X2 Vibe issues guide to On Nut

Bangkok is a magnet for travellers but, as the city’s most popular areas become overcrowded, new areas are starting to emerge, attracting adventurous, younger visitors. On Nut is one. 
Just a few Skytrain stops from the heart of Bangkok, On Nut is nestled between downtown Sukhumvit and ultra-cool Thonglor, putting the city’s main highlights within easy reach. But, being away from the tourist hotspots, On Nut provides many wonderful examples of authentic Thai life. 
X2 Vibe Bangkok Sukhumvit has created a new Destination Guide to On Nut. Curious guests can use the guide to uncover authentic urban activities that can’t be found in the usual tourist handbooks. 
From chic cafes to hidden temples, outdoor activities, public pastimes and even simple trips to the supermarket, the Destination Guide enables guests to be immersed in the day-to-day life and culture of their destination. All 11 activities and attractions are easily reached from the hotel. 
“Our guests are seeking a new type of travel experience, less focused on traditional tourist attractions and more on local, authentic cultural exploration,” says general manager Charin Tuncharoen.
“Our ‘Live Like a Local’ campaign and Destination Guide will open up our neighbourhood, revealing an array of attractions and activities that few visitors have a chance to discover,” says Charin. “From shops to supermarkets, farms to food courts, temples to Thai-boxing clubs, these are truly local experiences which are genuinely popular with Bangkokians.”
The attractions include the Wat Bang Na Nok Pier, where the canals teem with catfish, and Bang Nam Phueng, home to a floating market and many restaurants. Slightly further afield is Bang Kra Jao, the “Green Lung of Bangkok”. 
There’s also muay thai boxing led by Attachai Fairtex and Sukhumvit Road’s lively W District, plus the pleasant caf?s and side-food stalls of On Nut. 
Guests can join locals at an outdoor beef barbecue, discover quaint “European villages”, or take a break from the bustle of the city with a visit to an urban farm. 
Following the launch of the first Destination Guide in Bangkok, the campaign will be rolled out across the X2 and X2 Vibe brands in Koh Samui, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Kanchanaburi, Hua Hin and Buri Ram.
