Another stunning building. I love the clean lines, particularly the entrance area. No expense seems to have been spared which is so refreshing to see. When I compare the area to London it's not hard to see which country is going forward, unlike our own cheap crammed-in, Brexit suffering Britain.
Another great video! It’s amazing how quickly areas can change in Bangkok. It’s nice to see progress but I hope the city maintains the charm and character that makes such a special place. Keep up the great work and thank you for all you do.
This was really helpful. Thanks! My hotel is near Nana station, and I was worried about the availability of escalators at the station. Now I have a better idea of the station.
I LOVE it; progress. It still has everything else that makes Thailand amazing. The contrast is what makes it, you don't have to look too far to find the old and traditional and cultural. It's all good. Old with the new-Amazing Thailand. ❤️🙏🏼🇹🇭 How do I get 7-11 "Hello Welcome" as my ring tone?? 😃😅👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼I love it too!
Here in Ubonratchathani we also have some 7-11 shops with the "Hello welcome" voice when the door opens. When you heard it so often, you tend to forget it is there or at times it becomes annoying. I guess it is similar to hearing the "Please mind the gap" like a million time in the trains 🙂
Why some western don’t want Thailand to be change in a good way this is year 2023 .Bangkok has a lot of old charms depend on locations the prices of this area not cheap so why they built high rise this is common sense.😊😊😊
Excited too see the center Modernize unlike others! With the expansion of the Public Transportation places that are dilapidated can transform to a pub street night life hub that ppl wish for! Even places around Don Mueng that used to be popular could be revitalized to a nice hang out spot! Though I would like to see these new buildings commission some Creative Thai Artist for a Masterful Piece!!! Without creative art the space is ….
Since I haven't been to Bangkok since November 2019 & knew this area well may I say Thanks for this vlog. When I first visited Bangkok in 2003 there was an abandoned & half-built Tower block standing where the O-NES is now. A victim of the Asian financial crash approximately 5 years before? Where the JLK stands on soi 7 was indeed some bars but along Sukhumvit was a series of craft shops. Once JLK opens my guess is those vendors which operate alongside it on Suk will be "moved on." Which leaves those buildings next to it along to soi 11 (including soi 7/1) a prime area for redevelopment. Similar from soi 7 to soi 5 or even to soi 3? One thing about Bangkok is that it doesn't stand still where developments are concerned.
Great video! I am going to be back soon. I think this is one of many projects started before Covid, just like the one on Sukhumvit 22, which is huge and near finish. It's a good news for incoming visitors, because housing supply and demand off balance continues, and and short time rental become more available and cheaper. I made a video on this topic a few weeks ago, check it out if you are going to be in Thailand.
Bangkok is transforming into a well planned city. Nana used to be a very dark area during day time and it is amazing what difference it makes when you setback the front area for open green space for a high rise building and now natural daylight is streaming in.
A Thai here, I noticed the massive improvement during the last few months for street lights re-installation with obvious replacement to LED, signal light and countdown for crossing, more clear signs for traffic lanes. I’m glad to see major development to the city. We still have big room to improve when it comes to safe and organized footpaths and taking down the cables and poles.
How far up will the walkway go from the station? I think the works at Landmark must be to connect with it. It would be good if it meant you could walk to Nana Square without crossing soi 3.
Zie er goed uit , waren daar in april, de werken gaan vlug vooruit we zijn terug in Bangkok 26 okt kan niet wachten want in België hebben we niet veel zomer gehad Thanks Jeroen voor de update
Thanks hombre....I remember the days/nights at the JLK grounds there used to be small food stalls (very romantic) for very cheap money....and some with very tasty food! And you would sit outside - not in ac covered areas! where has all the romance gone??....Enjoy!!
The gentrification of Bangkok continues. Sad to see the city loosing so much of it's character. It will be just another Singapore soon, only for the rich.
No it’s called development, if you are poor don’t come to Thailand then. Obviously your a sexpat like cheap food and cheap women. Singapore is one of the best cities in the world.
Ehhh BKK has a Steady Progression Change! Once you compare BKK to Metro Manila, KL etc have completely modernized many areas while Bangkok has been modernizing the areas yet not completely! Technically by Now Sukhumvit should’ve already been Completely Modernized from On nut to Siam with the 20+ yr BTS history but it hasn’t! Also with the expansion of Public Transportation Line areas outside the city center has create businesses at cheaper areas and focus hopefully becoming some cool hubs to hangout enjoy!
00:07:05 : Actually, in late 2010 this exact spot was the place where the trailer park of the crew that was filming Hangover Pt.2 was located. But except for those few weeks it was eventually empty land in the decades before that, AFAIK.
Is that not the location that used to have a number of fish restaurants? Yes it was a bit run down - but it was not sleazy. Just how many offices are necessary in a world of remote working?
Well, there is another 7-Eleven with a sign that reads 'Hello, Welcome' (even with an accent) located on Charoen Nakhon, not far from the Sena Fest Community Mall. It is on the opposite side of the road from Je Jum Noodle Restaurant.
I think the 7-11 in the bottom floor of Gaysorn also says "hello, welcome". It brings out my inner 6 year old for some reason and I drive my wife nuts for a good while after hearing that.
Must be 24 ish years since I was there. Stayed at the Park Hotel and visited Beer Garden for, erm, beer 😬. Changed a lot. I was there when the BTS first opened, we watched test runs from the hotel room.
Amazing to see how Bangkok is changing constantly? Can also be tragic. Can also destroy the character of Bangkok along with its rich history. Come visit Bangkok, home of some of the nicest office buildings. No thank you.
There are plenty of transportation lines where those street life hubs can create and move too. This is the city center it should keep up and generate corporations for the progression of Thailand!
i reckon only a handful of people will work in the building. I wonder if its just for image. Its positive if the general income and quality of life is progressing for the average thai (and education more accessible) @@Iceyfire12

