This part of Bangkok is on the up and up, which is not surprising when you look at the cheaper accommodation costs and the unique blend of old and new developments. Slightly away from the heart of the city, it’s only a quick Skytrain or bus ride away from the action. Samut Prakarn, Chonburi, and Suvarnabhumi Airport are closer to this area as well. Bang Na’s shopping malls and a variety of housing options make it easy to live here, especially if you prefer to be away from high rise buildings.
