Lumpinee Boxing Stadium
An enjoyable way to understand more of Thai culture is by visiting a Thai kickboxing Muay Thai match. Foreigners pay 1,000-2,000 baht depending on proximity to the ringside, while Thais can squeeze in for 230 baht. The matches take long though, and as the more interesting matches tend to happen at the end, you might want to skip the first hour.
Ruen Thep
In the evenings you can catch this authentic performance of various forms of traditional Thai dance. It is part of the Silom Village Trade Center complex. It might be a good idea to make a reservation by phone beforehand.
Blue Elephant Cooking School and Restaurant
Take classes from one of the most famous chains of Thai restaurants in the world. While the price is substantially higher than others in Bangkok, class takes place in the historic Blue Elephant restaurant, and while dining on your creations, wine, extra dishes and dessert are served. And they give you a Blue Elephant apron as well.
Due to many rich business travelers visiting Silom, it is an excellent destination for high-class spas. Particularly well-regarded spas include Devarana Spa at the Dusit Thani Hotel, and the eponymous operations at Banyan Tree and the legendary Oriental â the last of these probably being the most expensive in town, offering among other things a six-hour Oriental Romance package for two costing a whopping 16,000 baht.
Devarana Spa
Easily the most luxury spa of the city in the Dusit Thani Hotel. There are 15 treatment rooms, including five spa suits. Expect a very professional service and a beautiful modern interior. If you need to ask the price, it means you probably cannot afford it.
BODY Tune
Well-respected small chain offering excellent traditional Thai massages.
