Not sure why someone would come here without staying in a hotel or something, we stayed on Sukhumvit Rd and I can't say I would recommend it as a place to visit. It's dirty and it's busy, there are many shops here but there are shops everywhere.... More

Sukhumvit Road is without a doubt the center of most entertainment of all kinds. There are lots of bars, restaurants, many large hotels, and countless shopping centers in which to visit while along this road. It's a great place for shopping and now includes the most recent opening of Terminal 21 located right at the interchange of the Skytrain and... More

Sukhumvit is more than an area in Bangkok, but a very long, busy street with the SkyTrain overhead. This area has a large number of hotels, regional restaurants and neighborhoods that cater to different types of tourist. Despite the collection of bars (Cowboys Soi- see reviews), high-rise malls, and sidewalk stalls that sell a variety of questionable goods ranging from... More

If you're looking for nightlife, Sukhumvit is the place to go. There are hundreds of bars, cafes, restaurants and nightclubs catering to every taste. But make sure your wallet is secure because big crowds attract pickpockets.. More

Sukhumvit is a long road that travels from Bangkok, all the way to Pattaya, and even to the Trat, on the way to Cambodia. It is most famous for the area in downtown Bangkok. Soi 33 area will have a Japanese flavor, while soi 3 will have an Arab and African appeal, and in between there is even a Korean... More
