Things to Do in Sukhumvit

Sukhumvit Road doesn’t offer many traditional tourist attractions with just a few temples and no palaces to explore, but you'll find that its magnetism is its modern face. Think towering luxury hotels, colossal condominiums, air-conditioned shopping malls and entertainment complexes, fine restaurants, trendy shops and world-class nightlife. Then there are the crowds – an attraction in themselves.

Where else can you see veiled Muslim women brushing past provocatively dressed ladyboys; middle-aged European males nonchalantly walking hand-in-hand with exotic Thai women? Each soi, or lane, has its own personality and target audience and endless hours can be spent exploring them. To see multi-culturalism at work, visit Soi 3 (Soi Nana), a Middle Eastern enclave known as 'Little Arabia'.
