I've seen a lot of cars and taxis doing that, and been in ~ 8 taxis so far myself - they never would have done it previously, and I assume the police are forgiving given the traffic situation at Asoke?


You could also exit your taxi at Soi 7, go up the Nana/BTS escalator, then back down the stairs on the other side and walk past Soi 6 to Soi 8. Crossing Sukhumvit on foot might be challenging there.
Assuming you don't have a lot of bags, true.
