While millennials keep going back to Charoenkrung, Gen Z is ferrying across the river to Charoen Nakhon to take a breather at Ours, the city’s hottest lifestyle hub.
The brainchild of actor-architect Sarin Ronnakiat and his family, the multi-use space breathes new life into an abandoned kindergarten tucked deep at the end of Soi Charoen Nakhon 10 (it’s opposite ICONSIAM). Sarin has an eye for nice things and the entire space boasts contemporary Scandinavian-inspired aesthetics with a mid-century twist. Right now, only a few shops, which he carefully handpicked, are now open while construction on half of the space continues.
The shops include buzzy W8 Space, a cafe-slash-wine bar that serves hot brews, reds, and whites in a European-inspired setting.
And then there is Holiday Pastry, Sarin’s own dessert restaurant. Featuring mid-century modern interiors, European vintage-inspired furniture, a lot of natural light, and a variety of palate-pleasing desserts, the place is perfectly made for both cameras and tastebuds. Holiday Pastry will start serving food from 24 September.
