Running parallel and with several connecting subsois to Soi Thonglor, Sukhumvit Soi 53 is an important street full of plenty of condos, restaurants and other establishments.
While not quite as wild and crazy as its neighbour, there’s still plenty going on here — and it’s even home to (arguably) Bangkok’s best Thai restaurant. Quite the accolade!
Let’s have a look at the highlights.
Bo.Lan

Bo.Lan is a fine dining Thai restaurant on Sukhumvit Soi 53 that is continually lauded as the best Thai restaurant in the capital and whole of Thailand. Run by Duangporn Songvisava and Dylan Jones, Bo.Lan boasts an ever-changing ‘essentially Thai’ menu relying on bio diversified produce and working with local farmers. They’re moving towards a zero carbon footprint by 2018.
They have both a set menu and single plate options for lunch and three different — expensive! — set menus for dinner.

Around halfway down the street is the Ayura — a full service spa that offers massage, facials, body treatments and more. You can find discounts and various promotions online, and make reservations.
