Sukhumvit or Chinatown for a first-time stay?
Traveler · 2h
Husband and I have 5 nights before heading south. Torn between Asok BTS vs Yaowarat for food. Mid-30s, not party people.

Sukhumvit Asok or Phrom Phong first visit. BTS/MRT everywhere, Grab to Chinatown dinner — Yaowarat best after 6pm anyway. Chinatown noisy, harder transit, fewer mid-range hotels for sleeping.

Silom/Sathorn third option — Sala Daeng BTS, Lumphini walks, boat to Old Town. Still Grab Yaowarat at night.

Stayed Asok — zero regrets. Chinatown overwhelming as home base, perfect night trip.
