How to fit wellness and relaxation activities into a packed schedule while exploring Sukhumvit?

When it comes to keeping yourself fit and relaxed while travelling around in Sukhumvit, it is important to try and get as much physical exercise as possible. This can come in the form of walking or more strenuous activities, but setting up a time frame for this and following it with hydration and clean food are essential factors to maintain your health.

Walking Around Sukhumvit and Getting Your Steps In

Walking around Sukhumvit is a really good opportunity to explore the area while getting some exercise. At the same time, while walking around, you can take in the fresh air and if you head out toward the evening you can enjoy the amazing smell of authentic Thai street food, giving you something to look forward to during your walk around Sukhumvit. Regardless of where you are in Sukhumvit, have a basic outline of the local landmarks, parks, grounds, and other areas of interest that you might like to visit. 

For example, if you are staying at a boutique hotel in Sukhumvit such as the SQ Boutique Hotel, you can take the opportunity to run and exercise at local grounds such as the Lan It Daeng Quadrangle (more commonly known as ลานเทา-แดง), giving you the chance to mingle with the locals as they exercise and walk as well. 

Get Some Physical Exercise

Thailand is famous for its gyms, primarily due to the Muay Thai training offered across the country, bringing in a large volume of tourists and fighters. For beginners, gyms in Sukhumvit offer a wide range of packages and offers that will ease you into the world of Muay Thai in a very delicate manner. For more seasoned veterans, Thailand is the perfect place to hone your skills and develop new skillsets that will help you perform better before you return to your country.

Among the other popular physical activities in Sukhumvit, yoga is ranked quite high and its popularity can be traced to any local park or ground, where locals of all ages gather around to stretch their bodies and relax. The best way to do yoga in Sukhumvit for beginners is by joining a local yoga studio and taking lessons, or by hiring your very own personal yoga instructors. Alternatively, if you do practice yoga on your own, take this opportunity to join the locals at a park or training ground and have yoga sessions together out in the fresh air. 

Eat Clean Food

This is the main deciding factor when it comes to establishing whether your overall adventure in Sukhumvit would be relaxing and help keep you fit. The allure of oily but tasty street food may draw you in, but maintain your strength and turn to healthier street food options such as Som Tam (green papaya salad), Yam Mamuang (sour green mango salad), Pad Pak Raum Mit (stir fried vegetables), Kauai Teow Lui Suan (vegetable spring rolls), and Gaeng Jued Pak Ruam Tao Hoo (a type of soup).

Since Thailand is known as a cultural hub, its vibrant cuisine is very well known across the world as a healthy option that is absolutely packed with bold and vibrant flavours. Most hotels and restaurants in Sukhumvit will have healthy options as well, giving you a plethora of dishes to select from. Alternatively, you could still indulge in authentic Thai street food, as long as you have any of the local fruits available at the local Thai markets to balance the diet.

Stay Hydrated 

Staying hydrated is a key point when exploring almost any area, and Sukhumvit is not an exception to this rule. It is important to carry a water bottle or purchase a water bottle when walking around Sukhumvit, primarily because the Thai heat can soar above temperatures which would be uncomfortable for most visitors. Drinking cold water can be very refreshing on a hot day, however, consider drinking warm water before meals as it will improve digestion and help you gain the most out of your meals in Sukhumvit.
