TOUR IN BANGKOK IN THE SUKHUMVIT AREA
Sukhumvit is the longest road in Thailand, stretching from Ploenchit road in the west end of Bangkok to Rama I road, and winds all the way to the Cambodian border in the far east. This boundless highway branches off into endless side roads, filled with luxury shops, hotels and restaurants or to the red light districts of go-go bars and strip clubs. If you enjoy indulging in luxury why not bask in the ambiance of high calibre hotels, restaurants, clubs and mega-malls. Or take an adventure into the infamous soi's ( sub roads), which contain extravagant strip clubs and go-go bars. Standing out with their imposing lights in the night time, they can be found at soi 4 nana tai and soi cowboy ( between soi 21 and 23). While in the other side roads of Sukhumvit you can discover night markets that sell an abundance of anything and everything.
By morning - there are an array of activities to done, such as sightseeing at the unique Jim Thompson house, the spectacular Erawan and Ganesha shrines. The Jim Thompson house and Suan Pakkard palace are some of the most visited attractions in Bangkok and Thailand.
