Silom Road

Silom Road is a road that runs perpendicular to Surak Road, the road where our Hostel can be found.  During the day it is quiet but full of people filling the streets browsing stores and markets along the way.  At night the sidewalks are transformed into markets where vendors set up shop while traffic is booming to and from many places throughout this region of Bangkok.  

Here you see a picture of the King of Thailand in his younger days playing the Saxophone.  People can find many pictures such as this one around the city. 

Here is another picture of the King in Military gear. 

Here is a look at the street food served.  Some are hot dogs, bacon, chicken balls, pork sausage.
