About Asoke

The Asoke area of Bangkok is centred around the crossroads of Sukhumvit Road and Ratchadaphisek Road. The district is home to modern office and residential buildings and the Terminal 21 Shopping Mall. The high number of shops, restaurants, nightlife venues and hotels within easy reach of the Asoke Crossroads has made the area a popular base for visiting tourists.

Asoke is located at a major interchange of two of Bangkok’s city train lines. Bridges connect the BTS Skytrain Sukhumvit Line Station of Asoke with the entrances for the MRT underground station of Sukhumvit. Coming from Suvarnabhumi Airport, Asoke can be reached with just one change of train, while taxi is the best option if arriving at Don Mueang Airport. In addition to trains, tuk-tuks and motorcycle taxis are available for local journeys.
