Soi 11 is a bit of an odd-duck; it is used as part of what locals call the Sukhumvit shuffle, from Asoke to Soi 3, but getting to the expressway can be challenging depending on the time of day.

And the post you quoted stated the hacks didn't cause a fuss over Uber either.

There's no challenge getting to the highway from Soi 11. Back roads out to Soi 3, entering at Ploen Chit.
