I've had enough, it's time to move. After living in Bangkok for almost 1.5 years, and exploring many of the neighbirhoods in the area, I am so done living here. This is the most overrated area in Bangkok, it's time to move to a different area. Join me as I explain why I lived in the Asoke area ever since I arrived in Bangkok Thailand. I'll share what drew me in, and ultimately what has made me move away from here. Many people chose to live in Asok for a variety of reasons, however I think it's one of the most overrated areas in Bangkok. I will cover the positives and negatives of living in this very popular and in my opinion very overrated, area. I wanted a bigger condo in a quieter area, and after looking at many different units, I feel I found the right condo and area for me.

@TommyDJr45 10 месяцев назад

One thing I've noticed is that we ALL at one point stayed in the Asoke area, and we ALL got tired of it and moved to more "local" type of areas. I live in Bang Na now and I love how it feels like I actually live in Thailand, among Thai people. When living in Asoke it felt like I lived in an expat bubble/theme park.

@LifewithSerg 10 месяцев назад

You are absolutely correct! I didn’t go quite as far as you did, but I’m pretty happy with my new location. When my contract expires in one year, perhaps I’ll move to another area again.

These condos look very tight for you, Serg! We moved to Bangkok around Sep '22, found a 120 sqm older apartment (built in the 90s) for barely 20k in the end of Soi 31, its wonderfully quiet here, though... ahem... conducive to long walks :D Our steps counter is rarely below 10k on any day. Whale market looks wonderful, should visit! On the other end of Asoke I highly recommend the Ruam Sab market for it's expansive food area. Best of luck with your new place!

@LifewithSerg 10 месяцев назад

Soi 31 is great! There’s lots of good restaurants there and I’m very familiar with it. 120 m² is way more than I need, and I wanted something that was five minutes walk or less from BTS, as well as the building being relatively new. Ruam Sab is a great Mark! I covered it partially one of my videos a while back.

The Beat reason to live near Asoke is that you are near to the best Gaucho’s Argentinian steak house on Soi 19. My wife and I s favorite steak house in Bangkok. We used to live on Soi Lang Suan but needed a larger house when we decide we would make our replacements. We now live up near Don Mueang with 440sqm and a pool. It’s pretty cheap except for the electricity.

@LifewithSerg 10 месяцев назад

@jasonc1130 5 месяцев назад

Hi Serg, New to ur channel and really enjoyed this vid.. I lived for only a couple months last year in Bangkok, while there i stayed in a condo in Ekkamai and it was ok, but i will be returning to Bangkok for good in the next couple of years and will most likely live in Asok for one reason, and one reason only- i absolutely fell in love with Benjakatti Park.. I want to live near enough to the park to be able to go take runs and walks there every day.. even living in Ekkamai i found too far in terms of having to get onto the BTS all sweaty, or catch a Grab car.. If not for proximity to the park, there are many other places in BKK id choose to live, like Bang Na or Punnawithi et al, while saving money as well.. Unfortunately i did not see many nice parks like Benjakatti/Lumpini in other, less expensive parts of the city.. Are there any other great parks im unaware of ? Thanks !

@LifewithSerg 5 месяцев назад

It’s a wonderful park, but you will most likely tire of living in Asoke eventually. It’s tourist central and just so crowded. I really wanted to live within walking distance if Lumphini park, as it is my favorite park here. Unfortunately the few condo buildings that exist around it add quite old. I hope you enjoy your new life here.

@jasonc1130 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the quick response ! Funny, i posted my comment before i had even watched ur next video where you discuss that you’d moved to Ekkamai.. I did enjoy it there . When im back permanently, i think what i may do is start off living in Asok for the first 6 months-1 year, until i get my fill of working out/running at Benjakatti , then move further out, lol .. I love to play tennis and there are some nice facilities out towards Bang Na/ Phra Kanong like Simoorgh Tennis, so it would be nice to be closer to that area. Krap khun krap !

It was always the area of 'firsts': First 7/11 in Thailand, first red light district, first high-rise building (the former Dusit Thani Hotel), first hospital - BNH or Bangkok Nursing Home, first all-girls convent school (St.Josephs), first condominium building (on Sala Daeng 2).

Serg, all of your 7 Eleven water runs convinced me to buy a damn hydroflask while i'm out here🤣. I have a 40 oz metal water bottle that i drop some ice cubes in and refill at those water machines around town as i go about my day. Since it's thick metal, it doesn't lose it''s cool or have condensation.

@LifewithSerg 10 месяцев назад

Yeah, those are great. I like the simplicity of buying a bottle of water, drinking it and throwing the bottle away. It’s just the easiest solution for me.

@mastermind2032 10 месяцев назад

@@LifewithSerg don't get me wrong. Nothing beats holding an ice cold bottle of 7 Eleven water to the forehead and roll it from temple to temple. That's heaven. Can't get that with my metal bottle.

To be wise, you can rent the high end apartments with malls, night markets, theaters with skytrains to Asoke in the cheaper, less touristy area hahaha. I live in RATCHAYOTIN besides Major Cineplex theater. Only 3 BTS stations to Central Ladprao mall. New Jodd Fair just around the corner.

Do you know what’s really funny, I lived there for almost a year and a half. I didn’t get to go into that particular bar until after I moved! I think the rest of them are horrible. The only place I ever really went there was to oasis. It was a great place to sit and people watch.

If it were me, I would recommend Lat Phrao. Accommodation there is several times cheaper than Sukhumvit. more local The journey is comfortable as well. Sukhumvit land costs are expensive. Condo accommodation in that area is therefore expensive as well. If you rent a 1 bedroom condo in Sukhumvit for 12000 per month If in Lat Phrao, for 12000 baht you will get a condo with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room as well. Ladprao, convenient transportation, there is food for you to eat 24 hours a day. There is a yellow line BTS. There are many department stores. Many night markets It should be another good option for you😁😁🙏🙏

Get away from Sukhumvit Road corridor. You pay a huge premium for living along there. 6 years ago, I rented a two bedroom, spacious condo in Ramkhamhaeng for 17k Baht. Nice pool, gym, parking (free for my motorbike). Close to the airport railway, an easy run down to Sukhumvit Road, also easy to access other parts of the city. Plenty of malls around, plenty of good street food. Pretty peaceful, too.

If it wasn't so damn expensive for the locals to stay, then they would love to stay but the area too commercialized to be called homes. You have to either already live there for generations or you're a multi-millionaire to stay in Asoke as Thai. And during certain times of the day the area actually have more foreign tourists than it is Thai locals on the streets, as a local sometimes I forgot that I'm in Thailand. I barely travel to the district myself been living 40 minutes north of Bangkok and now 2 hours away in Kanchanaburi. I hate traffic jams though so even if I can afford a few condos there I'd still choose somewhere else in Bangkok.

@LifewithSerg 10 месяцев назад

While I haven't ever lived in BKK I arrived there in March after a long hiatus and gotta say Asok bored me to bits...Through a serendipitous event I travelled about 15km South West of the CBD and spent a week there - zero farang, zero English and zero malls but what amazing markets, chaotic streets and friendly people plus awesome suburban drinking establishments...I've been back three times since and there's 'adventures' around every corner.
