Where do the various expats of different nationalities live in Bangkok ?
A. The answer to the previous question applies here just as well. Americans tend to stay near the American International School Bangkok (ISB) which is near the airport but conveniently linked to central Bangkok by a network of expressways. The British and Australians tend to favour the British Bangkok Patana School area in south east Bangkok whereas other nationalities have their favourite areas, too, near their schools or embassies. The Japanese, by far the largest expat community in Thailand, tend to prefer the general upper Sukhumvit Road area since there is a Japanese school nearby and many Japanese men work in the various factories along the Bangna-Trat Road and within industrial Samut Prakan, an adjoining province to Greater Bangkok.
