Bangkok is an exotic, vibrant city with tons of interesting things to do, however, it has one big problem: it can be too busy at times.
Sure, it’s fine if you are a tourist looking for wild nightlife and adventures every single day of your stay, but if you are planning to move here for a season or indefinitely, then you need to pick somewhere to live that solves this problem, and that place is Asok.
It’s peaceful, yet centrally located and modern. It is the perfect combination, and that is why many people, especially expats, choose to live here. Now that you have the right impression of Asok – an oasis in the middle of the lively city of Bangkok – let’s delve into the details of why it is the perfect neighborhood.
If you value privacy, then you will be happy to know that Asok can offer you that, especially if you rent a property in Sukhumvit Soi 19. You will have total discretion, and at the same time, you will have easy access to the rest of the city, both because of its central location and also its connectivity. There are both BTS and MRT stops at the Asok intersection.
Furthermore, if you are the kind of expat who needs to travel often, then you will be happy to know that the Airport Rail Link at Petchburi MRT stop is incredibly near. Forget about the mad airport rush, the Link will make your life much easier.
One of the most wonderful things about living in Asok is that you can enjoy peace and privacy whilst having many interesting things to do, like shopping or the Escape Hunt. You will also have some of the best restaurants and cafes in the city right at your doorstep. Simply magical.
A popular expat hangout spot is the quaint café, Case Study, which is famous for offering exquisite coffee and delicious brunch options. You can find it in Sukhumvit Soi 21.
If you are in the mood for something truly refined, then you must visit Paris Mikki, a patisserie where you can order delicious coffee to go with mouthwatering French pastries. It feels just like being in Paris! You can find it in Soi 19.
When it comes to restaurants, your options are varied and delicious:
- For meat and BBQ lovers, you must visit El Gaucho Argentinian Steakhouse (Soi 19)
- For delicious bar food and potent drinks, you must visit Kenshin Izakaya (Soi 19)
- For exquisite pizzas and Italian food, Big Mama Pizza is the place for you (Soi 19)
- For authentic Thai food with an eclectic vibe, you must visit Madam Saranair (Soi 19)
- For world-class Japanese food, Yumeiji is the perfect choice (Soi 19).
As for shopping, all you need to do is visit Terminal 21, which is right at the Asok intersection. Here you can buy anything you can think of: local designer clothing, gadgets, groceries, ready-to-eat meals, jewelry, books, etc. Its themed floors and quirky shops make it a popular hangout spot.
If you want a place to work out and receive all the fitness guidance you need, you will be happy to know that not only does Terminal 21 contain a Fitness First, but Aspire is also at the Asok intersection. It is one of the best gyms in the city, and it offers you a wide variety of training: crossfit, weight lifting, cardio, customized programs and more.
What about nightlife? Again, Asok will not disappoint. If you like to drink cocktails in an elegant environment, you must visit Q&A Bar. Note that it is quite exclusive, so you either need to arrive on time or reserve in advance. There are many other clubs and bars within walking distance.
If you decide to live in Asok, you will have the magnificent Benjakitti Park at your doorstep, a place where you can sit down, relax and soak in the greenery. It is the perfect spot for a jog, a romantic walk or a family picnic; tranquility right in the middle of Bangkok.
As you can see, you will not be bored of living in this part of the city, which is far more convenient and entertaining than other areas in the outskirts.
Now you have all the reasons why Asok is one of the best places to live in Bangkok. It is ideal in different senses, as you have seen; it brings you the best of all worlds. With easy access to other parts of the city, privacy, tranquility, a central location and entertainment at your reach, it is hard not to fall in love with it.
