Ekamai is a cosmopolitan neighborhood in Bangkok’s extended CBD. This dynamic area offers a mix of trendy living lifestyles, bustling workplaces, and convenient amenities. With its close proximity to Thonglor and a variety of international supermarkets like Donki Mall and Nihonmura Mall, Ekamai has become a sought-after destination for expats seeking a vibrant community.

Over the past decade, Ekamai has undergone significant transformation, with over 230,000 square meters of new developments such as T-ONE, DONKI MALL, At Ekkamai, Earth Ekamai, and APAC Tower. These mixed-use and commercial projects, along with various international community malls, have solidified Ekamai’s position as Bangkok’s International district. Despite this rapid development, Ekamai managed to retain its peaceful residential community atmosphere, making it a highly sought-after residential neighborhood.

Ekamai’s position as Bangkok’s extended CBD offers its residents a convenient lifestyle and easy access to transportation. With easy access to public transportation and major roads, residents can enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful neighborhood and proximity to urban amenities. Area between Ekamai soi 12th and 30th is particularly sought-after for its tranquil atmosphere. Within a short distance, residents can find a wide range of lifestyle malls, international schools, and entertainment options in Thong Lo. Northern part of Ekamai offers connections to expressways, Sukhumvit road, and Petchburi roads, providing excellent accessibility to both Sukhumvit and Asoke-Rama 9 business districts.

However, actual selling prices as advertised online are as much as 950,000 baht per square wah, representing a whopping 171% above the assessed value.
