Thonglor is an upmarket, cosmopolitan, residential area on the edge of Central Bangkok, in the newly rezoned entertainment zone, surrounded by many clubs and restaurants which are frequented by both young Thais and expatriates.
You can walk the streets in safety and won't have to worry about being touted.
Thonglor is close to many of the International schools. It also hosts the Japanese quarter of Bangkok. Thonglor has a less artifical feel than many areas traditionally frequented by backpackers. Here you can experience life in Bangkok & Thailand on a more realistic, down to earth, day to day level.
