FEEL AT HOME IN SIRI SATHORN @ SILOM

I have been staying on and off at the Siri Sathorn these past 20 years. It's an old building but they have maintained the interiors really well. Their rooms are delightfully big and the breakfast spread is excellent. 

Some of my hyenas complain of the ten-minute walk to and fro Saladeang BTS station but I treat it as exercise to walk off my stomach-bursting meals. 

It's very conveniently located with Silom Complex and many good restaurants (Naj, Secret Garden, Somtum Der, Eat Me) within walking distance. There are many street food stalls at the start of Convent Road and both the relatively new Chang Massage and the very old Body Tune Massage await along Silom Road. 

The pool is very small but there's hardly anyone in it most of the time. You can always skip it and take morning walks at Lumpini Park instead. 

Oh, yes, there's a lovely, homey Jim Thomson Cafe just 200 metres down the road that serves some really lovely Thai (food, you ejit!).
