Sukhumvit Soi 11 In Bangkok

- I took an early morning walk down Sukhumvit Soi 11 in Bangkok, Thailand. This busy street has it all. Plenty of places to eat and party. Nice condos and beautiful hotels.
Here's a few links for my favorite credit cards. I try to check the links often, but let me know if there is a problem. If they change the offer on the card, I may need to update the link. Full disclosure, I get a few airline miles for referring a new customer. You should get the same public offer at no additional cost. Thank you very much.

Great walking tour!
Glad you enjoyed it Scott
Das Zanzibar ist mein absolutes Lieblingsrestaurant in der Soi 11 - kompetente und nette Bedienung, gutes Essen und eine angenehme Athmosphäre. Sehr zu empfehlen...
The Zanzibar is a great spot. Thank you for watching
Wow, wasn’t expecting to see a Bar Louie over there. We used to have a bunch of them in Chicago but most of them closed. Good to see they’re still hanging on. aloft is actually a pretty reasonably priced hotel chain. Have not had the chance to stop by that one. Thanks for another great video Joe.
I didn't know that was the same place. I remember those places around Chicago.
@@EagerExpat yeah, it’s funny when that happens. Appreciate what you do brother. Keep up the good work.
Perfect timing! Checking in at Soi 15 tomorrow, Samala hotel. And again you bring back memories. I visited the Havanna social back in 2018, I think? I do not remember an entrance fee or a dress code but we got ourselves a hat at the entrance to wear. Pretty cool place, a Speakeasy or secret bar if you will. You had to enter the correct code on the telephone outside in the alley to get in, even if that was mostly for show. Thanks for another great video and let me know if you are up for a beer or two!
It's a fun street. I'm meeting another guy at O'Shea's at 5:00pm on Wed the 7th. Then I get on the road for awhile. Krabi, Thu morning. Come on down and say hi Wed.
@@EagerExpat Nice! O´Shea´s is on Soi 33/1, right? I will try to make it there!
@@silenziostampa4423 That's the place. Try and say hello. That's my only free day this week. I fly out the next day. Scuba time.
Sadly I won't be able to make it to O´Sheas :( We are still stuck at MBK and won't be out of here until I have lost all my sanity. I hope you will have a good time and I wish you a good trip to Krabi tomorrow!
@@silenziostampa4423 No problem man. Have a great stay
In the 90's I spent muck time in soi 11. I always stayed at the Hotel Federal, I guess it is gone now. Used to be many americans at the Federal. Nice video, the soi has changed, Cheap Charlies is gone as well, moved further up Sukumwit somewhere.
Keep up the good work
and I wrote the comment before you talked about Cheap Charlies :) Thanx for the info
Yes, Charlie's is up on Soi 50 now. Still good times
@@torvaldelletveito9181 No problem. Thanks for watching
4:34 Vegan Table. So good food. To bad they closed.
Yes, my friend loved that place.
I’m planning on going to Above Eleven on my next BKK trip. I hope they allow shorts and t shirt
They didn't in the past. No shorts, flip flops, etc.. Look it up on Google. But, plenty of places have a loose dress code. Many of the places on Soi 11 are dress to impress. Havana is another.
Did you know that on the 5th Floor, Una Una Building, Soi 11, is a pioneering culinary destination, UFO Rooftop Bar & Dining? I believe it was Asia’s first vegan and vegetarian rooftop venue offering a unique combination of natural wines and creative plant-based cuisine.
Good to know. But, I'm not much of a vegetarian guy. Thailand has vegetarian celebrations. I've seen a few.
Aloft is a Marriott branded property. I thought about staying there once for the location but ended up opting for the Athenee. One thing about Bangkok that I’ve concluded is its really not necessary to pay 5* American branded pricing when there are so many local options for half the cost and just as nice. I always wanted to rent on the river next to Icom but the more I watch you I think somewhere between soi 20-40 might just be better.
Yes, if paying cash local is the way to go. I go to Krabi soon. I'm staying at a beautiful place that's $38 US with breakfast. Normal price is $160, but low season, Agoda coupon, etc.. I talk often about western hotels, because I've had literally millions of hotel and airline miles over the years.
The Hyatt Place on Soi 22 used to be a category one property. That's when it was 1 year old with a free amazing breakfast. You could get one credit card and stay there 10 days. Or extend the stay and spend $50 a night. It was a no-brainer. Today the Holiday Inn Express is almost a give-away. I stay for about $35. After a 4 day stay, I've earned double points and have a free night. Those miles add up fast. When I book an expensive property in say Hong Kong, every fifth night is free.
So where I agree, local is usually best, I'm always going to be a miles guy. In a place like Krabi, the western options are $150. I'll save my points for Tokyo or New York City. Hotel.com has a decent get the 10th night free. But, Agoda seems to beat the price every time. The Agoda cash is weak, but I usually take the 5% or 8% coupon instead.
If you want to stay by the river, go give that a try. Thonburi is where many expats settle down in Bangkok. I'm still out running around 4 or 5 nights a week. This area of Sukhumvit has more to offer a nite-owl.
@@EagerExpat I never used agoda but everyone talks about it. I’m Marriott platinum but I may not hit 50 nights this year. I don’t feel staying loyal to one brand is really worth it anymore. But like you said when it come time for a stay in Tokyo or HKG they sure nice to have.
@@EagerExpat That Aria you showed is a hell of a deal for $60. Says newly built
Loved the video, I was at those pop-up beer bars two years ago during my last trip to Bangkok sad to see them go.
Ya they'll pop up on some other Soi. BKK is always changing. It's great to come around a corner and see a few new places.
Great soi and had good times partying and staying in the mercure previously president palace hotel, last time in bkk stayed at eleven hotel which was good and affordable and very good breakfast.
It's a fun area. Thanks for watching
สวัสดีค่ะ 🙏💖🌸🎉
Hello. Thank you for watching
You missed the Ramada Inn. Good value at about 60 usd night
Shoot, I sure did. It's tucked away on that part of 11/1. It's much more affordable than the Blu on Sukhumvit
Joe, back in the late 90's, the Grand President Hotel (4 star) was pay for 2 nights and get a 3rd night free. A bar girl from soi 7 Beer Garten told me about it. Best bang for the buck....no pun intended. Entertaining video as usual, Cheers!!!!!!
That sounds like a good deal. Thanks for watching
I might try that Breakfast Story place
Sounds good
Aloft Hotels is Marriott International's brand . Usually about 16K points per night.Pretty good use of Marriott points.
I didn't know that. I was always a Hyatt points guy. Lately it's all IHG with all the Holiday Inn Express stays
@@EagerExpat I am addicted to Credit cards points/rewards for the past 8 years too. I will be going to Thailand in few weeks in Business Class - as always.
@@Marek_Cali Points are nice. I treated myself and flew Japan First when I retired. Not sure if you caught the video.

