Right next door to the Emporium shopping mall and BTS Phrom Phong is Sukhumvit Soi 24. This long, straight road extends from Sukhumvit all the way down to Rama IV and is chocka-block with hotels, apartments and restaurants.
Thanks to the large volume of apartment buildings down here, and the proximity to Bangkok’s central business district, Soi 24 is a very popular road with expats and professional Thais.
Let’s have a look at this soi’s highlights…
Hilton Sukhumvit Bangkok
