Dining - Sukhumvit Road Area

A whole range of restaurants are located along and behind Sukhumvit and it's sub-Soi's. This is where you'll find something to suit every budget and taste. The beauty of eating out in Sukhumvit is that there is always something to choose from within 2 feet of any hotel locale - if you don't want to venture far away or feel like a walk.

Hotel Dining
Within Sukhumvit's main hotels themselves there is a great selection of upmarket dining options. At The Rembrandt Hotel , try the best Mexican Restaurant in town - Senor Pico's - extensive menu, live music, dancing and very lively atmosphere. Bookings recommended. A very decent Indian restaurant - Rang Mahal - is also found there. The JW Marriott

A huge selection of the freshest seafood and accompaniments which you select and hand to the chef to cook in your favourite style - popular with tourists and locals alike.

Pratunam/Phetchaburi Road Area
This area has fewer upmarket restaurants than street stalls and roadside cafes selling all manner of Thai food specialties. A number of seafood bbq stalls have set up along Petchburi Road parallel to the canal which is always crowded with commuters and late night Thai shoppers.