This city just blows my mind everytime I see some of it.
Thanks Jeroen! Always good seeing you.
City of angel for real, because our feet ain't touching the ground anymore with all these skywalks popping up everywhere.😂
Very generous of them to share the front space to the public 😊

“You know it’s amazing what can make a grown man happy right?” 😂😝😂😝😂 this made me smiled haha
Haha, yeah me too :-)
The hello welcome is something I miss about Thailand so I bought one online and have it by the front door of my house 😂
Haha, I want one in my house as well.
Nana so beautiful place 😊
This was really helpful. Thanks! My hotel is near Nana station, and I was worried about the availability of escalators at the station. Now I have a better idea of the station.
I look forward to our next visit to Bangkok later this year to marvel at the difference.

The one across sukhumvit from the Q and Ones sure went up quickly
nice. the pressure must be on now to take a power washer to the grungy BTS concrete and maybe add some paint to brighten it up
A treat watching your videos as usual. You always have a positive, upbeat vibe in each and every one!
Thanks ...Don't know the O-Nes Tower are include a food area ...

Yes, it was there for a very long time certainly from late 90's. Looking much more HiSo these days.
Beautiful New big building, and so clean everything. 🙏
The old charming Bangkok is disappearing if the don’t take care, anyway Bkk will be always my favorite city, 😊🇹🇭👍🏼☀️

What makes most grown men happy there are the "Hello, welcome"s in soi 4 and 7. 😆
Haha
🎉 good place

Great I love Bangkok
Will be in Bangkok shortly. It's amazing city

Yes, they where filming the Soi Cowboy scenes in Soi 7/1
Is that not the location that used to have a number of fish restaurants? Yes it was a bit run down - but it was not sleazy. Just how many offices are necessary in a world of remote working?
Is this building where the old multi storey car park that was empty for years.Lovely looking building.

This area now changes a lot from the past 10 year.😢😢😢😮😮😅😅😅😊😊
I know when Iám in Thailand if I hear the sound "End of Walkway" and yes I also like the sounds at 7-11 🙂
Jeroen can you do a video on getting a Rabbit Card ? Great content as usual adding more to the list already thinking 2024 before I've done 2023s trip
Hi dear
can you tell me which floor food court in o, nes tower and also 7eleven places
Amazing to see how Bangkok is changing constantly? Can also be tragic. Can also destroy the character of Bangkok along with its rich history. Come visit Bangkok, home of some of the nicest office buildings. No thank you.
😮 I am lost! So this is the lot right next to Nana BTS, that’s been empty for at least 20 years!
Yes, exactly. At Soi 6
@@globaltravelmate A few years ago I met a Swedish guy, who had contacted the owners. He wanted to rent the area and turn it into a dog daycare
New Armani tailor
They still have Nana plaza and the go go clubs and bars I guess? Maybe that is a different area.
Soi 4
Hello Welcome Thank You Goodbye
I am looking to expand to SE Asia but the problem with Sukumvit is the pollution. It's not a safe place to reside and seems to be getting only worse.
Relax, moaners! Bangkok is still the same ladyboy you used to know. Just some new clothes and she'll go to the spa more regularly from now on 😘
the old wonderfully exciting sexy buzzing street life has been killed by this cold corporate soul destroying desert

Hi dear can you help me just I want to know which BTS station i have to stop before siam premium outlet because i want to go there
Siam Premium Outlet is very far from the city center. There is no BTS station nearby.
Hello,
Is BTS Skytrain free for Senior (60 up) people ?
Thank you so much.
Very disappointing how they are changing everything in Bangkok to nothing but office buildings and condos. Bye bye Nana, I guess your time is up…
