East of the dense sois, Sukhumvit becomes a run of neighbourhood BTS stops. Soi 39 is the north-side soi at Phrom Phong. Thong Lo, Soi 38, is the next station. Ekkamai is Soi 63, one stop after that. People say "Thong Lo" for all three. The listings do not.
If the hotel is in Thong Lo and the pin is in Ekkamai, that is a ride, not a stroll down one soi. Check the station name on the pin before you call it walking distance.
Soi 39
This is still the Phrom Phong end, not Thong Lo proper. Top Joy Paradise, Deluxe Massage and BKK Vice are massage listings on Soi 39. Lumi Nuru Massage & KTV is here too, filed under gentlemen's clubs. Four pages, one soi. Enough for a stop. Not enough to skip reading each one.
Thong Lo
Thong Lo's listed night is small and mixed. Massage pages include Thonglor ONE Massage, DNA Massage, FinMen Nuru Massage and Sakura Akasuri. Gentlemen's club listings include Tokimeki Thonglor Story and Elite Restaurant.
The restaurants and bars Thong Lo is famous for are not this list. This list is the adult-venue pages with a Thong Lo address. Use it when that is the errand. Use the neighbourhood itself when you wanted dinner.
Ekkamai
Ekkamai is the next BTS stop, and the listings thin out again. Rina Nuru Massage, Sento Bangkok and Dragon Lady BKK are the massage pages. Czech Club is the gentlemen's club. Waterbomb Massage gives a Sukhumvit 63 address, which is the Ekkamai soi number, so it belongs in this stop rather than in Thong Lo.
That is the whole pocket. Nobody should sell it as a second Nana. For the dense sois, go back west to Asok through Phrom Phong. For something off Sukhumvit entirely, Ratchada and RCA are the other map.
The Bangkok massage pages include these and a lot of sois in between. The map is the check that "near Thong Lo" was not optimistic.
