Sukhumvit Road is one of Bangkok's longest at over 480km spanning from the city center to the southern coast. It is also one of the most diversed and culturally rich areas ideal for visitors. The skytains in the city with the BTS Sukhumvit Line running pretty much along most of Sumkhumvit Road, makes travelling to other parts of the city a whisk. There are several attractions along the BTS Sukhumvit line such as the Thai Royal Air Force Museum, Chatuchak Market (open Fri to Sun), Victory Monument, Phyathai Palace, Asoke Interchange, Erawan Museum just to name a few. This train line also stops at major shopping hubs such as Siam Square & Paragon, Nana night market, Asoke Terminal 21 and Phrom Phong's high end malls and shops. Over a hundred of Sois (side streets) line both sides of Sukhumvit Road and some of the very popular and trendy ones are Soi 11 where a good variety of themed nightclubs, bars, cafes and restaurants are available for your best night out. The Korean Town where restaurants of different Korean cuisines and specialty shops lies between Soi 10 and 12 if you crave for some kim chi in between all the delicious Thai food available every corner and along every Soi. Night life is a must see and experience while in Bangkok. Near the Asoke Interchange Station is the renown night spot of Soi Cowboy. Catering to tourists and expats, this is one street of different themed go-go bars and pubs and adult shows. It is one of three major night spots in Bangkok, the other being Patpong in the Silom area and Soi Nana Tai in Chinatown. Walking along Sukhumvit in the evening is an enjoyable experience as street vendors are out in full force once office hours are over.
