Sukhumvit Pick-Up/Drop-Off Point

Sukhumvit, an exclusive area for travelers and expats alike…

Sukhumvit Road is not only one of the longest roads in Bangkok, but one of the longest roads in the world! From Phloen Chit Road to the west to Rama 1 Road in the east, Sukhumvit is lined with high-rise apartments, shopping malls and eateries — as well as nightclubs and entertainment plazas. This is one area of Bangkok that never sleeps, and offers something for everyone.

Sukhumvit is popular with tourists as well as those that have made Thailand home from abroad, and caters to international travelers like no other area in the city. Sukhumvit intersects with hundreds of Soi (side streets), each with unique character and attractions.

For example, the area between Soi 1 and Soi 63 is mostly populated by expatriates and affluent locals, and is where you will find the most posh restaurants and boutiques. At Soi 4 and between Soi 21 and 23 you will find the infamous red-light districts of Nana Entertainment Plaza and Soi Cowboy respectively.

But even the pavement along the entire length of Sukhumvit has become an attraction over the years, sporting covered market tables and hawkers selling everything from cheap luggage to knock-off Rolex watches, and just about anything else in-between.

Things To Do in Sukhumvit

“What to do?” on Sukhumvit Road is not really the question as much as “How much time do you have?” or “What is your interest today?” From furious shopping to a relaxing walk in the park, Sukhumvit has it all; here are just a few suggestions:

Visit a museum: The Thailand Creative and Design Center (TCDC) is located in the Emporium at 928 Sukhumvit Rd. Here you will find great exhibits featuring Thai designs in everything from clothing to high-tech. There is even a free resource library for those that need an in-depth study. The Science Center for Education, also at 928 Sukhumvit, offers a planetarium as well as an aquarium and admission is just 20-40 baht.

Walk your pets at Ozono: Whether you have your pet with you or at home, a walk in this park (Soi 39) is a must for all animal lovers, as it’s the only public park in Bangkok where pets are allowed to walk freely, as well as being a rather quirky site to see how lavishly locals dote on their furry loved ones. Here you can find the best selection of pet shops, pet hotels, and even pet restaurants!

Get a checkup or any other medical procedure here: While there are thousands of great restaurants, shops, and bars along Sukhumvit, there is really only one world-class full service medical facility that rivals any in the world: Bunrungrad Hospital at 33 Sukhumvit Soi 33. This is the premiere facility for medical tourism in Thailand, and offers walk-in service for anything from teeth cleaning to major surgery.
