Known for
Coffee and small kitchens in the sois by Ari station.
Coffee and locals
Ari
Phaya Thai
Phahonyothin, the Ari sois
The residential stretch by Ari station: coffee, small kitchens, houses people live in rather than receive groups. There is no temple here worth crossing the city for.
Why go
Come by day and toward evening, when the cafes are open. This is not a half-day with tickets.
Where to stay
A quiet BTS base if you want the centre twenty minutes away, not under the window. It goes to bed earlier than Sukhumvit.

This is not a half-day with tickets. Get off at Ari, walk two or three sois and get back on the BTS. It goes to bed earlier than Sukhumvit.
