Soi To Sak runs through the Thong Lor part of Sukhumvit, one of the busy districts of central Bangkok. The area is a mix of apartment blocks, small shops and street-level food stalls, and it puts you in the busy central part of the city rather than the old town.

The Skytrain is the simplest way to get around from here. Phrom Phong BTS Station is 1.2 km away and Thong Lo BTS Station is 1.4 km, both on the Sukhumvit line. Siam Paragon, a large shopping centre on Rama I Road, is 4.9 km away, and Jim Thompson House, a museum set in traditional Thai teak houses, lies in the same central part of the city. Chatuchak Weekend Market, a large market for food, clothes and crafts, is a longer trip across town.

A full day could begin with the shops at Siam Paragon and a visit to Jim Thompson House. The Grand Palace, 9.6 km away, and Wat Pho, with its giant reclining Buddha, 9.4 km away, make a full day of temples in the old city, and pairing them with the shops at Siam Paragon covers both the old city and the modern side of Bangkok in one trip.
