The Bangkok Atlas guide
Sathorn
สาทร — The skyline district
Sathorn is Bangkok's CBD with a private life. Embassies and five-star hotels front the main artery while deep sois hide old trees, aunties' rice shops and quiet residential towers. Lumphini Park anchors one end, the river the other, and the Silom nightlife grid sits one street north.
