Casa Viva Ekkamai for sale

Vadhana

Vadhana is the heart of Bangkok's international community. Anchored by the BTS Sukhumvit line, the district encompasses Thong Lo (Soi 55), Ekkamai (Soi 63), and Phrom Phong (Soi 24–39) — arguably Bangkok's most livable and cosmopolitan neighborhoods. Tree-lined sois, rooftop bars, Japanese izakayas, French bistros, and Thai street food coexist within walking distance. Thong Lo — Bangkok's trendiest neighborhood. High-end condos, craft cocktail bars, specialty coffee shops, and boutique fitness studios. Slightly more affordable than Phrom Phong for similar quality. Phrom Phong — Family-friendly with EmQuartier/Emporium malls, Benchasiri Park, Samitivej Hospital, and numerous international restaurants. The Japanese community hub — supermarkets like Fuji and UFM are here. Ekkamai — More relaxed than Thong Lo, with community malls, vintage shops, and a younger creative scene. Gateway Mall and the Eastern Bus Terminal are landmarks. Yes — Vadhana is one of Bangkok's best districts for families. Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital is world-class, several international schools are nearby (Bangkok Prep, Wells, NIST in adjacent Khlong Toei), and the area is walkable by Bangkok standards. Plenty of playgrounds, family restaurants, and kid-friendly cafes. The main downside is price — this is a premium neighborhood. Among Bangkok's most expensive. New condos: 150,000–300,000 THB/sqm. Resale units in older buildings: 80,000–150,000 THB/sqm. Rental for a 1-bed condo: 25,000–55,000 THB/month. 2-bed family units: 45,000–120,000 THB/month. Houses/townhouses on this side of Bangkok are rare and expensive when available.
