People

Thammanam being connected to the main points of the city, has always enjoyed a position as a suitable residential area. The convenience of reaching the railway station, a major highway network running in parallel, and the presence of artillery roads, has in recent times led to the development of housing colonies, flats, apartments, hotels and restaurants that have benefitted from the patronage of the local population. The population of Thammanam has in recent years exploded, with a majority of the newcomers comprising migrants from different parts of the State, as well as from other parts of the country. Small-time hotels like Yuva and Binnamma's Kitchen have grown in fame for their unique style of cooking traditional dishes, and are often seen as part of the evolving food cooking trends in the city.

Major banks like State Bank of India, Union Bank of India and South Indian Bank have also opened their branches in the last couple of years. There is also a reading club and the famous DD Retreat Club a few metres from the main junction.

The region is known for its peaceful harmony and has a Church, a Temple and a Mosque along a stretch of just half a kilometre; characteristic of the religious tolerance of Kerala societies.
