In the heart of Thonglor, Sukhumvit Soi 51 is a short soi that eventually bends around to meet its longer neighbour, Soi 49.
Despite its comparatively short length, there are a handful of spots of interest along here, including a number of condo and apartment buildings and the popular Wells International School and Kindergarten.
Let’s have a look at the highlights.
