Thong Lor is a section of Bangkok in the northern Watthana district. Sometimes English-speakers also refer to this area as Thong Lo or
Thonglor. More and more tourists are flocking to this region to take advantage of its high-quality cuisine and its hot nightlife. Some travel experts have dubbed Thong Lor the "hippest district" in all of Asia. That's a pretty big claim, but it's true that Thong Lor has been successful at attracting bohemians and artists from all around Thailand in recent years.
If you are visiting Bangkok, this trendy district is definitely worth a visit. If you are into great food, people watching, art, or just partying hard, Thong Lor has something to offer you.
In term of photography, the most impressive views are from up there, either from rooftop bars, roofs of buildings or from a drone.
I suggest Octave Rooftop Lounge & Bar at the 45th floor of Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit, Cielo Sky Bar & Restaurant at the 46th Floor of Sky Walk Condominium, and Desi Beats at the 8th floor of Opus building, for views with a drink.
And for the roof of buildings, if you can get invited, I suggest Noble Remix, The Bangkok Thonglor, Park Origin or C Ekkamai. They are always a safe place to launch your drone above you following safety rules.
