BKK #08: H1 Urban Complex
A very cool place in Bangkok is the H1 Urban Complex. Located on soi Thonglor (Sukhumvit soi 55), up the street from BTS station Thong Lo.
The great-looking modern complex contains a furniture shop, a clothing shop, a book store (mostly of imported design books, a lot of which are Japanese), restaurants (one with large cushions for relaxing outside), and a delicious ice cream bar called Hay.
There's a lot of greenery amidst the multiple buildings forming the complex, making it feel quite refreshing.

To go to H1, since it's a bit far from the Thong Lo station, you can take a small red bus which costs only 3฿. You get on the bus at any place just by waving and hopping on, and then you give the money to some kid walking around on board (not that there's much room to walk around). At first I thought that was some beggar kid (there are a lot of beggars in Bangkok, including many very young ones) and wouldn't really trust him until I saw other people all giving him their fare.

Yeah I thought of you while checking out the cool design bookshop (the two-floor building seen on the 2nd picture), thinking you'd probably go nuts. :)

I'm looking for a topic about H 1 in soi Thonglor and your website is what I've found. Enjoy reading your diary about Thailand.
It seems you went around the town and
record many things. Cool !!

Does anyone know about the ice-cream buffet on Thonglor Rd., named "Providence" ka?
