Thonglor Soi 17 — The Commons, Divana Spa and 1923 Bar
By Joe Thonglor — Thonglor neighborhood writer & fact-checker · · Last updated:
Thonglor Soi 17 draws around 1,900 searches a month, and the main reason is The Commons, the popular community mall — but the soi also has draws that aren’t in the mall, above all the premium Divana Divine Spa.
This page covers everything on Soi 17, checked one by one on Google Maps on 18 July 2026, and clears up the soi-name and district confusion. Every venue, rating and opening time here was checked against Google Business one place at a time, not pulled from a stale dataset (our team lives in Thonglor — how we verify).
Where Thonglor Soi 17 is — and which district it’s actually in
The soi pin on Google Maps says Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110.
Worth flagging because venue addresses on the soi disagree — some (like the 1923 bar and Sugarray) list Khlong Toei Nuea, while others and the soi pin say Khlong Tan Nuea, because the soi sits near the boundary between the two subdistricts. For paperwork, go with the soi pin: Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana.
Soi 17 runs off Thonglor Road (Sukhumvit 55) on the odd-numbered side, around the middle of the road.
⚠️ The soi-name that makes this confusing
The Commons — which everyone calls “Thonglor Soi 17” — has a formal Google address of “Soi Akkhaphatsadu”, not Thonglor Soi 17 directly.
| What confuses people | What some sources say | Current Google Maps |
|---|---|---|
| The Commons’s soi name | Formal address lists “Soi Akkhaphatsadu” | Its tenants use “Thonglor Soi 17”; everyone calls it Thonglor 17 |
| Subdistrict | Some venues (1923 bar, Sugarray) list “Khlong Toei Nuea” | The soi pin says “Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana 10110” |
Soi Akkhaphatsadu is the small lane The Commons stands on, but its tenants (ROAST, Guss Damn Good and the rest) use a Thonglor Soi 17 address, and everyone refers to it as Thonglor 17. In practice: if you tell a driver “Akkhaphatsadu” they may look blank — say “The Commons Thonglor” or “Thonglor Soi 17” instead.
It’s the same pattern as Thonglor Soi 25, which is also called Soi Saeng Ngoen.
Getting to Thonglor Soi 17
| From | How | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| BTS Thonglor | Exit 3 → motorbike taxi or red songthaew | Soi 17 is mid-road, not as close to BTS as the low-numbered sois |
| Car / taxi | Ask for “The Commons Thonglor” | Most drivers know it |
| Red songthaew | Runs the length of Thonglor Road; get off at the Soi 17 mouth | Cheaper than a motorbike taxi but you wait |

Who it suits
Thonglor Soi 17 works well if you:
- Want The Commons — eat, drink and work in one place, open late until 1am
- Are after a premium spa like Divana on the same soi
- Like a specialist bar such as the Japanese highball bar 1923
Maybe not for you if: you want a soi you can walk to from BTS — Soi 17 is mid-road; try Thonglor Soi 5 or Thonglor Soi 8, closer to the station.
