Ploenchit
Embassies, flagship retail and quiet residential lanes off Sukhumvit’s head.
Between the embassies and the park
Ploenchit runs from the shopping district toward Lumphini, a stretch where embassies, flagship hotels and quiet residential lanes share the same few blocks. It is central Bangkok at its most composed.
The addresses here are diplomatic and discreet, chosen by residents who want the centre’s reach and a measure of remove from its crowds.
The centre, set slightly back from itself.
Living here
Central Embassy and its Park Hyatt set the register; the Waldorf Astoria and the St. Regis hold the hospitality; and Noble Ploenchit leads the residential side, a short walk from Lumphini’s green.
Getting around
Phloen Chit BTS is one stop from Chidlom and two from Siam, with the expressway entrances close for departures from the city.
