เพลินจิต–วิทยุ — Embassy row behind glass
embassiesfive-starpolishedpark-side
Wireless Road stacks embassies, five-stars and headquarters between Ploenchit and the park, while Soi Ruam Rudi hides a village of low-rise apartments and lunch spots behind them. Expect marble lobbies and morning runs in Lumpini Park. The most formal corner of Bangkok — and quieter at night than anywhere this central has a right to be.
