after searching, still dun quite really understand......pls advise.

Poseidon, Nataree, Emmanuel is in the Ratchapadisk area. North of the city. Ratcha is a road going north-south. No MRT access at this time. MRT access will be available around August 2004.

The Sukhumvit area is nearer downtown area. It is a road going east west. It is very accessible via the skytrain(MRT). The Sukhumvit area is popular with the Farang because of the beer bars. In this area, you will find NANA Plaza(lower Soi numbers), Eden Club, Soi Cowboy, the Piano clubs(higher Soi numbers).

I prefer staying around the Sukhumvit area because of the convenience of the MRT to get to MBK, Siam Square shopping area, Patpong, etc. Cabs are cheap & easy to get, but nothing beats the MRT in getting through the jams. It is also more convenient walking around the Suk area because the buildings are very closer together, but remember, its a long road. The buildings in the Ratcha area area are more widely spread out.

Getting from Suk to Ratcha can be a hassle during the rush hour. No joke, can take from 30 mins to almost 2 hours.
