If it’s your first time in Bangkok, I’d definitely recommend staying in Silom. It’s a business district, so during the day, it’s bustling, but at night it’s quieter compared to places like Sukhumvit. You’ve got Lumpini Park nearby if you want some greenery, and it’s well connected to the BTS and MRT, which makes it super easy to get around. Plus, Silom has a mix of street food, great restaurants, and some cool markets like Patpong Night Market. It’s safe, easy to navigate, and has a little bit of everything.
