Samyan (CBD), a lifestyle community area, is a meeting point for the new generation in the city’s heart. Also, a source of business, commercial, companies offices, housing, a hub for education and learning, and a famous fresh market in Bangkok.
This old neighborhood offers plenty of excellent restaurants, and most are serving delicious food at affordable prices, including “Jok Sam Yan,” a legendary porridge shop famous in the country.
It is located between the new and old economic districts, near Chulalongkorn University — Thailand’s oldest and most renowned higher education institution. As a result, many students from all over the country come to live in this zone and its vicinity. The location has a high potential for creating new things; thus, attracting new entrepreneurs, startups, freelancers, and tourists.
Sam Yan is in Bang Rak district, which blends and perfectly connects the new city with the old town. It is a Chinese community that grew out of Yaowarat and near major business centers, whether Silom, Sathorn, Siam, Ratchadamri, and Rama 4. The Sam Yan Intersection is the intersection between 3 roads: Rama IV, Phaya Thai, and Si Phraya Road.
The area is surrounded by modern shopping centers, mixed-use projects, 3-star and 4-star hotels, companies buildings, modern offices for rents, business services, large halls for events, co-working spaces, banks, commercial buildings, historic buildings, a wide variety of leading shops, supermarkets, retail outlets, condominiums, residences, dormitories, language schools, art schools, dance schools, tailoring schools, book centers, fitness centers, and parcel delivery services.
Moreover, one can find a food court, fresh market, coffee shop, cafes, Japanese and Korean restaurants, steak houses, bakery shops, beauty salons, sporting goods stores, clothing stores, home goods stores, stationery shop, scenic viewpoints, photo corners, famous high schools, essential temples, communities, foundation, activity areas, learning area for students, university students and the general public.
Tip: Sam Yan MRT Station (Exit #2) has a walkway connecting to the shopping malls, a tunnel 200 meters long creatively designed in space style — where everyone stops to take pictures.
