What to Do in Sathorn

Sathorn is a central district in Bangkok that runs from the edge of Lumpini Park and the new One Bangkok lifestyle complex all the way to the Chao Phraya River. Itโ€™s known for its tall office buildings, luxury hotels, embassies, and rooftop bars, but the area also has a more local side.

Along the main Sathorn Road and the smaller streets around it, visitors will find a mix of stylish rooftop bars, hidden cafรฉs, excellent restaurants, and small local food stalls that come to life during the lunch rush. The area is busy during the day but becomes more relaxed in the evening.

The district is easy to reach by BTS or MRT, and itโ€™s well connected to Silom, Sukhumvit, and the riverside. Sathorn is a good mix of modern Bangkok with some unexpected surprises, whether youโ€™re passing through or staying in one of the many hotels nearby.

What to Do in Sathorn

Sathorn is home to some of Bangkokโ€™s most stylish rooftop bars, offering great city views without the heavy crowds found in the more touristy areas. The atmosphere here feels more grown-up and relaxed. Bars like Vertigo, Noby, and Le Du Kaan combine skyline views with well-made drinks and a more local crowd. Many of these rooftops are perfect for a sunset with a drink after dinner, with music that stays in the background.

Where to Stay in Sathorn

Sathorn has all kinds of hotels, from big luxury names to smaller, more local places. Some of the most well-known are Banyan Tree, W Bangkok, and Eastin Grand, each with its own style and often a rooftop bar to go with it. Many are just a short walk from the BTS or MRT, so getting around is easy. Itโ€™s a popular area for business travellers, but also good for anyone who wants a quieter base without being too far from the action. A few small hotels and serviced apartments are hidden in the side streets if you look around.
