Stay in Sukhumvit Bangkok
Stay in Sukhumvit Bangkok and enjoy the nightlife, shopping and restaurants.
The Soi Cowboy area is generally considered to be more upmarket than that of the infamous Pat Pong night time entertainment strip in the Silom district.
Where is Sukhumvit?
The Sukhumvit Road goes all the way from Bangkok out past Pattaya, but when people talk about Sukhumvit in relation to Bangkok, then they are referring to the district of Sukhumvit.
Generally speaking the Sukhumvit area goes from the Phrom Phong BTS station to the Nana BTS station and as a tourist it is a great location to stay as the access to the BTS train makes getting to other areas quite straightforward.
In the middle of Sukhumvit is the Asoke intersection and here you can take the MRT, that will take you as far as Chatuchak Market or in the other direction towards Wat Hua Lamphong.
If you stay in Sukhumvit Bangkok, you will find it central to most things you need and that is one reason that it is so popular.
What to do in Sukhumvit?
The Sukhumvit area of Bangkok between Soi's 6 and 12 is primarily an entertainment area, but you will find large shopping complexes from soi 12-24.
So if you like music, bars, restaurants etc then you probably won't be disappointed in the lower soi numbers.
As well as Thai restaurants, there are Indian, Italian and middle Eastern styles of food and of course there is the ever present Thai street food.
Most of the girly bars are situated in the discrete areas of Nana, Soi Cowboy and Soi 33 and so the area is still suitable for families and those with children as there is no need to visit these areas.
There are two large parks nearby.
Benjakati Park is situated just up from the Asok intersection and houses the Queen Sirikit Convention Centre.
Benjasiri Park is located between Soi's 22 and 24 and has an outdoor swimming pool and large lake where you can feed the fish.
You can buy bags of bread at the little shop in the way into the park.
In the evening there are free aerobic classes at the back of the park, feel free to join in.
If you are a photographer then Soi Cowboy has lots of neon lighting, which along with the character and hustle and bustle of a small soi, makes for good night time photographs; especially when it has been raining.
There are heaps of things to keep you occupied if you choose to stay in Sukhumvit Bangkok.
An added attraction to this area, is that it is well served by the BTS Skytrain, so you can easily get to other areas if needed.
Where is Sukhumvit?
In the Sukhumvit area you are closer to the airport, as well as to some of the popular attractions such as the Crocodile Farm, the Ancient City, the Erawan Monument and the nearby beach at Bang Saen.
The Sukhumvit location is generally a 40 minute taxi ride from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, depending upon traffic.
