Once a forgotten area between hipster Ari and touristy Chatuchak, Saphan Kwai (Thai for “buffalo bridge”) is home to humble yet stylish cafes, rooftop bars and restaurants.

Saphan Kwai BTS Station is where to find all kinds of specialty shops, from second-hand books to amulets, Thai costume rentals to gambling accessories. The area also offers a vast array of tasty street-side grub, and there is also a large Big C Supercentre that sells everything from fresh produce to TVs and fashion items.
