ko sarn road out of control?

[CLW]

i've lived in bkk for 10 yrs (asoke/sukhumvit area).  i've met alot of tourists over the years, mainly from europe or australia (i'm american).  sometimes i end up as a tour guide for them for a couple of nights as i enjoy meeting new people.  they always want to go to KSR and the lebua state tower rooftop bar.  i always say 'okay, but i think you are making a mistake.  those two places are not real great'.  then the next night, i take them to octave rooftop bar (sukhumvit soi 57) and then to the area behind the esplanade mall, i think they call it the esplanade night market.  lots of food, bars, music, shop stalls, etc...  everytime the people say night 2 was far better than night 1.
 
edit - and these people range in age from 20-50.

Had same experiences.
