Neighborhood Focus - Ari [Season 3, Episode 21]

Another in our continuing series on Bangkok's coolest and most
notable places to live or visit! This week we focus on the Ari
neighborhood, which roughly surrounds the Ari BTS station. Greg
recounts the four years he lived in the neighborhood and shares a
few insights into what makes it unique. Ed also ponders is
demographic makeup - a lot of educated expats living and hanging
out right next to working class Thais, patrons of upscale
eateries, craft beer bars, and hole-in-the-wall joints that cater
to all.


While condo prices are high due to the central location, the
bars, restaurants, and art galleries more than justify an
exploratory afternoon or evening. With a ton of back sois, a
great street food scene, and hipster sensibilities (though not
too much of that, yet), Ari should be on the list of any expat
seeking to explore Bangkok beyond the tourist areas.
