Sathorn is a major commercial district with skyscrapers, offices, and upscale condos. On main thoroughfare Sathorn Road, vendors with open-air kiosks and pushcarts cater to a lunchtime crowd with pork noodle soup and spring rolls. Longtail boats ply the Chao Praya River, stopping at busy Sathorn Pier, a commuter hub. By night, back roads draw well-heeled revelers to swanky cocktail lounges, jazz bars, and nightclubs.
