Living in On Nut Sukhumvit 81

[kingofallasians]

Does anyone live in the On Nut Sukhumvit 81 area?  Is there a lot of stuff to do in the area?  Especially at night?

[Lorry]

There is the former Onnut food court,  moved to the bridge of Khlong Bangchin. Closes late in the evening, and is

boring anyway. 

KaraOK near Lee Garden.

 

The most popular places at night are the three 7/11.

There used to be a streetwalker opposite KV, not sure whether she still works there. A python lives in the neighborhood,  quite a big one.

There used to be a free swimming pool, closed at night. At night you can swim in Khlong Bangchin and try to catch a lizard. If it's raining,  you can also enjoy the flooding near the soi entrance.

KV has a porch where you can sit and watch the traffic. 

The ice cream parlour (2 tables) has folded, unfortunately. 

You can chat with the motorcycle guys at the soi entrance, 24 hours.

 

You see, it's an exciting area. 

A while ago, someone posted a video from some influencer. This guy found Soi 81 so exciting, he turned around and went to Soi 50 instead.

Whlist Sukhumvit 81 is quite a scruffy and narrow soi - made worse by the fact its also a cut through from Soi 77 to Sukhumvit I think a lot will depend on which end the soi you live.  The Sukhumvit end is quite lively with lots of restaurants and a cinema in the Century Plaza, some lively bars and eating places just a short walk down Soi 50 (Beacon Place), a great Italian restaurant in Soi 79 which also boasts several massage places. There is a good gym in the Phyll  - soi 54 and of course a very big Lotus's adjacent to On Nut BTS station  - which has a good service to downtown - 5 stops to Phrom Phong/ 6 stops to Asoke and 7 stops to Nana. Not all gloom and doom if you choose the right end of the Soi

So, all the attractions of Soi 81 are not located in Soi 81.

The OP asks "Does anyone live in the On Nut Sukhumvit 81 area?  Is there a lot of stuff to do in the area?  Especially at night?" I tried to describe the "stuff" in the "area" not just the Soi.  I hope the OP found if helpful
