It is conveniently accompanied through all the prominent, interesting, and densely-populated spots by the BTS Sukhumvit Line, with stops in each one which makes it a very easy area to cover transport-wise.<\/p>\n<p>In general terms, this main stretch of the Sukhumvit Road running through the city lies somewhere between Nana (roughly Sukhumvit Sois 2-11) and Ekkamai (Sukhumvit Soi 63). So with more than 60 sois running off from both sides of the road there is quite a bit to cover there.<\/p>\n<p>Just a short walk away from the Phrom Phong BTS stop you can find Sukhumvit Soi 26.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_74942\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pp2-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74942\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74942\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pp2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pp2-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pp2-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-74942\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image from creativecommons.org<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This is a scenic, tree-lined road with something of a residential feel to it. It is also known as Soi Ari, as it runs all the way from Sukhumvit to Rama 4 Road. This makes it a convenient connecting road from the Sukhumvit to a couple of other main areas of the city \u2013 the Lumpini-Wireless and&nbsp;Silom-Sathorn business districts.<\/p>\n<p>If you take a quick peek down Soi 26 from Sukhumvit you just think that it\u2019s another section with a few seedy-looking bars, massage parlours and karaoke joints. And this is true to some extent, and may have some connection to the prominent Japanese expat community that largely populates this area.<\/p>\n<p>But if you look a bit more closely there are actually quite a few other layers to the soi well worth exploring. It can actually turn out to be quite a good family area once you get further into the soi and start to uncover a few hidden gems in the form of mini-malls, supermarkets, restaurants, shops and cafes, a kids\u2019 indoor fun park, and even a well-stocked rabbit run.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_74944\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/javenue3-ccs.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74944\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74944\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/javenue3-ccs.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/javenue3-ccs.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/javenue3-ccs-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-74944\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image from creativecommons.org<\/p><\/div>\n<p>And it is precisely this convenience that makes the road a popular living choice for both young families and working professionals who are affluent enough to consider it.<\/p>\n<p>Soi 26 is certainly one of those slightly rare areas of the Sukhumvit Road able to provide a pleasant living experience to a wide range of people. The road is dotted with a great range of leisure and lifestyle venues that couldn\u2019t be further away from somewhere like Nana.<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s look at the 5 main reasons to love Sukhumvit Road 26 (Sukhumvit Soi 26) in Bangkok.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h4><strong>Food on Sukhumvit 26<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This encompasses trendy coffee shops like <strong>Casa Lapin<\/strong>, as well as some well-established restaurants such as <strong>Indus. <\/strong>There are also a fair few independent shops, and one of the key features of the area is definitely the <strong>K Village<\/strong> Community Mall.<\/p>\n<p>The mall is on the Rama 4 side of Sukhumvit 26, and is one of the best examples of Bangkok\u2019s many open-air, \u2018community\u2019 malls.

This is &nbsp;Bangkok\u2019s largest indoor play area, and is largely for children under 13. This place can come as a real blessing to families with young kids in a place like Bangkok which is, in many ways, not always the most family-friendly of places.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a great place to spend at least half a day and let the young ones blow off a little steam on the climbing frames, slides, and other activities that are all safe and well-supervised.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<h4><strong>Hotels on Sukhumvit 26<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>There is a reasonable selection of accommodation on this street, from smaller hotels to big 5-star names like the&nbsp;Double Tree Hilton&nbsp;and&nbsp;4-star The Four Wings.<\/p>\n<p>At the top end of the soi you can find both the&nbsp;St James\u2019&nbsp;and&nbsp;the Arize 4-star hotels, and there is even a decent hostel next to Casa Lapin.

There is lots of other stuff that make this particular Sukhumvit Soi a decent place to stay or live though.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of fitness options, for instance. The fairly new chain of 24-hour gyms that have popped up in Bangkok over the last few years \u2013 Fitness 7 \u2013 opened a branch on Soi 26 not too long ago.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a tennis academy on the soi by way of APF Tennis Academy which was established in 2005 and features 2 indoor courts.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also find a find a few Yoga options down her if yo are seeking a little Prana Flow, as well as something that is completely unexpected to many people by way of <a href=\"http:\/\/flowhousethailand.com\/\">Flowhouse<\/a> Bangkok \u2013 the place where you can <strong>surf<\/strong>&nbsp;an artificial wave.
