BTS connects to the MRT so it's not really a problem? Though to be honest I don't know why anyone would want to live in such expensive and crowded areas

Because they have money and desire easy walking access to a life.

Tourist style ????

You obviously have never been there.

It is 95% Thais mostly females who work at the business complexes in the area.

And indeed has been rated by many as the best Thai food for the price in the city.

I obviously have. I find that the food Court at the Mall at Thapra, my local Mall, is better and a few baht cheaper.

 

But hey, tell me what else is in that area within walking distance other than Malls and Western food (say within 3km, thats an easy walk)?

at this stage im looking at the asoke area 35-45k, party is not my focus, have a pretty serious career, and thats  my focus but from time to time i know how to get out and get it done. 

 

lived in mostly down town areas past decade, melbourne, brisbane, sydney, nyc, jakarta all dead centre cbd, so im accustom to this pace  and i like it.

where are you going to work Mate? What area.

 

Chitlom is upscale. Lots of good restaurants with western prices, high end hotels, better dressed tourists. The wind is in asoke

Moving mid Jan mate, yup aware wind is in asoke. Just after general advice on what's best.

The closer to your work the better. Remember that Sukhamvit Road from Asoke to Nana is a sewer. Asoke to Siam more upscale.

Got it, I'm thinking somewhere between SOI 18 - 33 somewhere.

Any recommendations welcome on decent modern condos. [emoji41]
