SUKHUMVIT is Bangkok's main thoroughfare, stretching from the end of Ploenchit Road near Soi Nana all the way to the east. It doesn't have much in historical attractions but it is the best place to be if you are a night-owl. It is along Sukhumvit Road that most of Bangkok's popular red light districts are located - Nana Entertainment Plaza on Soi Nana (Sukhumvit 3), Soi Cowboy (Sukhumvit 23), the so-called Japanese Patpong near Sukhumvit 39, the so-called "Painters" bar row on Sukhumvit 33, the Washington Square group of watering holes, etc.

The long stretch is also a gourmet's paradise, Along the road are hundreds of Thai, Chinese and Western restaurants to choose from, especially in areas around major hotels. Most are of average quality and slightly above-average prices, white some are outstanding is both quality and price.
