Overwhelmingly modern but with a less built-up, more out of town feel than, say, Sukhumvit, its distinctive features include the well-known Thailand Cultural Centre, famous cabaret shows, huge massage parlours, local nightclubs and pubs, as well as department stores and value-for-money hotels. In recent years it's gained something of a reputation for being an affordable nightlife spot - although this is more among locals than the expat or holiday crowd. There's easy access to the rest of the city by road, and while there's no Skytrain (BTS), it is extremely well-served by the MRT underground. There's a ready supply of inexpensive taxis available at any time, and Ratchadapisek offers quick access to the new Suvarnabhumi International Airport
