Bangkok's Trendiest Neighborhood
Thonglor (Sukhumvit Soi 55) and Ekkamai (Soi 63) are Bangkok's trendiest neighborhoods. Japanese expats have built a vibrant community here, creating an amazing fusion of Thai and Japanese culture. Expect designer cafes, boutique fitness studios, art galleries, and some of Bangkok's most innovative restaurants. It's pricey but undeniably stylish.
Bangkok's culinary frontier. Innovative Thai-fusion, authentic Japanese izakayas, specialty coffee shops, and brunch culture. 72 Courtyard and The Commons are food destination complexes. Some of the best ramen outside Japan.
Sophisticated and trendy. Iron Fairies cocktail bar, Rabbit Hole, and numerous wine bars. More chill than Sukhumvit's party scene. Late-night Japanese bars and karaoke spots.
BTS Thong Lo and Ekkamai stations. The sois are long — use motorbike taxis or the free shuttles that some malls/condos provide. Ekkamai Bus Terminal for trips to Pattaya and eastern Thailand.
Thonglor sois can be over 2km long — always take a motorbike taxi from the BTS station
Visit The Commons for brunch on weekends — arrive before 11 AM to avoid queues
