Asok is Bangkok's great crossroads: it is where the BTS Sukhumvit line meets the MRT Blue Line. Offices, malls and high-rise condos make it ideal for people who travel around the city a lot. Our catalogue here mostly features recent, well-equipped one-bedroom units very close to the stations.
1.Atmosphere: Sukhumvit's centre of gravity
Asok (often spelled Asoke) refers to the junction of Sukhumvit Road and Asok Montri Road, around Soi 19 to 23. It is a business district as much as a residential one: office towers, hotels, the Terminal 21 mall directly connected to the stations, and a high density of high-rise condos.
The atmosphere is very urban and busy at all hours. Some nearby streets are known for their nightlife: the choice of building and which way it faces matter a lot if you value quiet.
Who is it for?
- professionals working in Asok, Sathorn, Silom or along the Sukhumvit line;
- people who move around the city a lot and want two metro lines at their door;
- singles and couples who prefer a modern, compact and central home.
2.Getting around
This is the area's main strength:
- BTS Asok (Sukhumvit line) and MRT Sukhumvit (Blue Line) are linked by a walkway;
- the Blue Line runs towards Silom (Si Lom station), Bang Sue station and the Ratchada area, among others;
- two MRT stops away, Phetchaburi connects to the Airport Rail Link at Makkasan, for Suvarnabhumi airport;
- allow about 10 to 15 minutes by BTS to Siam.
3.Daily life
- Terminal 21, with a supermarket, food court and cinema, right at the stations;
- many restaurants, cafés and supermarkets on Soi 19 to 23;
- the large Benchakitti Park, within walking distance from the lower end of Ratchadaphisek Road, for running or strolling by the lake;
- Srinakharinwirot University (Soi 23) and many language schools;
- Sukhumvit's private hospitals, a few stations away.
4.Where to look in the area
- Soi 19 to 23, north side of Sukhumvit: closest to both stations and Terminal 21, with recent and compact condos.
- Asok Montri Road (Soi 21) heading north: offices, condos and access towards Phetchaburi, convenient for the Airport Rail Link.
- South side, towards Ratchadaphisek Road and Benchakitti Park: a little more open, with the park within walking distance.
- Soi 12 to 16, across the main road: several older, often more affordable buildings, a few minutes' walk from the BTS.

7.Before a viewing: the questions to ask
In Asok, a few simple checks make all the difference:
- Which way do the bedrooms face? Main road or side street: not the same experience.
- Which floor? Higher floors are often quieter and brighter.
- Is the route to the station covered? In the rainy season, it matters.
- What is the building's policy on visitors and deliveries?
