Soi Langsuan has been described as ‘ Bangkok 's best kept secret'. This elegant street runs between the main Central Department store on Ploenchit Road to Sarasin Road bordering Lumpini Park. The Chit Lom Sky Train station is also here at the Ploenchit Road end. It is a wide street in all ways. Apart from being a wide road, the buildings are all set well back too, so unlike many central Bangkok streets this soi is not a tunnel between soaring buildings and there is green and space on both sides.

The businesses in Soi Langsuan also befit the ‘elegant' tag. There are some of Bangkok 's most popular restaurants here as well as several of the best serviced apartment buildings in town. And there are boutiques, cafés and a few spas. This is above all a genteel street located in the middle of modern Bangkok between the financial districts of Silom and Sathorn, and the tourist and dormitory areas of Sukhumvit.

The gastronomic options of Langsuan are almost endless, although strangely in Bangkok , where there is an English style pub around almost every corner and thus English style food, the only serious cooking style missing is English food. On the other hand there are over 40 restaurants on the street and down it's sois, and in a city where the most popular foreign cuisine is Italian, one third of the restaurants in this area specialize in that cooking genre.

The central location of Soi Langsuan makes it an ideal location for those living and working in the city, particularly executives who need to pop in to the office at the weekend! Thus there are no less than 16 serviced apartment blocks and hotels here.

As a one way street there is seldom a serious traffic jam in Soi Langsuan. Sometimes there is a minor build up where the soi ends at Sarasin, but otherwise the street is clear of jammed vehicles spewing out pollution, all helping the environment of Soi Langsuan. And for those residents who like a walk on the green side, Lumpini Park provides one of the few green areas in central Bangkok and is ideal for a stroll, or even a run if you are thus inclined.

The role of this site is to help the overall business of this special street to develop, as well as making more people aware of Bangkok best kept secret.
