Sukhumvit Soi 11 is a side street in Bangkok's Watthana district that runs north from Sukhumvit Road to Khlong Saen Saep canal. The Sukhumvit Road end is known for restaurants and bars; the canal end is quiet and residential. Nana is the nearest BTS station.
Our hotel sits where the street meets the canal, so we know both ends well. This is the street as our guests use it.
Where is Sukhumvit Soi 11?
Odd-numbered sois run north from Sukhumvit Road, and Soi 11 is one of them, in the Khlong Toei Nuea area of Watthana. Bumrungrad International Hospital is a few streets west, on Soi 3. The BTS Sukhumvit line runs above Sukhumvit Road, with Nana station the closest stop.
What is the Sukhumvit Road end like?
Busy, social and open late. Bars, restaurants, hotels and street food stalls line the first part of the street, and tuk-tuks and motorbike taxis wait at the entrance. This is the Soi 11 most visitors know, and the base for a night out in Bangkok. Our pre-wedding weekend uses it that way.
What is the canal end like?
About halfway along, the street changes. The traffic thins, the buildings become residential, and there is a mosque and small local restaurants. At the end is Khlong Saen Saep, with a paved path along the water: flat, shaded in places, and long enough for an unbroken morning walk or run.
Khlong Saen Saep is also one of Bangkok's oldest and fastest canal routes across the city. Guests can see it with the hotel's canal tour of Bangkok.
Where to eat on and around Soi 11
Restaurants along the soi range from Thai favourites to Indian kitchens, and the Sukhumvit Soi 3–5 area, a short walk west, is one of Bangkok's most halal-friendly districts. To eat your way through the neighbourhood with a guide, book the guided street food walking tour, and read our street food tour around Sukhumvit first.
At the canal end, E/R/N opens at 6.30am for breakfast and specialty coffee, and stays open until 10pm from Tuesday to Sunday (6pm on Mondays).
Everyday essentials
Tops Market Sukhumvit and Villa Market Sukhumvit cover groceries, and pharmacies are easy to find along Sukhumvit Road. Convenience stores are open late along the soi.
