During my last trip to Bangkok, I spent some time exploring Thonglor (Thong Lo), one of the city’s trendiest districts. This area is packed with stylish cafés, creative spaces, and cozy hangouts. If you’re looking for a chill place to relax, work, or simply enjoy good coffee, here are four spots I personally visited and loved.
1. (un)FASHION Cafe
📍 3 Ekkamai 10 Alley, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand
This was one of my favourite stops! (un)FASHION Cafe is a super cozy and family-friendly spot, with plenty of space for kids to play. I noticed a lot of Japanese patrons here, which makes sense since the area is popular among expat families. The best part? It’s connected to a vintage shop selling beautifully crafted leather products. I spent some time browsing before settling down with a cup of coffee, just soaking in the relaxing vibe.
2. Bigknit Cafe
📍 1st Floor, RQMALL Sukhumvit 49, Watthana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand
This café was such a unique find! If you love knitting or crafts, you’ll definitely enjoy this place. Not only do they serve coffee and snacks, but they also sell yarn and knitting supplies. I saw a few regulars working on their projects while chatting over tea—it felt like a little creative sanctuary in the middle of Bangkok. Even if you’re not into knitting, the warm, homey atmosphere makes it worth a visit.
3. theCOMMONS
📍 335 Akkhara Phatsadu Alley, Khwaeng Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand
I love discovering cool community spaces, and theCOMMONS was exactly that. It’s a semi-industrial co-sharing hub where people come to work, chill, and socialize. The open layout, natural light, and mix of cafés, food kiosks, and artisanal shops made it an ideal place to hang out. I grabbed a coffee and just enjoyed the creative energy—it’s perfect if you need a spot to work remotely or just unwind.
4. Audrey Cafe & Bistro
📍 Soi Thong Lo 11, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand
For a more elegant and laidback experience, Audrey Cafe & Bistro was the perfect spot. The European-inspired decor gave it such a charming feel, making it a great place for a relaxed meal. I could see why it’s a favourite for couples—there were plenty of picture-perfect corners, and the ambiance was just lovely. I enjoyed a delicious meal while taking my time to soak in the cozy setting.
Why I Loved Exploring Thonglor
Thonglor is more than just a nightlife district—it’s full of hidden gems perfect for café-hopping, working, or just unwinding. Whether you’re into crafts, community spaces, or stylish bistros, there’s something for everyone.
If you’re planning a trip to Bangkok, I highly recommend checking out these spots! Let me know if you’ve been to any of them or if you have other favourites in Thonglor. 😊
