Ari is a low-key neighborhood in Bangkok with some awesome food. It isn’t as busy a Thonglor, but it’s restaurants can go toe to toe with the best Bangkok has to offer. If you are looking for a quieter more walkable part of the city near amazing restaurants, then Ari is the place to be.
If you are looking for a place to stay, we highly recommend the Yard Hostel or Rest Hostel Ari. Both offer private or dorm rooms. They are super well designed and very clean. Really they are more like boutique hotels than hostels. If you are a traveler looking for community, then check out the Yard and if you are looking for a quieter more private experience then check out Rest Hostel. For more information on both these, check out our full article on hostels in Ari
