Sukhumvit Road Soi 18 runs through the Klongtoey district of Bangkok, close to the Asok junction on Sukhumvit Road. The area is lively and commercial, with tailors, shops, restaurants, bars and street-food stalls along the side streets, and the surrounding streets stay busy into the evening. It appeals to travellers who want to stay close to the city's business towers and nightlife rather than the old town.

Asok BTS Station, 450 m away, and Sukhumvit MRT Station, 500 m away, are the nearest stations, and the Skytrain and metro connect you to much of central Bangkok. Benjakitti Park, 700 m away, is a green space with a lake, and Benchasiri Park is a leafy public park close by. Jim Thompson House, 4.2 km away, is a traditional teak house museum that was home to the American silk entrepreneur Jim Thompson.

A good day could begin at the Grand Palace, 8 km away, with the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in the same complex and Wat Arun across the river, then continue to the Chatuchak Weekend Market, which is open on weekends and is reached by the BTS and MRT. The market covers a large area, so it rewards time spent wandering between its stalls.
