Sukhumvit Area
For many travellers, the arterial Sukhumvit road is synonymous with
the vibrant nightlife of Bangkok. A number of odd and even numbered
Soi’s (streets) criss-cross along Sukhumvit, pregnant with glitzy malls,
restaurants and shops. The area comes alive in the evenings with
temporary stalls full of clothes, jewellery and bric-a-bracs emerging on
the sidewalks. The indispensable Sky Train rumbles above Sukhumvit
road, which extends into Pleonchit and Siam Square and will glide you
over the lively shopping hubs of the city.
Indian
a fine dining experience with
cuisine focused on Mughlai food
from North India. Dinner with live
ghazals and Bollywood music
performances are especially
popular.
Akbar
The 36 years old Akbar
Restaurant offers Indian,
Pakistani and Arabic cuisines
with plenty of options for
vegetarians. The location, just
off the Nana BTS Station, is an
added plus if you are looking for
a pit stop between shopping.

Do you know that flowers can be eaten?
Certain kind of flowers can be turned to a delicious dish
especially for vegetarians such as rose, plumeria, Ixora, blue/
butterfly pea, and lotus with shrimp paste or sweet sauce. Some
also use these in salads or put flowers like agasta and cowslip
creeper in soup. These flowers actually have healing power,
such as, rose is good for your heart, plumeria is used to treat
fever, and Ixora helps increase appetite and improve digestion.
