GF47 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Hello, I have been in Bangkok for about 3 weeks and will soon be getting a condo. I am currently in the Asok area of Sukhumvit and that is what I am familiar with. As a photographer who likes to go out at night and take photos of vibrant areas, I am wondering if Thong Lo would be a better option. My budget is around 25,000 for a 1 bedroom. It looks like I can find something to meet this in either area. My question is mainly about the price and availability of food in Thong Lo. I can get a decent, quick meal in Asok for under 150 Baht, with a couple if nice food stalls charging 50 - 60. Do such things exist in the Long Lo area? It's known for fancy restaurants, but I am unlikely to do much of that unless with a date. The obvious answer is to get out and compare both areas and I will be doing that, but would like to hear from people who have experience living in these areas.

Jimmpy Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I like the Thong Lo area too and have noticed the high end restaurants. I live in Saphan Khwai. If I could afford the rents downtown, I would choose Thang Lo. I go to Bangkok Hospital and always enjoy a good mealwhere the hospital shuttle van drops us off at Thang Lo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoiBiker Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Plenty of cheap food around Thong Lor. You can't smell Nana from there either, which is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
