Displayed prices are for multiple nights. Check the site for price per night. I see hostels starting at 200b/day and hotels from 500b/day on agoda.

Sukhumvit Rd starts in Bangkok a little before Soi 0 and ends at the cambodian border after passing Chonburi, Sriracha, Pattaya, Rayong and Trat - the longest road in Thailand and there's no place named Sukhumvit along the road AFAIK.

 

Wikipedia reveals the secret, Sukhumvit is named after "the fifth chief of the Department of Highways, Phra Pisan Sukhumvit".

I think you need to be more precise in telling them WHERE along Sukhumvit you want to go to. Sukhumvit runs all the way from BKK to Pattaya... a big stretch of the BTS line in BKK runs along Sukhumvit. Asoke for Soi Cowboy, and Nana for NEP.

I DID ask about the town of Sukhumvit. Just a bit of a joke! As a newbie many years ago I saw Suk road in Bkk and Suk road in Pattaya, and it got me wondering. Am an old hand now, so just joking!

Actually Phahonyothin Road would probably be the longest. It starts in Bangkok and goes North through Chiang Mai and on. Out of town, like Sukhumvit, it's called the Phahonyothin Highway.

 

Lots of varied spellings on this one of course.

The closest for English pronunciation is probably

Pahone Yohtin

Typical of the Thais, have a very long road called Sukhumvit and no place at the end of it :D

 

Maybe the road between Lands End and John O' Groats could be re-named Sukhumvit. :llaugh
