Walking Around Sukhumvit Soi 3 : Bangkok, Thailand (Jul’19)

13th July 2019 / Visited this place on weekends and have wonderful Chicken Biryani at Al Hussain Restaurant in Sukhumvit Soi 3, which is just 50 meters inside the street. This place is near BTS Nana.

 

Sukhumvit Soi 3 in Bangkok isn’t a flashy tourist hotspot — it’s one of those streets that feels authentically Bangkok: a mix of low-key bars, local eateries, night spots, and colours you don’t see in guidebooks. Just off Sukhumvit Road and close to the heart of the city, Sukhumvit Soi 3 makes a great quick explorative stop if you want to feel real Bangkok street life without the crowds.
