Where to stay in
Thong Lo–Ekkamai

Thong Lo–Ekkamai is the Sukhumvit stretch around Soi 38–63 that locals call Bangkok's coolest district, packed with Japanese restaurants, cafés, and late-night bars. Two BTS stations, Thong Lo (Soi 55) and Ekkamai (Soi 63), make it easy to eat and drink here and still get into the city.

Lodge 61 Hotel

★ 3-star · Best for: Budget · by Ekkamai BTS · 🔎 Find a deal on Agoda

A small B&B on Sukhumvit Soi 61 next to Major Cineplex Ekamai, a few minutes' walk from Ekkamai BTS and the Eastern Bus Terminal. Rooms are simple and some have a balcony. Reviews call it good value, though a few mention the fittings are a bit dated. Good if you just want a clean bed near the train.

63 Bangkok Boutique Residence Ekamai

★ 3-star · Best for: Budget · short stays by the station · 🔎 Find a deal on Agoda

Right by the Ekkamai BTS exit, basically across the street, so it's handy if you arrive with luggage and want to drop straight in. Rooms are compact boutique-style. Ratings are middling and management has changed over the years, so check recent reviews before booking, but the location is hard to beat at this price.

★ 4-star · Best for: Families · longer self-catering stays · 🔎 Find a deal on Agoda

A serviced apartment on Soi Thonglor with in-room kitchens and washer/dryers, suited to families or multi-night stays. There's an outdoor pool and a free tuk-tuk shuttle to Thong Lo BTS, which helps because the building sits a fair way down the soi. Guests praise the spacious, clean units.

★ 5-star · Best for: Couples · design-boutique fans · 🔎 Find a deal on Agoda

FAQ

What's the difference between Thong Lo and Ekkamai, and where should I stay?

The two areas sit side by side on Sukhumvit and are walkable to each other. Thong Lo (Soi 55) leans toward Japanese restaurants, cafés, and upscale bars, while Ekkamai (Soi 63) is a touch more laid-back with more budget-friendly stays. Pick Thong Lo for higher-end eating and drinking, Ekkamai to keep costs down.

Is it easy to get into the city from here?

Yes. Two BTS stations, Thong Lo and Ekkamai, sit on the Sukhumvit line, with a straight ride to Asok for the MRT or on to Siam. Note that some hotels are deep inside the soi, so you may need a motorbike taxi or the hotel shuttle to reach the main road first.

Is Thong Lo–Ekkamai good for families with kids?

It can be, if you choose the right hotel. The area is known for bars and nightlife, but there are family-friendly options with pools and kids' clubs, like Grande Centre Point Sukhumvit 55, or serviced apartments such as Somerset with in-room kitchens that suit families cooking for themselves on longer stays.
