Valentine’s Day in Silom

Every year, Valentine’s Day takes a greater hold in Thailand. Though it is not a traditional part of the Thai holiday calendar, couples, families, and friends often adopt this holiday to celebrate their love for one another. You will see many Valentine’s themed gifts and events in stores, including the classic red, pink, and white heart decorations, cards, gifts, chocolates, and flowers. If you’re planning to spend Valentine’s Day with us at Centre Point Silom, we have some great recommendations for things to do with your sweetheart in the neighborhood!

For an unforgettable experience, book two tickets for a Chao Phraya river cruise. Dinner cruises feature fine dining menus, live music, drinks, and dancing — but they are popular on this holiday, so we recommend purchasing your tickets well in advance. The dazzling cityscape and lights reflecting in the river make for a romantic view as you enjoy time with your Valentine. You can also take a day cruise to get a better view of Bangkok’s many sights along the river, including the Royal Palace and several important temples.

For a day excursion or simply a fun break from routine, we recommend visiting the historic Chinatown district for dinner and drinks. Dozens upon dozens of restaurants and street vendors offer Chinese and Thai-Chinese cuisine to suit all tastes. In the Silom neighborhood itself, you can find gorgeous views at the Yao Restaurant and Rooftop Bar. We also love the atmosphere and dining options at Lord Jim’s and the Authors’ Lounge.

We hope this Valentine’s Day is a special one for you and your loved one, and an opportunity to spend time together and enjoy what Bangkok has to offer. Happy Valentine’s Day!!
