One of the liveliest areas in Bangkok, Sukhumvit is famous for its shopping, nightlife, and endless energy. That said, if you want to experience this neighbourhood the way locals do, there’s so much more waiting for you. Here’s a quick peek at some of the other key things you can do.
Drink or Dine Amidst City Views
One of the best ways to feel like an “insider” is to enjoy those stunning skyline views with a drink in hand. Head up to the Greenhouse Terrace Bar, an airy open-air spot at Avani Sukhumvit Bangkok Hotel, perfect for mellow chats above Bangkok’s buzz. Also, at this property is Greenhouse Secret Garden, a private alfresco gazebo ideal for a quiet dinner with friends or family, as the city pulses with life below you.
Catch a Flick at Century The Movie Plaza
Locals love a good movie night too, and Century The Movie Plaza is where they go for some downtime. Watching the latest blockbusters at the cinemas here is one of the best things to do in Sukhumvit for a relaxed family outing, date night, or a full-on solo movie marathon! Of course, when hunger strikes, the building’s restaurants are ready to keep your cravings happily sorted.
Indulge in a Spa Day
After a long day of sightseeing, a spa session like certainly be pure bliss. Staying at a hotel with an on-site spa in Sukhumvit gives you instant access to local-style wellness whenever you need it. Treat yourself to a traditional Thai massage along with rejuvenating body polishes, foot massages, and soothing facials infused with natural Thai ingredients. Your achy muscles and weary feet also deserve some TLC after all!
