Sukhumvit chaiyapruek was a foot deep in water this morning

[KannikaP]

Apostrophe needed in What's, and capital S for Sukhumvit. 

Yep, the Spelling & Grammar Police are after you.

All relative to last time you've visited. 

 

Unfortunately, I'm there (Ibis Soi 4) a few times a year.  Short stroll, thankfully, to BTS that actually avoids most of it.

Only the one's passing through, non working gals.  As stated, miss most of it/bars.  The few cows I see are outside the 1 massage shop, on the short part before turning off Soi 4.  All the bars are further up the road.

 

Along with not going out at night time.

 

Almost like I'm not even at 'Nana Soi 4', thankfully.

Not my thing, even people watching, maybe 18 yrs ago, or not.  Though did enjoy happy hour a few times there.  Never did the P4P thingy.  As rarely travel without much better companionship.

 

Only on Soi 4 for 130 meters, thankfully:

"What's Sukhumvit like these days?"

 

Yep, still spelled the same.

 

And still two lanes coming...and two lanes going (and temporally in some cases even three)... 

 

Are you Romanian...?

Not really. Mostly absolute skanks around that area

[FruitPudding]

Nana is an absolute cesspit now; the place is infested with Arabs and Africans.

 

Most bars can't pour a decent pint and the staff are not worth a tip.

 

Plenty of beggars hassling you nonstop: the Indian fake Rolex characters, the bargirls wanting ladydrinks, and a variety of other salespeople and homeless.

[FruitPudding]

Asoke doesn't have much going for it anymore, unless you like Terminal 21 or overpriced booze and overpriced birds on Cowboy.

On the odd side 1 to Asoke it is mostly hookers, Ladyboys, black man and people who look dirty and probably stink. And those seem like the good people.  It is the lowest and dirtiest I can remember stay away.

Asoke to Thong Lor mostly Korea, Japan, Thai, and Chinese lots of decent Restaurants in and around the area.

[OneMoreFarang]

This week is similar to last week.

Today there was more traffic than yesterday. 

[FruitPudding]

Phrom Phong is still okay in comparison to Nana and Asoke, I suppose. 

 

But it still aint what it used to be.

[Sandboxer]

Demographically, it feels like Gaza City.

You'd think they'd go to Malaysia or Indonesia, or at least a modest and civilized part of Thailand. 

 

What on Earth could attract so many Arabs to NANA?!

Agreed... But you only have to worry about ones who are pushing suitcases that have dismembered body parts inside!  ????

Casual, arrogant racism as per usual. And no, I have no religious or political affiliations...both sides at are fault for what's going on in the Middle East rn.

Lower sukhimvit is back to normal. All the vendors were booted out when the army took charge, but they're back selling knock-offs, sex toys, and a lot of overpriced weed. 

 

It's mainly an Arab enclave now, though, at least up to around soi 11. Even Foodland offers a greeting in Arabic when you enter. Most of the old shops selling luggage and cheap bags are gone, replaced by crummy open-air seafood places, pizza shops, and arab restaurants.

 

There are literally dozens of weed shops, though most don't seem to have many customers, which, given the prices, is no surprise.  On the plus side, Arabs don't drink alcohol for the most part. so in the bars on soi 7 I'm sure you'll receive a lot of attention.
