Benjasiri Park – as well as a range of outdoor sports facilities this public park is also home to some fine examples of Thai sculpture
Soi Cowboy – this is the red-light district of Sukhumvit and it’s close to the Asok BTS Skytrain Station. There are lots of flashing neon lights and a colourful streetscape, but it has a laidback, carnival feel about it.
Terminal 21 Bangkok – this is the place to shop until you drop. This amazing shopping mall is spread out over 9 floors, each of which is inspired by a different location. Housed inside this world-famous shopping mall are 600 shops, a cinema and a food fare.
