Asoke Tower Sukhumvit 21

Srinakharinwirot University is nearby, so the area is busy through the day, and the main city routes run close to the building.

For those who drive, the apartments have fixed parking spaces, and Sukhumvit 21 connects to the main roads of central Bangkok without long detours.

The condominium was completed in 1986 and has 28 floors. The project is a single building rather than a complex of towers, so it reads as one compact whole. Asoke Tower is known for oversized units: the apartments here are much larger than is usual for city condominiums. The apartments are kept in good condition, and some have been renovated recently.

The building has a swimming pool, a sauna and a fitness centre. Pets are allowed, which suits owners with animals. Many apartments look out on greenery and the pool, so the outlook stays calm even in the centre of the city. Each apartment comes with a fixed parking space, and in some cases there are two such spaces.
