Bang Phli area guide: living next to Suvarnabhumi and Bang Na
A short, factual look at Bang Phli in Samut Prakan: where it is, what is nearby and what to check when you view a home there.
Bang Phli is a district of Samut Prakan province, on the eastern edge of Bangkok. Many buyers and tenants look at it because it sits next to Bang Na and near the airport. This guide collects what is publicly known about the area and tells you what to check yourself. We do not quote prices here, because they change with each property.
Where it is
Bang Phli is a district (amphoe) of Samut Prakan, with its district seat at Bang Phli Yai. It lies east of Bangkok, and its neighbour on the Bangkok side is the Bang Na area. Suvarnabhumi Airport, which opened in September 2006, is in the Bang Phli district.
What is nearby
Mega Bangna, a large shopping centre on the Bang Na-Trat corridor, is a short drive from many homes in the area. Wat Bang Phli Yai Nai in Bang Phli Yai sub-district is known for Luang Pho To, a large gilded bronze Buddha image, and attracts visitors from outside the district. It is separate from the nearby Wat Bang Phli Yai Klang, so check the name before you go.
Who the area suits
People who travel often by air, and those who work in the airport and logistics areas, may value the short distance to Suvarnabhumi. Families who want more space than a central Bangkok condo can offer often look at houses and townhouses here. The trade-off is travel time into central Bangkok, which depends on the hour and the route.
What to check when you view a home
Drive the route to your workplace or school at the hour you would normally travel, and note the noise from road and flight paths at different times of day. Ask about drainage and flooding history on the street and in the project. For a house, ask about the project's common fees and management. For a condo, ask for the monthly common charges and the facilities that tenants may use.
