Living in Asoke, Bangkok

Asoke sits at the busiest interchange on Sukhumvit, where the BTS Sukhumvit line meets the MRT Blue line. If your priority is getting anywhere in the city quickly, few areas beat it. It is central, busy, and built for people who value time.

Who it suits

• Professionals who commute daily and want the shortest possible trip
• People without a car who rely on the BTS and MRT
• Anyone who wants offices, malls, and nightlife within a few minutes' walk

Getting around

• BTS Asok and MRT Sukhumvit connect here, so you reach Silom, Sathorn, Chatuchak, and the airport links with one easy change
• Terminal 21 mall sits right on the corner of the interchange
• Sois off Sukhumvit (Soi 21 Asok-Montri, Soi 23) run quieter the further you go from the main road

What is nearby

Terminal 21 for everyday shopping and food, offices around the interchange, hospitals, and the restaurants and bars of lower Sukhumvit. Benjakitti Park and its lake and cycle path are a short hop away for green space and a run.

Roughly what you will pay

Rents move with the building, size, floor, and furnishing, so treat these as a rough guide rather than a quote.

• One-bedroom condos: roughly 25,000 to 45,000 baht a month
• Two-bedroom units and newer high-floor stock sit higher
• Buying is an option too, and quality varies a lot between buildings

The honest bit

Asoke is loud and dense. The main roads carry traffic and nightlife, and some buildings catch more noise than others. Pick your floor and orientation carefully, and it can be calm inside even when the street is busy.
