Next time, look for something further down the road, or even in a different soi – maybe something near Nana Plaza but a little further away from the main drag. You'll find quieter places; Sukhumvit is huge!

Basically, your experience isn't unusual. Earplugs are your friend. Seriously. Invest in some good ones.
