Short answer Sukhumvit Soi 20 is about seven minutes' walk from Sukhumvit (MRT Blue) or Asok (BTS Sukhumvit) station, and it runs 610 metres south from Sukhumvit Road.

Getting there

Both stations are close to the corner of the soi. From either one, use exit 2 and walk south-east. The walk takes about seven minutes. If you are coming from the far end, Phrom Phong station (BTS Sukhumvit) is about ten minutes on foot from the soi, so use exit 6.
