When visiting Bangkok, don't just spend all your time at malls and night markets! If you enjoy a slower pace and love exploring the city's hidden gems, Ari is definitely a treasure trove of surprises. This neighborhood is filled with the aroma of coffee and unexpected corners adorned with colorful murals and street art—like hidden Easter eggs scattered throughout the city. Every few steps, you'll encounter delightful surprises. We planned a half-day Ari City Walk this time, indulging in croissant ice cream while casually wandering through the alleys. The murals around Soi Ari Samphan 4 and 5 truly caught my eye. Vibrant yet tasteful, some depict animals, others everyday life, and some incorporate Thai cultural motifs. These murals are tucked away in alleys, some paired with weathered old houses, others adorning the walls of coffee shops. They create a harmonious blend of city life and art. Ari is the kind of neighborhood best experienced on foot. It's not crowded with tourists but brimming with the beauty of everyday life. If you want to create unique memories in Bangkok, this area is definitely worth dedicating half a day to. Capture the city's gentlest corners with your camera and take home unforgettable moments.

If you also like to visit quiet corners in the city with memories of scents, then you can’t miss this small fragrance shop located in the Ari hipster district - Le Labo The low-key Moroccan orange wall exterior is like a space walking from the desert into the city; it is artistic during the day and makes people want to take a few more glances. In addition to various scents, perfumes, and wabi-sabi books, you can also choose a label to customize the scent to give as a gift, so that the scent can also become part of the blessing. If you like sensory journeys, this place will definitely make you remember that Bangkok is not only bustling, but also full of fragrance.
