Ekkamai
The Vibe
Upscale and spacious—Thonglor's mellower sibling. The atmosphere is trendy but relaxed. The pace is leisurely dining and weekend family activities. The crowd is young professionals, families, and those who find Thonglor too hectic.
Description
Thonglor's slightly more relaxed neighbor offers similar upscale dining and lifestyle appeal with more breathing room. Soi Ekkamai (Sukhumvit 63) houses the Eastern Bus Terminal serving provincial Thailand. Gateway Ekamai mall serves as transit hub. The neighborhood has grown trendy with restaurants, wine bars, and creative offices. Science Center for Education provides family entertainment. Less frenetic than Thonglor, Ekkamai offers similar quality with better parking and space.
