Let’s be honest—Bangkok can be a lot. The energy, the traffic, the street food smells (amazing but overwhelming at times)… sometimes you just need a little breathing room.
If you’re living in or around the Asoke area, or thinking about moving there, I’ve got a little gem for you: Benjakitti Park. It’s seriously one of the best spots in the city to chill out, move your body, or just escape the madness for a bit.
What’s So Great About Benjakitti Park?
First off, location. It’s right smack in the middle of the city—just a short walk from Asoke BTS and Queen Sirikit MRT. And yet, the second you step into the park, it’s like the chaos melts away. There’s a huge lake at the center, surrounded by wide-open paths perfect for running, walking, or biking.
They’ve even expanded it recently into what’s now called Benjakitti Forest Park, adding elevated walkways, wetlands, and tons of green space. It almost feels like a mini escape to the countryside—but with a skyline view.
A Favorite Among Expats (and Their Dogs)
If you’re an expat living in Bangkok, this place is kind of a dream. It’s quiet, clean, and there’s space to breathe—plus, it’s pet-friendly in some areas (big win for dog owners).
You’ll see all kinds of people here: Thai uncles doing tai chi at sunrise, digital nomads on morning jogs, couples out for evening strolls. It’s got a relaxed, community vibe that’s super refreshing in a city that moves at 100 miles an hour.
Thinking of Living Nearby?
Here’s the thing: once you start spending time at Benjakitti Park, you’re probably going to start wondering what it would be like to live nearby. And honestly? It’s a pretty great idea.
There are some amazing condos in the Asoke area that are perfect for expats. One example is [Insert Condo Name – e.g., “The Esse Asoke” or “Edge Sukhumvit 23”]—modern, stylish, and just a short walk to both the park and the train stations.
Living here means you get:
- Quick access to BTS & MRT (goodbye, traffic!)
- A short walk to Benjakitti Park for your morning jog or evening unwind
- Tons of restaurants, cafes, gyms, and even international supermarkets nearby
- A mix of locals and expats, so it’s easy to meet people
Final Thoughts
Bangkok doesn’t have to be all hustle, all the time. If you find the right neighborhood—like around Benjakitti Park in Asoke—you can have the best of both worlds: peaceful green space when you need to recharge, and city buzz when you’re ready to dive back in.
And if you’re thinking of making a move, a condo near the park could be the perfect upgrade. Trust me, your future self (and probably your dog) will thank you.
