Silom has evolved from its humble beginning as a dike into a major financial district and one of Bangkok's busiest streets, and its core is the Siam Center BTS Station, Bangkok's busiest, where the Silom Line interchange with the Sukhumvit Line.
We've had an amazing and memorable family adventure by bus from Vietnam, Cambodia into Thailand and it's time for us to go home for the new year.
After a breakfast of 7-11 ready-to-eats in our hostel, we hailed a tuktuk for the Siam Center to kill time before our 6:50 pm flight back to Manila.
The Siam Center BTS is the beating heart of Silom and cluttered with mostly high end malls: Siam Paragon where we deposited our luggage, it's namesake Siam Center where the wife had a photo with Vin Diesel, Siam Discovery and its giant aero christmas tree, and the exceptional MBK Center whose affordable merchandise and Dairy Queen ice cream we can afford.
We have one final street food-inspired lunch [two variations of fried pork and grilled Northern Thailand sausage after the Pablo cheesetarts and Haagen-Dazs ice cream] at the Siam Paragon Food Court before taking the train to the airport where I pilfered snacks from Miracle Lounge before our flight.
We landed at NAIA Terminal 2 near midnight and were fortunately checked in at Red Planet-Bonondo before the new year's fireworks exploded.
Brunch [bihon, siomai, lechong kawali] at the Ying Ying Tea House where we had our first Binondo family meal many years ago and a visit to Mayor Isko's gentrified Jones Bridge as requested by the wife ushered our first day of 2020 before heading to the Baliwag Bus Terminal in Cubao for the trip back to Bakal 2.
This vacation is our first abroad as a family to celebrate 22 years of happy marriage in December 2019 and my upcoming 50th birthday on January 2020, and a great way to celebrate both previous and new years.
It will not be our last...
