Phra Khanong - On Nut

Overview

Bangkok’s urban gentrification has expanded east along with its main train line – and Phra Khanong and On Nut are the two areas that have benefitted from this the most. These residential areas along greater Sukhumvit have bloomed in recent years and now offer a midtownlike lifestyle. You’ll find everything from bistros and coffee shops to izakayas and fine dining venues – but at a much less-expensive price tag. The presence of high-tech co-working spaces have also made it a playground for startups and digital nomads.

Explore Bangkok’s Shopping Scene

The abundance of malls in Bangkok should give you an idea of what the city’s residents engage in during their free time. Shopping is the unofficial sport of Bangkok, as people zip from one mall to the next with both luxe and budget-friendly options. In between, say a prayer at one of downtown Bangkok’s many shrines and load up on royal Thai fare. Come sundown, seek out a unique dining experience in the dark before jumping into the vibrant world of drag queens in House of Heals, one of Bangkok’s most stylish queer spaces.

Lumpini Park

Take a Breather in Nature

Take a stroll among flower beds and manicured lawns at Benchasiri Park, a small, serene park situated along chaotic Sukhumvit Road. You could also sit among mini-waterfalls and pocket gardens at the multilevel Quartier Water Garden at luxe mall EmQuartier (after a bout of last-minute shopping). Make your way to the up-and-coming neighborhood of Phra Kanong, home to futuristic lifestyle complexes that combine retail attractions with tech-injected co-working spaces and sprawling green zones.
