok Hotel G, discover another hidden gem and unmissable landmark with over 140 years of history: the Neilson Hays Library. With its gorgeous neoclassical architecture, it is without a doubt one of the best places to have a pleasant afternoon stroll and take interesting photos in Bangkok.

 

A not-to-be missed highlight in Silom is Lumphini Park, located just 20 minutes walk from Pullman Bangkok Hotel G. This green oasis offers a quiet respite when you want to escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. As one of the city’s largest green spaces, it boasts a few lakes and walking tracks, perfect for a relaxing stroll or a jog. You can also opt for cycling around the park, or even paddle boating!

 

Lalai Sap Market is a hidden shopping landmark, well-known to locals but off the beaten path. This bazaar is tucked in Silom’s little back alleys, forming an eclectic maze of shophouses and boutiques as well as street stalls, mini-malls and food courts brimming with tasty Thai food. Here you won’t find any touristic souvenirs or trinkets, but you will gain a unique insight into Bangkokians’ daily lives. Pro tip: to see this market when it’s most alive, go on a weekday around lunchtime or early afternoon, this is when it gets very busy as it fills up with local office workers. Important to know: it’s only open on weekdays. To get there, head to Silom Road Soi 5 – next to Bangkok Bank Head Office. It’s a short 10-minute walk away from Pullman Bangkok Hotel G!
