Sukhumvit Road Area 

Lined with a mix of hotels (Rembrandt Hotel, President Solitaire Executive Serviced Apartments, Amari Boulevard Hotel ...), old local stores, restaurants serving food from all over the globe, furniture and antique shops, it reflects the pace of change in the city. The new BTS (Skytrain) runs right along Sukhumivit providing easy access along its length and to other parts of the city.

The many small sois of Sukhumvit contain some of Bangkok's most famous nightlife and party options. Nana Plaza (Soi 5 ) the raunchy Soi Cowboy (off Asok) and the super cool Soi Thonglor (Soi 55).

Shopping

Modern shopping centres like the Emporium, (Soi 24) offer food courts, cafes and beauty salons as well as upmarket shopping in air-conditioned comfort. If you prefer markets, street vendors selling mostly souvenirs operate along the central part of Sukhumvit around the main hotels during the evening. Sukhumvit also provides excellent shopping options for antiques, furniture and furnishings (along the main road)
