Restaurants on Soi 31

Eat on Sukhumvit Soi 31

Soi 31 is, before anything else, the street people cross Bangkok to eat on. Gaggan Anand, named the best restaurant in Asia, sits a few doors from Michelin-starred sushi and a one-star neo-Indian kitchen with its own farm. Behind the famous names is a deep bench: a Roman trattoria, Sri Lankan crab, ramen worth queuing for, and Thai cooking that locals keep to themselves. Here is where to book and what to order.

Stay on the soi

Wake up in the middle of it all

Most of Soi 31 is a taxi ride from where visitors usually sleep. Public House is the one design hotel right on the street, so the coffee, the dinners and the bars on this list are already on your doorstep.
