Top ways to experience Silom Village and nearby attractions
The area
Neighborhood: Silom
Despite the lack of any major tourist attractions, this lively neighborhood is a favorite of many. Whether it's the (somewhat naughty) nightlife of Soi Patpong, the various handicraft night markets or the plethora of dining options that tickle your fancy, a night out in Silom is a must on every itinerary. It's worth a stop during daytime, too: join office workers on a quest to tasty street food during lunch and shop at Silom Complex for a great mix of Thai and international stores. After a day of strolling around the congested sidewalks, a visit to Silom's Lumphini Park, Bangkok's answer to NYC's Central Park, is a welcome change of scenery.

3 evenings in a row we went there at 3 different times (7 p.m. on the day of our arrival, 9 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.).
Each time it was very good with servers who respected our meal.
Not too many people and great setting!
The pad thai is great and the menu is extensive.
I recommend.

We expected the show to be longer, it was very short , food was not great !! Does not represent the Thai cuisine, would suggest to have buffet with varieties of dishes and a revamp on the interior of the main hall for the performance, no value for money, seemed very normal, our tour guide replaced it with the siam niramit show !! Which is way better I suppose, Siam Niramit show was cancelled for booking since someone booked the whole show, and to be replaced with the performance in silom village, silom village performance and setting up needs lots of improvement !! Specially food !!! Needs improvement, to represent the Thai experience !!!

Okay, you're in BKK and your schedule gives you no time to go anywhere else in Thailand, but you'd like to sample the country if you can. You have three choices: for sights/history/grandeur, take a long taxi ride to the Ancient City, southeast of town and spend a few hours or a day...that's choice #1. There you can see most major ancient Thai sites in one place designed for you. amazingly realistic, and with authentic food nearby. Alternatively, you could go for culture/handicraft/anthropology to the Bang Sai Royal Folk Arts and Crafts Center a long taxi-ride west of town and see houses from every part of Thailand arranged in villages complete with amazing craftsmen doing hand-of-God artwork and crafting with ancinet methods. There, you are likely to see a Thai wedding, as many Thais and Falang-Thai couples go there for the ceremony. Finally, if neither of those excellent options is doable, you go to Silom Village. It is a lot like the procuct of the mall company that builds "Olde City Centres" in cities with no destination factor across the USA. It is what it is, an unabashed tourist trap for those who don't bother to work to learn on their trip. That said, you can see some traditional Thai dancing, hear some Traditional Thai music, pay too much for goods you could find elsewhere if you bothered, but it is all in one place for your convenient consumption. I must confess to having gone there to find silk pajamas for my daughter once when I had no time to go to my favorite stalls...reliably, the pajamas were there, if at three times the price. Go with your eyes open to what a compromise you're making, and it will be a reasonable experience.

This shop needs to be updated! Travelled here and they haven't been selling brand copy bags for over 5 years! Don't bother if looking for brands because they sell only leather goods.

Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and the Thai dancers at Silom Village. Nice service, good authentic food, and the entertainment was very nice. We were taken by a friend who is a local, and he loves to take foreign guests here.

Yes I was on an organised tour with members aged over 60 and the seating was unusual but even as a vegetarian I found the food pleasant and the show was superb. Perhaps American tourists should look to their own 'cultural experiences' before criticising those in other lands and perhaps they could learn the basics of grammar and spelling too!

I must say that at first glance I was somewhat disappointed as this is quite small collection of stores.
However, I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of goods available and at the prices. Although a couple of stores selling wood carvings were astronomically priced and were offended at the suggestion of bargaining, there were several small stores that were VERY reasonably price and carried high quality goods and tchachki alike - some of which I have not seen anywhere in the many markets and stores of Bangkok that I have visited.
I picked up a REALLY high quality wood carving for a surprisingly good price, and some really nice thai boxing lithographs as well.
The silk store at the entry to the complex was wonderful, and lovely owner had infinite patience as I made her show me dozens of things. I wound up purchasing some items that were half the price of similar items at Chatuchak. And she was willing to bargain as well.
I will visit again.

At the recommendation of your tour company (Goway/Asia World Tours), my wife and I attended the Silom Village Thai Cultural Center Show and Dinner while in Bangkok for our 25th anniversary. We were awed by the music performed by the live band, and colorful intricate costumes and dancing by the 10 male and female performers. The closeness of the stage to the dinner tables made for an intimate experience and great pictures. Everyone was allowed to take pictures without extra cost during the show. The performers even stood still at various times during their dance routines to allow guests to take better pictures. You could also take additional pictures individually with the performers for an extra fee both before and after the show. The traditional Thai dinner served on low tables in small bowls was also a good experience. We highly recommend the show.

We were there on Saturday night, the place is quiet... traditional dance...i think its a cultural promotion effort by the govt... the food is kinda pricey... we had two dishes and two drinks for 600baht.... but worth the ambience

Como puedo llegar desde el Hotel FURAMA SILOM BANGKOK y que valor tiene el traslado?
Written December 28, 2017
Hi, is it easy to get to the Silom Village by public transport? From the map it looks near to Chong Nonsi BTS.
Must the dinner and show ticket be purchased in advance? Any possibility to buy on the same day?
Written February 19, 2017
