Fifty-nine sois off a single road, and a thoroughly local daily life
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Sutthisan Winitchai Road runs from the east side of the Saphan Khwai intersection to the Lat Phrao canal, 4.5 kilometers in all. The later stretch of the road was originally named Inthamara Road, which is why the 59 sois on either side are still called Soi Inthamara today.
This area is often described as a genuinely local neighborhood, neither a tourist area nor a nightlife area; its sois mix old shophouses, local restaurants, and newly built condos. For getting around, MRT Sutthisan station is right under Ratchadaphisek Road.
Heading north on the MRT from Sutthisan station, you pass Ratchadaphisek, Lat Phrao and Phahon Yothin, then reach Chatuchak Park station, where you can change to BTS Mo Chit. For transit, this neighborhood ranks 24th out of 32 neighborhoods in Bangkok, and this is the only station in the neighborhood. Access to medical care is middling: healthcare ranks 22nd out of 32.
This area is densely populated: Din Daeng district, where it sits, had about 14,590 people per square kilometer in 2017. Sidewalks here rank last out of 32 neighborhoods in Bangkok, so take care on foot.
For everyday shopping it ranks third from the bottom out of 32. Groceries are often said to mean the nearby Big C Extra; for import-focused supermarkets like Villa Market or Tops, you'll need to ride the MRT.
Some low-lying sois are often said to have flooded in heavy rainy-season downpours in the past, so before looking at a ground-floor or low-floor unit, ask about its flood history.
In 1956, the Police Department allocated land next to the Bang Sue police station for police housing, putting Police Lieutenant General To Inthamara in charge. The land at the start of the road belonged to Phraya Sutthisan Winitchai, whose descendants donated it so the government could build the road.
In 1960 the road was named in two sections, and everything beyond the first 500 meters took the surname Inthamara.
In 2004, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration renamed the entire road Sutthisan Winitchai Road, but the soi names stayed the same; that same year, the MRT Blue Line's Sutthisan station opened.

Maps show the shops and the sights. What a street is like, you only know by walking it. TidyMap uses AI street imagery analysis and public facility data to turn each area's street environment and everyday convenience into something you can compare. Search an address and look at the street outside first.
How to read it: yellow = poor, blue = good; grey = not enough data
TidyMap rates the street environment and everyday convenience. It does not assess the home itself, safety, noise or actual living experience. Street environment scores use AI assessments of imagery; convenience scores use public facility data.
