Ekkamai is Bangkok's gateway to the eastern seaboard - the neighborhood's bus terminal dispatches weekend travelers to the beaches of Pattaya, Ko Samet, and Ko Chang on a daily basis. During the working week, the area maintains a relaxed and distinctly local energy centered around Gateway Ekkamai's Japanese-themed mall and the popular dining strip along Ekkamai Soi 6, where hidden-gem restaurants draw devoted regulars. For residents who love their neighborhood but occasionally want entertainment that doesn't require a full cross-city expedition, LENGOLF at BTS Chidlom is a genuinely solid option. Six stops on the Sukhumvit Line, about 12 minutes total, and you're at Mercury Ville for indoor golf with a full bar and food menu. It's the kind of outing that works equally well on a spontaneous whim or as a carefully planned group night out.
About Ekkamai
Ekkamai is Bangkok's understated neighborhood with growing character. Gateway Ekkamai mall serves the local community, while the Eastern Bus Terminal connects Bangkok to Thailand's eastern seaboard and islands. The area has developed its own dining scene, particularly along Ekkamai Soi 6, attracting residents who prefer a more relaxed pace than neighboring Thonglor but still want quality restaurants and cafes within walking distance.
Ekkamai is a great neighborhood to live in, but entertainment options within reach are limited without heading downtown.
Indoor Golf at LENGOLF
Six BTS stops to Chidlom, and LENGOLF at Mercury Ville delivers an evening that's genuinely different from the usual Ekkamai options. Korean simulators make golf fun for beginners, the bar keeps drinks flowing, and the whole experience works whether you planned it or decided on a whim.
