TRAVEL | Bangkok - Sukhumvit

Since we'll be doing a side trip to Bangkok on our Phnom Penh trip, I decided to dedicate a few posts to attractions in Bangkok, starting with the buzzing Sukhumvit.

Sukhumvit is Bangkok's main shopping strip and, in many ways the center of modern Bangkok. Sukhumvit Road is best described as Bangkok’s leading commercial district. It is one of the four major highways of Thailand and indeed one of the longest roads in the world, stretching all the way to the Cambodian border in the east. Although this area is poor on traditional tourist attractions, the area is rich in of-the-minute shopping, eating and nightlife.
