Sukhumvit
What to do in Sukhumvit
Sukhumvit is one of Bangkok's most action-packed and important areas, with excellent shopping, dining and nightlife. The many fashionable restaurants, bars, air-conditioned malls, luxury hotels and hip clubs give the area a distinctly modern, cosmopolitan flavor.
You’ll also find here some of the city's most sinful spots, namely red-light districts Nana Plaza (Soi 4) and Soi Cowboy (off Soi 23). Even so, 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. The Skytrain (BTS) that runs through most of Sukhumvit’s downtown stretch makes exploring its staggering length incredibly easy.
