The ESSE Asoke for rent

Vadhana

<h3>Overview</h3> <p>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.</p> <h3>Lifestyle</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Thong Lo</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Phrom Phong</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Ekkamai</strong> — More relaxed than Thong Lo, with community malls, vintage shops, and a younger creative scene. Gateway Mall and the Eastern Bus Terminal are landmarks.</li> </ul> <h3>Is It Good for Families?</h3> <p><strong>Yes — Vadhana is one of Bangkok's best districts for families.</strong> 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.</p> <h3>Price Guide</h3> <p>Among Bangkok's most expensive.
