Sathorn has seen phenomenal growth over recent years due to its close proximity to the city's prime areas like Silom, Siam, Sukhumvit and riverside. Often considered a 'watered down' version of Silom, Sathorn is ideal for those seeking peace and privacy away from the downtown commotion.
Broken down into two parallel roads (North Sathorn and South Sathorn), Sathorn is dotted with modern high-rises, embassies, gleaming corporate head offices and 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.
Lumpini MRT underground station (directly opposite Suan Lum Night Bazaar) pretty much marks the start of Sathorn Tai (South Sathorn road). Teeming with embassies, restaurants, five-star hotels, serviced apartments and condominiums, the road is a long, yet walkable distance - thanks to the well-kept pedestrian walkway. The action-filled Silom, BNH Hospital and many banks are just across the road. Sathorn Tai is also connected to Narathiwat Rachanakarin Road - the ever-expanding residential area filled with many high-rise office buildings and modern condominiums.
