Sukhumvit Soi 11 is one of the most hectic streets in Bangkok.
Once known for being the center of Bangkok's nightlife with iconic clubs like Bed Superclub, Q Bar, or Bash, the street went through a few dark years that saw all these amazing venues close one after another.
But in the last few years, Soi 11 has been rising from the ashes and is once again one of the most exciting and interesting streets in Bangkok with tons of really good restaurants, bars, and clubs.
Let me share with you all my favorite spots in Sukhumvit 11.
Contents
Eat
Soi 11 have all kind of options for food.
You'll find Burger King and Taco Bell, tourist traps, average pub food, but also some of the best dining options in Bangkok.
Once you know where to go.
Oskar Bistro
Oskar is one of the most popular restaurant/bar in Soi 11.
They have delicious French, Thai and European cuisine with everything you can imagine from wood oven pizza to excellent seafood and delicious desserts.
It's also the perfect place to start a night out as the restaurant slowly turns into a club at night with DJs playing on both floors until 2 am.
Soho Pizza
Not only Soho Pizza has some of the best New York Style pizza in Bangkok, they also open until 4 am.
A good place for a quick bite before a bar or to satisfy your craving when you had too many drinks.
By the way, if you're looking for the best pizza in Bangkok, I am too. Let me know what's your favorite pizza place in the comments.
Cantina
Cantina is an excellent Italian restaurant right next to Soho Pizza.
They have some of the best Italian food you will find in Bangkok and a really good wine selection.
V8 Diner
Right outside Insanity nightclub is V8 Diner, a great place to keep the party going once the clubs close with a mix of Thai and western food, but most importantly, delicious burgers and milkshakes.
Street food
You don't have to look far for food in Soi 11. It's literally everywhere in the street.
It's not the cheapest you will find in Bangkok but it's not all tourist traps either.
When the clubs close, just look at where the Thai girls are going to find the best spots.
And if you've got some late-night cravings when you go out of the club, you will find plenty of street food open till sunrise as well as Soho Pizza open til 4 am and V8 Dinner open 24/7.
Drink
Soi 11 is also one of the best areas in Bangkok when it comes to cocktails.
And all these cocktails bars are at walking distance to each other.
Perfect for a spontaneous bar crawl.
Hidden behind a phone booth, Havana Social is by far one of the most popular cocktail bars in Bangkok with its Cuban vibe and Latino music.
They have a decent Bacardi Mojito but try something original if you go there. Give a chance to their delicious cocktail creations or explore their large selection of rum.
And if you like a good smoke, go check their cigar boxes on the first floor.
Los Atico
Tequila lovers will find heaven in Soi 11 at Los Atico.
This secret bar is all about Tequila and Mezcal with a laidback Mexican ambiance and speakeasy atmosphere.
#Findthephotobooth
Another Speakeasy bar that should be on your list.
Walk through a Sports bar and take a picture at the photo booth to open the door of this hidden cocktail bar in Soi 11.
Quality cocktails with both classics and short drinks created by their awarded team.
Konkord
Latest addition to Soi 11 cocktail scene, Konkord focuses as much on the quality of their music as the quality of their drinks.
You will find a great choice of original cocktail crafted to perfection as well as a fine selection of local and international DJs.
Party
Sukhumvit Soi 11 is home to some of the biggest clubs in Bangkok.
The 3 clubs in the street offer each a different type of music but they all have something in common: They stay openβ until late".
In Bangkok terms that means they're open after 2 am.
Levels
Levels is all about commercial music, with live singers, dancers, and DJs.
Great for groups of friends, couples, and singles.
Insanity
Insanity is more about Electro music and blasting EDM.
They also have high-quality entertainment including gorgeous dancers and live aerial silk shows.
And like Levels, it is known as one of the best clubs in Bangkok to find freelancers and single Thai girls.
Sugar
Hip Hop and Rap only at Sugar with both classics and new tunes.
Like the other 2, they have an MC and dancers on stage all night.
Definitely the club to be for all Hip Hop lovers in Bangkok.
Stay
Don't feel like negotiating with the taxis that refuse to put on the meter after all these drinks ?!
You don't have to.
There's a lot of great places to stay in Soi 11.
A lot of hotels in the street even offer often some of the best value for money you will find in Bangkok.
Soi 11 is also really convenient to explore the rest of Bangkok and of course, party til late.
Aloft
Aloft is usually our go-to for special events in Bangkok.
Book the Savvy Suite with its own private terrace and jacuzzi for memorable after parties.
And even the normal rooms are perfectly quiet and comfy to get some rest when you come back from the club at 4 am.
Fraser Suites
A bit more expensive than Aloft but also a really good value for money.
And believe it or not, pretty quiet considering the amount of action you find in the soi.
Holiday Inn Express
Not the quietest hotel as it is at the corner at the end of Soi 11, just meters away from Insanity nightclub.
And yet, it's the best option in the street if you're on a budget with really good rooms and comfy beds for that price.
