Bang Sue ─ A Quiet Community with Nature Access
One of the Bangkok outskirts communities is Bang Sue. The MRT line will take you if you don’t want to drive. The proximity to nature provides different free-time activities.

- Sukhumvit is one long line of continuous shopping, live entertainment, hotels, condos, food, clubs, malls, and rooftop venues. Living here will include the skyline as artwork.
- The largest park in Bangkok is at your doorstep in Lumphini. The massive open-air space has a lake with boat rental and green space to picnic or use the playgrounds.
Thong Lor and Ekkamai ─ The Trendy and Hipster Districts
East of Lumphini and closer to the airport, you will find Thong Lor, Ekkamai. This is a hipster, trendy, cool café, and residential district further down Sukhumvit road. The weekends are buzzing with nightlife as throngs of people descend upon excellent cuisine and fun bars.
