Also known as Soi Nana, Sukhumvit Soi 3 is one of the main thoroughfares of the Nana neighbourhood in lower Sukhumvit.
Hotels, restaurants, bars and street stalls abound here. After dark, you can expect the atmosphere and clientele to take a sleazy turn with “freelancers” (prostitutes) gathering in the area.
Soi 3 is very popular with Arabian tourists, which is reflected in the number of Halal and Middle Eastern restaurants there are on this street. We’ve included just one here as the real stars of the show can be found on neighbouring Soi 3/1.
Here are a few of the soi’s highlights:
