Which part of Bang Rak
Bang Rak is a district, not a single neighbourhood: it holds the Silom office towers, the gem trade and the older streets along Charoen Krung. Bangkok Gem Hotel’s address, Soi Charoen Krung 42/1, puts it on the Charoen Krung side — the road that runs parallel to the river — rather than among the Silom towers. The hotel is in Bang Rak, at the river end of the BTS Silom Line.
