Rent property in Ratchada, Bangkok

Ratchada, short for Ratchadaphisek, takes its name from the avenue it lines. The district runs north of Rama 9, from Thailand Cultural Centre MRT station up to the Lat Phrao junction. It borders Asok-Rama 9 to the south and Ratchathewi and Ari to the west, and reaches Chatuchak to the north.

The MRT Blue Line runs beneath the whole avenue, with direct trains to Sukhumvit and Silom. By day the district is all offices and the Stock Exchange of Thailand; in the evening the malls, restaurants and Huai Khwang night market take over. People buy here to live near the metro or to let long term, mostly to office staff and young professionals.
