Ari's identity is built firmly on its independent spirit and local character. Third-wave coffee shops experimenting with unusual brewing methods, vinyl record stores that attract crate-diggers from across the city, and small-batch bakeries turning out artisanal sourdough give the neighborhood a personality that shopping malls and chain restaurants simply cannot replicate. The creative professionals and young couples who've chosen Ari as their home base value authentic, well-crafted experiences over flashy mainstream entertainment. This makes them natural fans of what LENGOLF offers at Mercury Ville, Chidlom. A BTS ride takes about 10 minutes with no transfers, delivering you to a venue where Korean golf simulators share space with a thoughtfully curated drinks menu and quality food. For the Ari crowd, it's a refreshing and genuinely engaging alternative to the usual cafe-hopping and brunch routine.
About Ari
Ari is where Bangkok's creative professionals come to sip specialty coffee and browse independent boutiques. The neighborhood's cafe culture has made it a weekend destination, with Ari Soi 1 hosting a concentration of artisan coffee shops, brunch spots, and vintage stores. La Villa Ari provides convenient shopping, and the overall atmosphere is noticeably more relaxed and local than the tourist-heavy areas further south on the Sukhumvit Line.
Ari excels at cafes and brunch spots, but when you want actual entertainment, the options thin out quickly.
Indoor Golf at LENGOLF
LENGOLF at BTS Chidlom, about 10 minutes from Ari, offers the kind of unique, well-crafted experience that Ari residents seek out. Korean simulators, quality drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere combine into entertainment that feels discovered rather than mainstream. It's the anti-chain experience.
