Si Lom (or Silom, Thai: สีลม) is a road in Bang Rak district, Bangkok, Thailand. It is a entertainment district in Thailand's capital, adjacent to Sathorn business district. This causes a heavy load of traffic not only during rush hours that is considered to be the most dense of the city.

Now a major tourist attraction is the infamous red-light district Patpong. The gogo bars are nowadays hidden behind a vast number of stalls selling tourist stuff.
