What’s special about Sukhumvit Soi 61? 

Fiorentino Conte, owner of The Melting Clock
“The local people are a restaurant owner’s dream—discrete and low profile, but also cultured. The soi is also full of hidden gem restaurants, offering a classy alternative to the many inflated and crowded areas of Bangkok.”

Kirsty Smith, organizer of PAWS Adoptable Cat Cafe
“Barefood Bangkok make the best plant-based burgers. There’s also the coziest coffee place, Phil Coffee Company, where I love to curl up on a comfy chair with a flat white.”

Taksina Nuangsri, owner of Barefood Bangkok
“People here are connected and get along with each other very well, in spite of having different races and backgrounds. You can also find all the types of food here, from cafes to casual restaurants. It makes you feel at home.”
