Ari: a neighbourhood guide

Low-rise streets, independent cafes and a slower pace ten minutes from the business districts.

Quick answer

Low-rise streets, independent cafes and a slower pace ten minutes from the business districts.

Ari is the neighbourhood people move to when they are tired of towers.\n\nThe streets are low, shaded and walkable, and the cafe density is the highest in the city outside Thong Lo. It suits people who work from cafes, creatives and anyone who wants a residential feel with a BTS station.\n\nIt is less convenient if your work is in Silom or Sathorn every day, and the good apartments go quickly.
