The ping pong shows and massage parlors a few steps away on either side?
I don't like the LM Surawong because, for me, it is too far from the BTS. JW also is too far for me from the BTS. However, when you ask what is nearby the LM Surawong, for those in town on business it is near main or important offices of Bangkok Bank Head Office, AIA, Prudential, LH Bank, CP Group, SAP, Chulalongkorn University, etc.
