We picked this relatively new Life@Sukhumvit as our Airbnb for our Bangkok 7D6N Trip.
After visiting Bangkok a couple of times previously, we wanted to experience living in the Sukhumvit area. Before our departure, I managed to book this cozy home on Airbnb with the title ” Walk 4 mins to BTS Sukhumvit 1 Br” (Life@Sukhumvit in Bangkok) and communicated with the host Chris. I loved this place for its high floor (25th floor, highest in the block), large area of 50 square meters with 1 bedroom and fully air-conditioned. Chris was also friendly and responsive to my queries.
I told Chris that we would reach around midnight, as we were taking the late night flight on Wednesday. He sent me the directions to his condo in English and Thai, and instructions to access his Airbnb. However, the directions were for the Suvarnabhumi International Airport. After I informed him of this, he quickly sent me the directions for Don Mueang. He even tried to call me on the afternoon of my departure during my meeting, so he sent me a note that the trains would not be operating so late.
Getting from Don Mueang International Airport to our Airbnb Life@Sukhumvit
That night, we took the AirAsia flight FD 352 from Changi Airport to the Don Mueang International Airport. It was our first time arriving at the Don Mueang Airport around 11:35pm. This airport is not as huge as Suvarnabhumi International Airport. Since we arrived so late, most of the shops already closed, hence we took the taxi directly to the Life@Sukhumvit. It is directly on Sukhumvit road, between soi 65 and soi 67. We reached the condo less than an hour via taxi.

Upon arrival at our Airbnb Life@Sukhumvit in Bangkok, we just took a few photos of the cosy home where we were going to stay, before turning in for the night.
The next day, we woke up and explored the facilities on the 26th storey of the Life@Sukhumvit
After a quick wash up, we left our unit and went to 26th storey. The swimming pool with jacuzzi jets and the gym are located on 26th floor. We took a tour of the gym before going for a soak in the pool.
