Wellness on Soi 31

Unwind on Sukhumvit Soi 31

After a day in Bangkok’s heat the soi has the right answer. The flagship Oasis Spa sits in a villa wrapped in lotus ponds, Ruen-Nuad keeps the old massage-house tradition alive, and upstairs in the soi’s towers you will find dedicated Ashtanga and Dharma yoga rooms, reformer Pilates and a pioneering personal-training gym.

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.
