I've stayed on Soi 16, but I've never really had a good look. I'm guessing from your comment, it must be a bit more interesting further in.

Soi 26 gets my vote as well 

[DwizzleyMatthews]

A triumphant 1/5 !!

 

[Saltire]

Another triumphant 1/5 and I have no idea which one I guesssed correctly!

 

[Marble-eye]

To say I didn't have a clue about any of them I'll gladly settle for 3/5.

Where's Sukhumvit?

[Faraday]

An outrageous high score of 1.

All complete guesses.

 

[Bluesofa]

2/5 Hopeless.

[Bertik]

3 of 5  with some guesses.

I wouldn't say interesting 

More that it would be awesome Soi to live in

 

When you get more up the Soi it gets real quiet with great apartment complexes with a lot of greenery 

And has 5 or 6 decent places to eat

Not to mention the street food down at the beginning of the Soi

 

Pictures where I stayed and the great Italian restaurant right across the street

 

 

I had a MB and for a few days I never even ventured onto Sukhumvit. 

Just riding up through the back soi to Soi 24/26 and others

Looks good. We stayed @ Hotel Clover Asoke in May this year at the top of the Soi and it was decent for the price. 

Benchakitti Park nearby is nice for a stroll, too.

Just about a 5min walk up, once you get to the Coffee Club and the big hotel, it gets very quiet and leafy

 

Bunch of little cafes, a great little Frenxh Bistro

 

God I really love Bangkok 

[Poolie]

3/5.

[DoUKnowWhoIAm]

5/5! Would've been disastrous otherwise since I've walked up and down those sois 100s of times during my "younger" years in Bkk...

The free beer promotion has finished, but you have the honor of getting the highest score

To be honest, the food is just ok

But the big outside area and having some beers and appetizers is fantastic

And the service is great

But it is pricey...............

You should have booked my place Dopey..........by far, the most comfortable and massive king beds I have ever slept in Thailand

 

I actually just emailed them last week to ask where they bought their mattresses

We want one for Ao's house

Out of curiosity, which hotel was that?

Brand New, it's half hotel, half supposed serviced apartments

Everything is brand new and top quality

 

Now I was there right when they opened and they weren't that busy

The pool is very small with limited beds, so could be an issue when busy

 

I am a big pool guy, head down in morning and afternoon so that is always an interest of mine

 

I am booked there for Xmas, as of now, may change to Sathorn area though

Just out of curiousity, do you know not spend time in BKK? Or not in that area

Not that you have to...........

 

By the way, my wife has been up and down almost every soi in Sukhimvit with me and would go 0 for 100 if there were 100 questions  :)
