Thai families, international-school teachers and foreigners all doing their everyday shopping here
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
On the streets of On Nut, Thai families come for their weekly grocery shopping, international school teachers stop by to pick up food on their way home from work, and foreigners stand outside 7-Eleven ordering grilled pork skewers. Locals and foreigners live mixed together here—unlike neighborhoods where foreigners cluster into their own enclave—and the vibe is relaxed. International schools line On Nut Road, and there are plenty of apartments along the street too. From BTS On Nut station, you can walk across the skywalk straight into the second floor of Century The Movie Plaza.
Century is a community-style mall—the mall, movie theater, and hotel are all in one place. For everyday shopping, it only ranks 14th out of Bangkok's 32 neighborhoods, but you can walk straight off the station skywalk into the mall. T77 is a planned residential development with green space and wide sidewalks, where kids ride scooters on the streets—it feels like a testing ground for suburban living. Habito, next to On Nut Road, was developer Sansiri's first community mall, designed to be a "third space" for residents. Inside, there are cafes, restaurants, and a co-working space. At Wat Mahabut temple on On Nut Soi 7, there's a shrine to Mae Nak, Thailand's famous female ghost. According to legend, a senior monk sealed her inside a clay jar and threw it into the Phra Khanong canal. Worshippers wrap colorful cloth around the bodhi tree trunk at the temple, and also release live fish into this canal.
On Nut doesn't have a large park—on weekends, you can head outside the neighborhood to Rama IX Park, which has jogging trails, a botanical garden, and a lake. From our street photos, building exteriors here rank 23rd out of 32 neighborhoods—toward the lower end. There's also noise from construction sites and traffic on the streets; traffic gets congested during rush hour, especially along Sukhumvit Road.
The Phra Khanong canal was widened and dredged during the reign of Rama III, between 1837 and 1840, after which more and more families began settling along its banks. Sukhumvit Road was completed in 1936, and On Nut Road is its Soi 77—the road's name comes from the surname of the landowner who donated the land for it back then. BTS On Nut station opened in December 1999, and served as the eastern terminus of the Sukhumvit Line for over a decade afterward. It wasn't until August 2011 that the eastward extension opened. Century opened in October 2018.

Maps show the shops and the sights. What a street is like, you only know by walking it. TidyMap uses AI street imagery analysis and public facility data to turn each area's street environment and everyday convenience into something you can compare. Search an address and look at the street outside first.
How to read it: yellow = poor, blue = good; grey = not enough data
TidyMap rates the street environment and everyday convenience. It does not assess the home itself, safety, noise or actual living experience. Street environment scores use AI assessments of imagery; convenience scores use public facility data.
