When visitors to Bangkok want to feel in the center of the action—perhaps as a way to reenter urban life after a beach vacation in Phuket or chilling out in the jungle of the Golden Triangle—Sukhumvit is often the neighborhood they head to. It’s a convenient, central area for exploring the rest of the city, and there’s a sense of vibrancy here, with restaurants, cafes, and people-watching as the main draws, along with the area’s sparkling new shops and shopping centers (a common destination for locals, who escape to the cool air-conditioned malls in Bangkok’s sweltering heat and humidity).
Add to the mix a population of expats from around the world that make Sukhumvit their homebase, and you get one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic, international and welcoming neighborhoods. Here, a guide to what to see and where to go in a day or two.
