1. The street food is some of the best in town
Nothing like returning home from a long day’s work to a delicious street meal. And Wongwian Yai is home to some of the best street food stalls in the business. The legendary Somsak Pu Ob serves freshly made shrimp and crab ob woon sen (glass noodles) that draws customers from all over town, while the classic shop-house restaurant Guay Teaw Ped Tun does excellent duck noodles. Those with a sweet tooth can round off their meal with a refreshing bowl of tabtim krob with water chestnuts and sweetened coconut topped with shaved ice at Tabtim Krob Wongwian Yai.

2. The nightlife is heating up
While Wongwian Yai is better known for its slower pace of life, that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of nightlife options. Situated right by the river, Camp serves up craft beers and live music under a breezy, beachside theme. Meanwhile, Bangkok’s most talked about bars and lounges are just a short BTS or ferry ride away, from classy cocktail establishments Ku De Ta, Vogue Lounge and Lady Brett in Sathorn to the riverside Asiatique The Riverfront and its many casual drinking and dining venues. You’re spoiled for choice on that next night out.

3. The art design scene is flourishing
Thanks to the likes of The Jam Factory, Wongwian Yai is becoming a hub for art and design. Every week this riverside space hosts the city’s most-hyped events, from art exhibitions to pop-up weekend markets and indie book events at Candide Book Store. In the same complex, Never Ending Summer serves up delicious Thai food in an immaculate industrial space beside the Chao Phraya River, while Li-bra-ry does a great cup of coffee. Meanwhile, the small-but-bustling Charoen Rat Road is paradise for aspiring designers, lined with leather traders and shops selling raw materials, from sequins to sophisticated black suede, at prices you just won’t find at Pratunam or Sampeng.

4. It’s truly the best of both worlds
While Wongwian Yai’s low-key residential properties give it a warm, less-hectic atmosphere, the area’s extremely well connected with the center of town, too. You can live the ultimate slow life across the river knowing you’re only a few stops on the BTS away from Bangkok’s central business districts of Silom and Sathorn.

5. It’s value for money
It’s no great secret that property insiders are calling Wongwian Yai one of Bangkok’s best investment areas right now. Here, you’re not investing only in new property, but in a way of life and a quiet but connected location that’s appealing to homebuyers and rental tenants alike.
