Silom Shopping Center – Experience Neo-Tokyo

If you want to have a cyberpunkish experience, a glimpse on Neo-Tokyo on our times, go to Silom shopping center at the beginning of Silom Road. There you have a lot of people of all races, small stalls selling everything and between, skytrain once a few minutes rumbling over you and a feeling of being so outside of everything. It would make a decent scene in Blade Runner, only the rain is missing outside monsoon season.

I did not find anything worth buying there, but I’m a bit picky and the last trip to the States satisfied most of my urgent needs. But there are a lot of street vendors cooking and frying stuff, small grocery stores and pharmacies, shoe and clothing stores and the rest except high-end stores.
