Scenes from Sukhumvit Streets

The Sukhumvit Road is the main artery of this district and the BTS ( Bangkok Train Service) runs along the middle of the street on an elevated track. Many major hotels are located along this street - the Grande Sheraton Sukhumvit, the Westin, and along Soi 11 our hotel, the Aloft and the Grand President Hotel. Both sides of the Sukhumvit Street are filled up with stalls which open from late afternoon with vendors selling everything from graments, electronics to even Viagra and Cialis pills!

This part of the Sukhumvit district also happens to be like the 'Little India' and "Little Arabia" of Bangkok. Many Indian and Middle-Eastern restaurants are found here that the majority of tourists here seemed to be from the Middle East and the Indian sub-continent.

The Sukhumvit Soi 11 is the hub of the entertainment outlets of the district. Many restaurants,pubs, clubs, massage outlets and spas line both sides of the street. Vans like pictured below compete with the bars for clients.
