Sukhumvit in many ways epitomizes modern Bangkok. Characterised by high rise apartments, air-conditioned shopping centres, stylish restaurants and a wide selection of entertainment venues. Linked to the main tourist and commercial areas by the new Skytrain (overhead rail system) the area is provides a good base for exploring the sights and sounds of Bangkok. Accommodation is also very good. Many of the hotels are new and offer excellent facilities, swimming pools and great views over the city.
