Thonglor Soi 13 — SEENSPACE, What's Open and What Isn't
By Joe Thonglor — Thonglor neighborhood writer & fact-checker · · Last updated:
Thonglor Soi 13 is best known locally as the home of SEENSPACE, a community mall that stays open until 2am — and as one of the sois that cuts through to Phetchaburi Road.
Here’s what’s worth knowing. Importantly, we re-checked everything against Google Business data, because several well-reviewed venues still showing up in search results have closed permanently.
Where Thonglor Soi 13 is
The soi runs off Thonglor Road (Sukhumvit 55) in Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110.
- Enter from Thonglor Road — it sits mid-road, towards the Phetchaburi end
- Cuts through to Phetchaburi Road, a shortcut locals use to dodge traffic
- Home Place stands at the mouth of the soi — an easy landmark, with parking inside the building
Getting to Thonglor Soi 13
| From | How | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| BTS Thonglor | Exit 3 → motorbike taxi or red songthaew | Soi 13 is deep into Thonglor Road — walking isn’t realistic |
| Phetchaburi side | Come in from Phetchaburi Road and cut down | Useful at rush hour |
| By car | Enter from either the Thonglor or Phetchaburi end | Home Place at the mouth has in-building parking |
Red songthaews (small shared pickups) run the length of Thonglor Road — cheaper than a motorbike taxi but you wait. The motorbike-taxi queue sits at the mouth of Thonglor near Exit 3.

That’s over 1,100 reviews still pointing people at shuttered venues. Always check before you travel.
SEENSPACE — the soi’s community mall
SEENSPACE Thong Lo (251/1 Thonglor Soi 13) is the heart of this soi — a community mall gathering restaurants and bars in one place.
- Google rating 4.6 from 869 reviews — the most-reviewed venue on the soi
- Open until 2am, so it works for dinner and for staying out afterwards
Notable venues inside:
- TALAYJAI — seafood restaurant, rated 5.0 from 442 reviews
- Ombra Modern Tavern — wine bar, rated 4.9 from 247 reviews, open 17:00–01:30
Other venues on Thonglor Soi 13
The soi is organised around buildings and projects rather than a strip of standalone shopfronts:
SODALITY building (263)
- Dry Wave Cocktail Studio (2nd floor) — cocktail bar, 4.8 from 276 reviews, open 19:00–01:00
- GOOD CHĀ MATCHA — Japanese teahouse, 4.9 from 268 reviews, open 09:00–19:00
Elsewhere on the soi
- ELITE Restaurant (16) — restaurant, 4.6 from 255 reviews
- David & Co. (283/39, 8th floor) — tailor, 5.0 from 204 reviews, open 10:00–17:00
Worth noting: this soi runs both day (tea, tailoring) and night (cocktails, wine) — unlike some sois here that are nightlife-only.

Who it suits
Thonglor Soi 13 works well if you:
- Want a community mall on your own soi — SEENSPACE means you rarely need to go far
- Regularly use the Thonglor–Phetchaburi route; this soi cuts through
- Like having both daytime and night-time options on one street
Maybe not for you if: you want to walk from the BTS — Soi 13 is deep enough that you’ll take a motorbike taxi or songthaew nearly every time.
