Sukhumvit Bangkok
Everything you Need to Know about Sukhumvit
The longest road in Thailand, both it and its many adjoining 'sois' (sub-streets) are poor on traditional tourist attractions but rich in of-the-minute shopping, eating and nightlife. While there are touches of 'Thai-ness' on every corner, the many fashionable restaurants, bars, air-conditioned malls, luxury hotels and hip clubs give the area a distinctly modern, cosmopolitan, aspirational flavour.
Some of the city's most sinful spots, red-light districts Nana Plaza (Soi 4) and Soi Cowboy (off Soi 23) are also found here. And little, stress-busting pockets of calm can be found in the sweet cafes, atmospheric restaurants and lush day spas that hide down many of its sois. Making exploring its daunting options and overcoming its staggering length incredibly easy is the elevated Skytrain (BTS) that stretches along most of its downtown stretch.
Everything from affordable hi-rise hotels to sleek boutiques and luxury serviced apartments can be found on Sukhumvit. Traffic can be a problem, but those staying here are usually within walking distance of a BTS Skytrain station. Read More...
