Finally

How was it?

"Ekamai Station" in a calm atmosphere where things of Japan are easily obtained is a very popular spot for Thai young people and foreigners.

The road of Ekkamai is rich in green, and the sidewalk is relatively easy to walk, but I actually feel very far to the destination as I walk.

If you go to "Stella" or "Sabai · Chai" which takes 15 minutes walk from the station, we recommend traveling by taxi.
