To confirm
Ari is a residential district three stops from Chatuchak on the Skytrain line. The sois running off Phahonyothin are lined with low houses converted into cafés, and the density of seats with a socket and wifi is the highest in the city — without the noise or the rents of Thonglor.
A café charges for what you drink, a coworking space by the day or the month. Both are within five minutes' walk of the station; the choice comes down to whether you need a quiet call, not to price.
Getting there
BTS Ari, Sukhumvit line. The whole district is walkable from exit 3.