@@EagerExpat Yup. I flew first class few times. ( last December from London to SFO on BA) . 7 years ago i flew from NYC to Tokyo in 1st class on Japan Airlines. I was the only one in 1st class so i has my own bathroom🙂
@@Marek_Cali That first is nice, but the lie-flat business is still pretty great. I'm flying with the girlfriend on Zip Air to Tokyo. I think it's Japan Airlines discount airline. They had a lie flat seat with no frills. It was $650 more a ticket. I think I paid $340 rt each. We'll suck it up for 6 hours. I'll save the points for 15 hour flights.
Nice vlog❤

Miss this place already 1 week later 😊.Climax (part of the Hilary chain)is a nightclub under the Ambassador Hotel. It was shut down by the police for 5 years and reopened a few months ago. Used to be a fun place with live band etc, like the Hillary Bars have.
Hey Andy. Yes, Soi 11 is a wild street. Lots of fun. Check out Golden Giraffe near Havana. It used to be Apoteka. Good music.
I know that Soi 11 is far from Vegas but why does it get so much hype? Seems to be like a street with a bunch of Hillary’s, Indian restaurants and a few night clubs and rooftop bars. What are other reasons for visiting this Soi? Sidewalk looks super narrow so can’t imagine going down there when its packed with people
There are way more than a few. I'd guess closer to 50 bars and nightclubs. Maybe 10 roof bars. It gets so much hype because it's the spot where many locals like to party. There must be a 100 places to eat. As far as busy sidewalks, every sidewalk in Bangkok is busy. There are 16 million people in the area. I was there on New Years Eve a few years back. There must have been 100,000 people all down the street. It was great. Then again, some people like an empty street. Good luck with that in BKK.
Where is the Ancient City?
Search my channel. I've did a few videos on the place.
I hate hip-hop, prefer old school rock and pop songs 60-s to 80’s. Hip hop has too much of an angry vibe.
I'm not a hip hop guy myself, but many people hate the tunes I like. It's all good. Something for everyone
