Things to See and Do in Sukhumvit – refined culture, lifestyle and taste

As one of the main arteries in Thailand, Sukhumvit Road runs from Bangkok to Trat stretching 400km in length. Sukhumvit is a hub of cosmopolitan culture, portraying the contemporary Thai lifestyle whilst highlighting few traditional attractions and more urban attractions.

The skyline of Sukhumvit and its adjacent Sois (streets) are silhouetted by soaring luxury hotels, condominiums and upmarket shopping malls.

To capture the essence of Thai traditional aesthetics, visit Thailand Creative and Design Center (TCDC). The center, being the first Asian learning center for creative designs, was established with the aim of supporting young Thai designers.

Thailand Creative and Design Center houses an extensive library made up of design books and publications, an assortment of videos, movies in addition to multimedia resources. The center sits on the 6th floor of The Emporium, a prominent trendsetter in Bangkok.

Sited at Phrom Phong, The Emporium is a classy mall famous for its haute couture and haute cuisine. It also features a variety of items ranging from sports goods to dazzling jewelry, in addition to a world class cinema, upmarket restaurants and a play area for kids.

Nestled close to Sukhumvit, on the Soi Asoke (Soi 21) you can reach the Siam Society, where numerous exhibitions and workshops based on Thai culture are held. In the same premises you can discover an impressive Lanna style home made in teak, renowned as Kamthieng House sited amidst a charming lush garden. Lanna (a land of million rice fields) was a 13th century kingdom thriving in the northern part of Thailand. Currently the Kamthieng House is a museum enlightening the public about the elegant Lanna culture.

Close to the Emporium lies the Benjasiri Park also known as the Queen’s Park, constructed in 1992 to commemorate the Queen’s 60th birthday. Benjasiri Park makes an excellent retreat for tourists of all ages, providing picturesque backdrops dotted with stunning Thai sculptures, making it an ideal location for reclining and enjoying a serene ambience, right at the center of bustling Bangkok.

Search for a convenient location to enjoy the best of the city. Bangkok serviced apartments from a Bangkok Sukhumvit hotel offers you modern conveniences and an array of delicacies ranging from local to international cuisine. You can explore the Sukhumvit artery and its many attractions including several shopping hotspots during your stay in Bangkok, Thailand.
